Vance put in his order ... and, check out the clip, 'cause the woman at the counter immediately asks not to be shown on camera. Vance makes a point of telling the press to cut her out of their vids.

While the Yeezy architect was technically covered up for an outing at Nobu Malibu with husband Kanye West's kids and some of her own family ... BC's outfit still left very little to the imagination -- as the scrap of clothing hung low enough to just barely cover her rump.

'Hawk Tuah' Girl Still Trademarking on That Thang!!! BBQ Sauce, Betting & More

Ya gotta hand it to Haliey Welch ... the Internet's "Hawk Tuah" girl keeps spitting up new ideas to build a merchandising empire, attaching her catchphrase to all sorts of products and, umm ... services.

According to new trademark filings filed by Haliey's company, and obtained by TMZ, the budding entrepreneur's eyeing a couple of new business ventures -- including a sports betting service, which she notably dubs, "Bet on That Thang."

It appears the betting service will also extend to other types of entertainment services and casino gaming. Haliey hasn't really shown herself to be much of a gambler on social media ... but she'd be wise to get some skin in the gaming/wagering industry.
