In the “coffee” business, you can’t skimp on anything. You need to meet the customer’s expectations so that they come back again. In this article, we’ll explore how much it costs to open a mobile coffee truck.
Mobile coffee truck: the cheapest option
Many entrepreneurs choose not to invest money in equipment and transportation, opting instead to rent a “coffee car” to see if it’s profitable. They also work independently, saving money on staff salaries.
There are many rental options available on the market for such vehicles. Monthly rentals start from $100 to $300. It all depends on the appearance and equipment of the vehicle. Don’t forget that you’ll have to pay a deposit. The amount ranges from $100 to $1000. The rental price includes paper cups, sugar sticks, technical maintenance, and barista training.
Buying a coffee truck
If you want to buy a vehicle with equipment and a franchise, you’ll need to invest at least $10,000 to $35,000. If you opt for a used vehicle, your expenses will be halved.
Refurbishing a vehicle with external advertising branding will cost $3,000 to $7,000. This assumes that you’re not purchasing the vehicle but already own it.

A quality coffee brewing machine costs around $3,000. A kilogram of coffee beans costs approximately $8. For preparing one portion of coffee, 8 grams of ground beans are sufficient.
If you manage to sell 100 cups of coffee per day, you’ll need 2.5 kilograms of beans per month ($20).
Selling 3000 cups of coffee per month would require purchasing 300 liters of water ($10), as well as 10 kilograms of sugar ($10), 3000 paper cups (approximately $50), and 100 liters of gas for the power system ($60).
The minimum assortment “package” per month would cost $150. Additional expenses include parking space for the vehicle and fuel. If hiring staff, you’ll need to add $300-700 per person to the total expenses.
If you choose a good location, you can sell not just 100, but 200-300 cups of coffee per day. Profit will depend on your assortment.
