Starter Guide for Food Truck Business: Food Truck Business and Restaurants, #1

By Chuck Street

If you feel like starting a food truck business but don't know how to go about it, then read on.

Street food is increasingly in vogue, and the food market, especially niche food, is increasingly sought after and coveted by customers.
Thirty years ago, I had the same dreams as you. I was tired of my job as an employee. I was looking for something that would give me the freedom and entrepreneurship I had always dreamed of.
After several searches, recommendations from friends of friends, and attending many street food festivals across America, I started my own business, which has brought me tremendous personal and financial satisfaction.

At the end of 2020, I sold my business, crowning my well-deserved retirement.
In the first half of 2021, I dedicated myself to writing this book, creating the complete guide to the food truck business that I wish I had received when I left. I helped my son start his company a few months ago, so I've combined my experience with the current needs.

After this period of isolation, people are even more eager to get out and eat outside. So I want to provide you with a step-by-step guide to meet their needs by creating a highly profitable and customer-recommended ecosystem.

 

You'll learn all about my experience, from A to Z, both personal and gained from friends who now have some of the largest food truck empires in the world:

• The basic requirements to start the business,
• Business plan and buyer persona analysis, to avoid the most common mistakes that have led to many failures I've seen along the way
• Parameters for the initial investment and the choice of the most suitable food truck for your needs

Learn from the experience and mistakes of those who have already traveled this road and become the next success story!

Introduction

Since the early days of humans, food has always been the major source of human energy; hence food can not be separated from human history. The early humans fought and struggled for food, which led to migration from one place to another, wars, and high survival instincts. As the centuries pass, humans started to cultivate the land for farming and rearing of animals to make life easier and don’t have to travel distance for a single meal. Eventually, the business aspect came in, people started exchanging one food for another or other goods. Over time, humans have been devising and innovating sources of food, which has increased exponentially and continued to change over time. While early humans had to go far distance to find their daily meals, nowadays, we are surrounded by several promotions and advertisements for food products of different types, prices, and qualities. This led to the birth of the enormous food industry we have presently.

The food industry has always been a complex and global network that consists of diverse businesses. Most of the food consumed by humans has been supplied by the food industry, and this industry covers a series of production processes:

Preparation and Production,

Processing and Distribution,

Transport and Preservation,

Certification, Assembling, and Packaging of foodstuffs.

The industry has become wide and broad as the manufacturing ranges from a small business (usually family business) to a large business (usually capital-intensive and highly mechanized industrial processes).

The industry discussed in this book will be focused on the Food Truck Industry, which has proven to be the future of the food industry.

1  The Food Truck is Future of the Food Industry

The food truck is a familiar sight to many if one sees them, perhaps on the street, with a throng of people queuing or through the television with the aim to sell as much of their goods as possible. With the crowds and exposure that a food truck owner gets, it is entirely possible for your thought process to make the connection from Food Trucks are Nice to I want to have a food truck. If you fall under the latter category, then perhaps, it is time for a little dose of reality. On the outside, it may seem like the owner of a food truck has it easy by driving around your town, being able to sell food to hungry crowds, and make easy money off it. This is the culmination of several months or perhaps years of planning that led to that very moment of the epiphany of your desire to want to have a food truck.

As a food truck owner, there are numerous responsibilities that you must handle. There is the need to finance your food truck concept, then search for the perfect truck for your needs and the adjustments needed to reflect your idea. Then there is the search for your ingredient sources, the right staff to handle your food items, and, more importantly, develop ways to make your food truck a sustainable and profitable business.

This chapter is meant to ease you into the world of the food truck industry and make you part of the industry that became a revolution on how one gets their food and how getting delicious food to customers can be easy as parking in the right spot.

What is a Food Truck?

There is no specific definition for a food truck because it is a matter of opinion, even if you try the search engine. It can generally be assumed that a food truck is presumably a truck or any vehicle that has the capacity for preparing and selling a particular type of food in a locale. While this may be true, one can be aware that there are several types of trucks and vehicles to choose from, and one may think that this is an oversimplified definition of what a food truck truly is.  However, the impact that food truck has had on the food industry cannot be denied.

How the Food Truck Revolutionized the Food Industry

How did the food truck evolve into a burgeoning industry that rakes in approximately $650 million dollars a year? More importantly, how did food truck businesses become the fastest growing sector of the restaurant industry? It all starts with the idea of street food. One is familiar with the food truck that looks like a motorized truck that comes in highly decorated hues to be more representative of the owner’s theme, or maybe in a chrome finish for a more space-age look. While this is the modern food truck, the food truck concept has been around since the 17th century, where street food became
