Reasons To Love Food Trucks
Preview:
Why this is great for owners: You don’t have to be stuck in one location. Not to mention, when you own a sit-down restaurant and the location turns out being less than desirable from a foot traffic standpoint (meaning you aren’t attracting as many customers as you thought you would), you can’t just move. The opposite rings true for food truck owners. If you don’t like your location(s) for whatever reason, you can find a different location. Not to mention, you can also go to food truck events, and catering gigs are a breeze in the sense that everything is right there in your food truck. Your business, if you will, stays the same when it comes to cooking and serving food, because your business is mobile.

3 Keys To Food Truck Success In 2018
Preview:
After all, your employees are not mind readers. Not to mention, if you want things to change, then you have to tell your employees about these changes. This one might sound super basic, but there are so many managers in many different fields (yes, even the food truck industry) who are seriously lacking in the communication department. If you are one of those people, then your business could take a hit in the form of things not changing, employees leaving because there is no form of communication from the top and the list could go on and on.
7 Ways To Increase Your Food Truck Sales

Mobile ordering can help loyal customers skip the lines and receive their food faster, which really comes in handy during the busy hours known as lunchtime. Delivery, of course, makes it so your customers don’t have to go to your food truck, but for this type of service, you need to have enough employees to make it happen (among other things). Catering was discussed in great detail above, but just as an added addition, it can make a customer’s life so much easier when the customer in question needs to serve a ton of people for an event … and this person also needs to serve amazing food, which your food truck specializes in.
