5 Things Food Truck Owners Should Focus On In 2018

5.) First And Foremost, Their Food Trucks

You, of course, need to focus on your food truck. This is your business. Your livelihood. Your baby. You’ve sunk a lot of money into this venture, and not only that … but it is your dream job. So you, more likely than not, know you need to focus on your food truck, but the point of this step is to not get complacent by going through the motions.

If you really want to see some success at your food truck, then you will become a goal-oriented person, and all of these goals (at least many of them) will revolve around your food truck. What are you doing right now to make your food truck business money? Always ask yourself that in 2018.

4.) The Numbers

What do we mean by the numbers? Simple. Your sales. Your inventory. How much money you have in the bank. How much you can afford to pay employees. How much you can afford to pay yourself. How much you can charge for food items. How much you should charge at catering gigs.

The more you know about your numbers, the more you will know about the status of your food truck.

3.) The Happiness Of Their Employees, And Themselves

Food truck owners need to worry about the happiness of their employees … and themselves. This is your dream job, and don’t you think you should do everything in your power to make the people involved in your dream job happy?

While not every employee is going to share the same passions and dreams as you, you can still make your food truck environment fun in hopes of keeping morale up.

And, of course, you need to keep your mind, body and soul happy if you are going to be a food truck owner for the long haul. Take more walks in 2018. Learn how to handle your stress. Don’t just keep everything inside. Figure out solutions to your problems and your food truck’s problems. Give this life everything you’ve got, and try to be the happiest — and most successful — version of yourself.

2.) One Major Goal

You can have as many goals as you would like, but we think you should definitely have one major goal for 2018. If this goal happened, it would, ideally, change your life in a big way. What type of goal would do that for you? What goal is going to take you, your business, your happiness, your success, etc., to the next level?

The cool part is you can form a bunch of smaller goals around this one big goal. Figure out something major you want to achieve. For example, it could be opening up a second food truck, or opening your first food truck if you are an aspiring mobile kitchen owner.

1.) Friends, Family And Their Own Sanity

If you want to be the person you were meant to be, and if you also want to be the happiest version of yourself, then you need to have a balanced life. For example, you can’t simply work your life away, and you also can’t spend all of your time having fun/not making goals come true. You need to find a happy medium, and part of that should deal with you focusing on your relationships and yourself.

We understand how busy food truck owners can be, but even a five-minute phone call to a loved one can benefit you and this loved one. It’s not always easy to keep your sanity in this industry when you are putting in double-digit hours six to seven days a week, but you still need to find time for your friends and family, because that will not only help you keep your own sanity but it will also help you achieve the feat that is having a well-rounded life.

There are plenty of things to focus on, but food truck owners should consider the five things above throughout 2018.
