Food truck operators serving East Honolulu need a Honolulu peddler's license plus a state mobile food permit. Fees are modest but permits must be renewed annually.
ROH Chapter 13, Article 6 establishes a peddler's license for mobile vendors including food trucks. Sec. 13-6.1 sets an annual fee of $27.50, Sec. 13-6.2 contains operational regulations, Sec. 13-6.3 bars deceptive sales, and Sec. 13-6.4 imposes penalties for violations. Operators must also hold a Hawaii Department of Health Mobile Food Establishment permit and a Hawaii general excise tax license. East Honolulu food trucks commonly serve Koko Head Regional Park, Hanauma Bay overflow lots, and shopping centers, but on-street vending is restricted in many areas and landowner permission is required for private-property operation.
Operating without a peddler's license or MFE permit can trigger fines, confiscation of inventory, and license revocation.
