5 THINGS TO KNOW

From ice cream and sandwich carts to burger and burrito wagons, cities all over the United States are home to thousands of food truck businesses ready to serve up the flavorful fare to hungry customers. In fact, the food truck is a staple of American culture, with pizza trucks in New York City being veritable tourist attractions.

If you’re considering starting up your own food truck business and joining the rich tapestry of American mobile food ventures, The Plan Writers offers you these five tips to help you get the most out of your food truck business plan.

Competition is Fierce

Food Truck Industry Has Its Share of Obstacles

The food truck industry is peppered with regulatory hurdles. Acquiring the proper licensing and permits can be a monumental task and not every city or neighborhood allows food trucks. When cities sharpen their restrictions on food trucks, it can greatly affect the industry. In 1991, for instance, Chicago reintroduced a city ordinance that made it illegal for food carts and trucks to operate within 200 feet of a restaurant, shaking up the entire mobile food industry. Moreover, finding prime parking – a spot where you can stay parked legally for hours that also happens to be on a street that receives lots of foot traffic – can be near impossible on some days.

4-4

Go Beyond Health
and Safety Standards

5-1

One factor that keeps diners away from food trucks is concerns about cleanliness. Of course, mice droppings, bug infestations, improper handling of food can be (and is) found at restaurants as well. But food trucks seem to have a worse perception among the public when it comes to hygiene. Whether it’s deserved or not, your food preparation procedures may be scrutinized more closely than those of the pizza joint across the street. Fight the food truck stigma by going above and beyond the health and safety standards that are required of you by law.
