Gov. Baker has done the same today in Massachusetts. A one month ban on on-site service starting Tuesday. Any food establishment will be allowed to do deliver

  A license needed for delivery/takeout? How is that justified?

    Handling food safely requires training and process. Delivering food is a totally different environment than serving it in house.

      There is nothing complicated about putting food in a delivery box and driving it somewhere.

        How many meals should you deliver in one delivery? In what order? Where can the food be in the car? (Is it ok to put it on the floor?) How long can the food be allowed to get cold before it's no longer ok to deliver? What are you expected to cover, insurance wise, for your delivery drivers? How is your business prepared if your delivery driver has an accident? How much do you need to contribute to vehicle maintenance? Who owns the vehicle? Yeah, I'd say it's definitely not just 'throw food in a box' and driving it somewhere.

          As much as you want, whatever order makes sense, anywhere, yes, FDA says 2 hours in the danger zone, google the rest or get a legalzoom consultation if you're unsure.

    In Massachusetts, everything is either illegal, or requires a license.
