A set of rules for American students to do business on the roadside

Open-air barbecue and urban management fought guerrilla warfare, and melon farmers and urban management in Hunan made a murder case, but when domestic roadside stalls reached Chinatown in the United States, the scenery changed.

At the subway entrance of Chinatown in Boston, USA, there is a big red mobile dining car parked. You can see several striking Chinese characters when you get out of the subway. Authentic mutton kebabs? . It is worth noting that the open-air barbecue was converted into? Dining car? . This morning, Liu Xiao, the owner of the dining car, accepted an exclusive interview with our reporter, saying that this was mainly because the Boston municipal government stipulated that charcoal was not allowed to be operated and used in the open air.

? It has been driving for two weeks, and no law enforcement officers have come to drive it away, nor have they come to see our license plate. Just a guest curiously asked if there was any urban management to take care of it. ? Liu Xiao said.

All rules

Liu Xiao told reporters that the closed dining car you saw is one of the steps to obtain a legal license. To run such a small roadside stall, you have to deal with the American health department and fire department to check the conditions and equipment of the dining car.

? My kebab truck is equipped with a range hood, ventilation system and fire prevention equipment. ? Liu Xiao said that unlike vendors in China, vendors in the United States mostly focus on long-term interests.

? I don't know whether China has a complete procedure to apply for a roadside stall license like the United States, and I don't know whether these mobile vendors know how to legalize their business. ? In an interview with reporters, Liu Xiao said such a question.

He told reporters that in the United States, the municipal government has clear regulations on the specifications of roadside stalls, the location of stalls, the goods sold and the time of setting up stalls. The places where stalls can be set up are mainly places where office workers and tourists can buy nearby, such as the entrance of subway stations. As for the goods sold, the rule is that they cannot conflict with the goods in the surrounding shops, nor will they cause greater competition to the surrounding shops. The time of setting up stalls is also very detailed. For example, his kebab dining car is open from 10 to 9: 00 pm.

? The Boston city government also stipulates that the dining car I run must also be equipped with GPS locator, so that the relevant departments can accurately grasp the location and operation time of the dining car every day, so as to see if you have violated the regulations. ? Liu Xiao said,? These regulations are very clear, as long as you do well, the government will not embarrass you. ?

In addition, Liu Xiao also told reporters that as operators, they also know how to protect their own interests. ? Our vendors who run roadside stalls are all insured. For example, mine is a gourmet dining car. If guests have food problems, they can complain, and we can also have insurance to compensate them. ? He preached.

Win-win situation

Liu Xiao said, with China? Roadside stall culture? The biggest difference is that American vendors run roadside stalls, which is a win-win model for the government and operators.

Although Liu Xiao's dining car is only a roadside stall, they are a registered limited liability company.

? As a company, it needs to pay taxes to the government after making profits and create tax revenue for the government. If we hire employees, it will also create employment opportunities for the government. This is a win-win model for the government and operators. ? Liu Xiao said.

He told reporters that since the opening of his mutton kebab dining car for two weeks, apart from individual guests asking whether there is a city management to manage it, he has not met any law enforcement officers for two weeks, and he has come to check or ask for their licenses every three or five weeks. In fact, in this case, many manufacturers can fully exploit the vulnerability. But as far as he knows, no one has done it yet.

As for the reasons, first of all, once discovered, the booth may be banned and severely punished. Secondly, no law enforcement officers often come to check because they trust their management system and vendors, and trust is mutual. Vendors naturally believe that as long as they follow the rules, nothing will happen.

? Because such a management system is very mature, urban management does not need to enforce the law all the time, and vendors have no awareness of exploiting loopholes at all. ?

happen to meet

? It is legal to set up a stall in the United States as long as it is approved by the municipal government and the health bureau. ? Guan Liming, a reporter from the American Overseas Chinese News, said in an interview that the main function of American police patrolling roadside stalls (similar to urban management in China) is to investigate and deal with illegal stall owners with legal licenses, and whether they have legal licenses or not.

Municipal governments all over the United States have designated some areas to allow small vendors to set up stalls. Small vendors will know in advance which areas can set up stalls and which areas can't before they go to apply for licenses and prepare to set up stalls, so setting up stalls in the prescribed areas will naturally not be driven away by the police.

? However, if their stalls violate the rules, such as failing to meet the hygiene standards, etc. So the American police will step in. ? Guan Liming said, however, the police will not confiscate vendors' booths and products, but impose fines on vendors who do not meet the standards.

For the ticket, if the hawker thinks that the police are unreasonable and does not need to argue with the police theory, he can take out evidence and appeal to the court.

Liu Xiao said that in the United States, they are basically attached to the police? Urban management? The function of managing roadside stalls needs a higher moral standard, and the police will pay more attention to their own behavior when enforcing the law, which will have any adverse impact on future trials.

However, when encountering illegal traders, there will also be violence. For example, illegal traders resist law enforcement or violent resistance to arrest, and the police can take violent measures to suppress violence or even draw guns. After that, these policemen will report their reasons for taking these measures to their superiors.

Chat stall owner

Now Liu Xiao's mutton string has been? Fire? On the domestic network, another reason seems to be his background.

He is ambitious and has an MBA from Boston University. Liu Xiao said that his parents immigrated to the United States when he was very young, and he arrived in the United States at the age of 15. So I have deep feelings with my friends, and I don't want to go further and further with my friends because of my work. Before the official operation of this kebab dining car, a lot of planning was done. Because the government has regulations on the location of stalls, they naturally choose Chinatown where China people are concentrated.

? Invite people to try and give suggestions, even the details of how much meat is needed for each string of meat. ? Liu Xiao said that business is better than expected, but it is also more tired than expected. ? The outdoor temperature is 356 degrees, and it can reach 50 or 60 degrees in the dining car. Barbecue at this temperature is quite challenging. ? Liu Xiao said.
