This is a very efficient solution to the problem of temporary dining. It's on wheels, can move way easier than a shed, and can even be moved for street cleaning! I don't think this counts as a structure, it's still a running vehicle, and therefore, I believe they are legally within their right to continue offering this method of outdoor dining. But I am no lawyer. I would consult with one about this, because they might say similar, the only thing I can see them mentioning is the liability of it being near the roadway, something an outdoor dining shed already would've been.
