Emergency Waiver allows food trucks to serve diners.
Food trucks will not be able to serve food for outdoor dining. It’s the new norm, and it’s so different than anything experienced in the past. It is a big step, though to helping our Outer Banks restaurants survive. Michelle Wagner, writing for the Outer Banks Voice gives the details. We’re including a last minute update that allows for food truck dining to happen.
Update: The Town of Kill Devil Hills has now enacted an Emergency Order for Food Service Temporary Waivers. Effective immediately, the Emergency Order for Food Service Temporary Waivers allows temporary outdoor service of restaurant patrons at such time Governor Cooper takes action to allow restaurants and food-service establishments to seat patrons, and only if such action includes capacity restrictions. It also allows immediate temporary operation of food service trucks.
In the next few days, Kill Devil Hills Mayor Ben Sproul is expected to issue a local executive order that will allow restaurants in the town to dedicate 25 percent of their parking lots for outdoor dining when the state moves into the next phase of re-opening during the COVID-19 pandemic.
