Hello! The street vendors are unfortunately out of the purview of FSSAI rules and regulations. Street vendors are mostly uneducated people with good sense of business. Best way would be to have a form signed wherein we have thebasic terms of contract laid down in say, Hindi. The form can have terms such as (i) the method and packaging of food; (ii) time of delivery; (iii) ensure that they attend government's hygeine drives; (iv) uniform of the delivery man etc. Your website MUST have a disclaimer that you are just facilitating home delivery of street vendor's food and cannot ensure food safety. You do not have to form a company with them. You have to have binding contracts and training sessions with them. You can take cue from the model that Urban Clap is following. Wish you all the best!

Thank you for your question. You can have a structure wherein every street vendor intending to be associated with your company can enter into a contract with the company. This contract will be legally binding on them and is immaterial if they operate out of a place in the street. However caution must be taken at the tim of drawing up the agreement to ensure that all the liabilities and responsibilities that will fall upon the company with respect to health standards and consumer protection is trickled down to the vendor.
