Fire safety compliance
Wood fire at market events — critical. Check specific requirements with market organiser before booking. Some markets prohibit open wood fires entirely.
Temperature control compliance
Toppings below 5°C before cooking. Pizza cooked at 400-500°C kills pathogens effectively.
Allergen labelling compliance
Gluten in dough, dairy in cheese — must be declared.
My notes:
Market stall fee
Fuel — travel
Firewood
Significant ongoing cost — factor into margin calculations.
Generator fuel
For lighting and topping refrigeration at site.
