What this Tab covers
State cottage food and home kitchen law changes with sales caps, food truck permit, commissary and location rule changes by city, health code and inspection rule changes, delivery platform commission cap and disclosure rules, tip credit and service charge rules for restaurants, alcohol delivery and to-go rules, restaurant grant and loan programs, and FDA Food Code adoption by state, with the state or city first.
- State legislatures and health departments
- City permit and food truck ordinances in the 100 largest cities
- FDA Food Code adoption
- DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub commission cap ordinances
- State alcohol control boards
- SBA and state restaurant grant programs
- DOL tip and service charge rules
Why it matters
A cottage food cap raised from $25,000 to $100,000, a delivery commission cap saving $500 a month, or a permit rule change caught before a $1,000 fine each returns the fee.
Who it is for
- The 1 million restaurant owners, 40,000 food truck operators and 200,000 cottage food producers running a food business in the US.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Monday 12:00 UTC. Health code and cottage food law changes take effect January 1 and July 1, permit renewals are due annually by city, and delivery platform fee caps change with council votes

Brief for Restaurant, Food Truck & Cottage Food Rule WatchTrack food business rules for US operators. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state cottage food and home kitchen law changes with sales caps, allowed foods and registration rules; food truck permit, commissary, location, generator and parking rule changes in cities over 100,000; health code, inspection and FDA Food Code adoption changes by state; delivery platform commission caps, fee disclosure and listing consent rules affecting DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub; tip credit, service charge and surcharge rules from DOL and states; alcohol to-go, delivery and license changes; and restaurant grant, loan and disaster relief programs with deadlines. Prefer legislative, health department, city ordinance, DOL, alcohol board and SBA sources; ignore vendor marketing. Put the state or city first in the title. Use high severity for a rule taking effect within 60 days, a grant deadline within 30 days, or a fee change over $200 a month. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it applies to, the deadline, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
