2 Hires That Successful Food Truck Owners Should Make

  • A Social Media/Digital Marketing Expert
  • A Manager

A Social Media/Digital Marketing Expert: If you want to reach people/gain new customers, then you need to incorporate social media, and some form of digital marketing expert, which is why you should hire a social media/digital marketing expert.

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. This expert could already be on your team, or it might end up being an outside hire. Nonetheless, if another hire is in your budget … this hire will take your business to the next level.

A Manager: A manager? Why would a food truck owner need a manager? For a couple of different reasons.

If you hire a manger, then this person could start running the daily operations, which will take a ton of stress off of you. Not to mention, you can start looking at the big-ticket portions of the business, such as expansion. Who knows, you might be hiring a few managers in the near future if you are wanting to open up multiple food trucks.
