要摆摊首先必须获得市政府发放的流动餐车摊位许可，但这个许可的数量是有限制的。
“2007年的时候，所有的许可就发完了，现有的许可是从别人那里租来的，租金是2万美元，期限是2年。”

(2013/10/06) 新餐车管理法规 温市官员拟修正 (E/C) New food cart bylaw to go before council in November

Some food cart owners are upset with the City of Vancouver, saying they are being ripped off for food cart permits when new entrants are paying just a fraction of their rent.

Many operators have been forced to close up shop on their food carts after paying up to $10,000 annually. The operators have been subletting prime spots all over the city, long before the city’s food cart program with its lower rents came into effect.

A city food cart permit today costs just $1,000 a year under the city’s new program.

Disgruntled food truck owners have been petitioning the city for changes to the system for months, and now it appears the city is finally listening.

Deputy City Manager Sadhu Johnston tells Global News that the city is planning a new bylaw to address the subletting of vendor leases.

“In November, staff plan to bring forward a new bylaw to City Council to address the issue of subletting vendor leases. City staff will be recommending to City Council that no subleasing be allowed for food cart permits and that a transition plan be developed for the vendors that are currently working on subleased locations. The City is working to find a balanced approach which ends the practice of subleasing but minimizes the impact on existing vendors whose businesses rely on subleased sites. The transition strategy will be developed with input from vendors over the coming weeks.”

Global News has also learned that the city has called a meeting for all Vancouver street vendors Thursday, October 10th at 4:00 PM at the Creekside Community Centre.

The goal of the meeting is: “To maintain the goals and future development of the program, the City is working to create an equitable business environment and responsive program for all operating vendors.”

温市近年来扩大推动街头餐车计划，部分原来的餐车业主抱怨，与新入行的业者相比，他们的须付的营业执照费太贵。市府官员将提出一份修正的新餐车市政附例，于11月提交市议会讨论。
餐车业主指出，每年光是付营业执照就得花上最多1万元，反观新引进的餐车的成本门槛较低，仅被要求付大约1000元，两者相差悬殊，非常不公平。业者表示，有些老字号的街头餐车入不敷出，根本支撑不下去，被迫停业。
许多不满被「剥削」的餐车业主已向市府提出请愿，要求变更餐车管理条例。
助理市经理Sadhu Johnston表示，正在研议一项新的管理餐车承租计划的市政附例，预定于11月呈交议会讨论。
市府官员也安排下周四在福溪畔社区中心(Creekside Community Centre)开协调会，邀请所有餐车经营者出席开会。
