Mobile bars have the potential to be profit drivers for a business. Beyond simply providing beverage services, mobile bars can contribute to increased revenue and profitability in several ways.

In order to be compliant with local laws, mobile bars in California will need to get many of the same permits as restaurants, including a business license, food handlers permits for every employee, and a seller's permit. In addition to these, they'll also need to get a mobile food facility permit and a liquor license.

For instance, in Ohio, the process of obtaining licenses and permits for a mobile bar business involves acquiring a business license, certificate of occupancy, food handler's license, seller's permit, liquor license permit, mobile food facility permit, and public health permit.
