How to start a food truck business
New cafe formats with original designs are gaining great popularity. They attract visitors’ attention and bring in decent profits. Let’s consider how to start a food truck business.
Food truck – what is it
At the end of the 19th century, the concept of a food truck was invented in the United States. It’s a trailer or van that is converted for storage, cooking, and selling ready-to-eat food. The equipment for work and a mobile kitchen are installed. The staff usually consists of 1-2 people.
A kitchen on wheels can compete with cafes. It’s best to choose a vehicle that can move and change locations for trading.
The customer interacts with the chef and has the opportunity to see the entire process of preparing food. This is an interesting activity that many people are willing to observe.
What to sell in a food truck
It’s best to trade in shawarma, coffee, hot dogs, pizza, burgers, and other classic foods. In the summer, it’s essential to add chilled drinks and ice cream to the menu. A small van will be enough for this. You can sell Italian, American, or Korean street food. This format will definitely be a hit.
