    I own the oldest Food Truck / Cart in the world, 1860's. Few things I never hear from videos on businesses, etc. 1. Weather / Environment. 2. Trading Times / Hours and Days. 3. Set Location and times at that location 4. Local Major Events to research for upcoming, trade at your set location, and stock more popular foods - considering the type of people going to those events too. 5. Easy access to short-term parking / nearby bus stop, etc for customers. That is all I will share as I had to learn all the pitfalls myself. lmao. Plus, that's all I can remember off the top of my head, I am getting old. lmaooooo

      food trucks should still definitely care about quality but the overall experience and mindset of a food truck customer is vastly different than one at a restaurant. Just want to make sure people are mindful of that!

      It varies from state to state, but unless you're selling cottage goods you'll need to prep your food in either a commissary kitchen or in some states you can prep on the truck if you have a 3 compartment sink.

    @r1-le801 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Question. I feel the Pareto Principle is inefficient here. If 20% of the menu makes up for 80% of the sales, that means the other 80% of the menu makes up 20% of the sales. If we are capable of producing a product that's worthy of making up for 80% of sales, than it seems inefficient to spend 80% of our prep time for products that will only make up 20% of the sales. This is why I assume some trucks just offer 1 or 2 items max. (Hot dog carts included)

  • @dramspringfeald
    @dramspringfeald Před 8 měsíci

    Here's the problem with what I'm looking to do. I live outside the middle of nowhere, there are 5-6 food trucks that service 2 towns and we barely have 3000 people split between them.
    I could pick anything because there is no competition. The local restaurants are old Mexican and also old Mexican which everyone is openly tired of, the 3 in the main town are taco or burrito trucks owned by the same family, and the one in the county capital is Hamburgs.... So, there are no competition on that market.
    I'm thinking smoked meats (extremely popular but almost always extremely over priced and they end up shutdown in under a year) or Asian anything which lasted forever until they got caught by ICE and food safety.

    2nd, you have no experience on food trucks.
    This is all...research...

    I personally thick stay in a very good location to keep you truck. Great drive by lunch and dinner. North west florida i have a boat and trailer repair and sales. The property is 2 aces. A very busy highway. City water sewer and electric. We work 6 days a week 7 to 5. You trailer would be best 10:30 to 6 or 6:30. People on the road eat at lunch and dinner. Very little breakfast. Great fresh food and many people no longer go to eat in the restaurant. The price to rent, build and pay that much money is very difficult. Keep it simple. Just my opinion.
