Not only that, but thanks to social media, marketing your truck won’t cost a fortune.

10.) How to Run a Food Truck 25: Set Up a Catering Business

Preview:

We recommend taking a similar approach to the research you did back then by starting out with local government offices like your city’s Small Business Administration, Health Department, and Chamber of Commerce. You should also contact your local food truck associations, as many of these organizations will also provide information on catering services for food truck owners (or will have experienced members who can help you along the way). You can also see if your city has a local chapter of caterers who may be able to provide you with resources on getting started or recommend some business options for you to consider.

When you first entered this industry, you might have thought the only skills you needed revolved around cooking, making menus and serving customers, but that is just the beginning. You are a business owner, so you have to take on owner-like responsibilities and make owner-like investments. Nowadays, that includes social media/digital marketing, bringing on the right talent for your team, being an all-star boss and the list of must-have qualities goes on and on.

This person will, ideally, take over your social media and marketing efforts. Not only will your business be able to keep your fans and followers engaged in the process, but these efforts will lead to more people coming to your food truck.

You may make most of your money serving the downtown lunch rush on the daily, but there are few better ways to bring in a quick pile of cash than by serving at an event or festival. However, events require advance planning—oftentimes months ahead of time. You can’t simply show up and park on a weekend when the rest of your schedule is looking a little sparse. Instead, you’ll need to begin looking for events to serve at as soon as they’re announced (and sometimes even before) and spend time filling out applications, setting aside application fees, and promoting your truck to event organizers.

Just as you wrote a food truck business plan when you were first learning how to start a food truck, you also need to actively continue planning the future of your business once you’re running a food truck. You’ve come so far already—but without setting more goals and finding new things to work on, you’ll quickly find your truck stagnating and failing to evolve. Goals keep you motivated to improve, hold you accountable to yourself and what matters most to you, and keep you more focused on achieving your dreams.

Preview:

Teach: If you run a successful food truck business, then surely you have valuable advice to dish out. Believe it or not, you could charge for this advice in the form of one-on-one coaching.

Nonetheless, if you have great advice to give as a result of conquering this industry over the years, then you can literally teach people what you know for a (reasonable) fee.
