STARTING A FOOD TRUCK BUSINESS

The food truck concept is no longer just a passing fad or trend…it is a $1 billion dollar industry. What makes dining “a la carte” so appealing? Several factors have led to the success of the food truck industry…slow growing economy, shorter lunch hours, low overhead as compared to a brick and mortar location, and mobility. How can you start your own food truck business? First, consider these factors; menu, licenses, startup costs, locations and branding. Sounds simple, right?
