  • Starting a food truck isn’t hard. It’s actually Very simple if you know what to do. The thing is you don’t know what you don’t know.
    These are the steps I used to Start my Food Truck Business and how you can do the same.

    Step 1. Perfect your recipes.
    Step 2. Perfect for customer service.
    Step 3. Perfect your processes.
    Step 4. Fix & build your credit.
    Step 5. Fundraise the 20% needed for a small business loan from friends & family.
    Step 6. Start selling a small menu from the commercial kitchen to build a following.

    Good vid. Steps are a little out of line for me anyway. Close to the top of list I would go to local health department and get info from them very early. They will tell you what you can and can't do as well as what your trailer/truck HAS to have in it to pass inspection.

      Agreed.
      I’m in the learning process right now, about to incorporate and get my EIN. I plan on sending a schematic of my cart setup to my health inspection department for approval before I get the cart. I want to get the bureaucratic BS out of the way before I spend one dollar on a cart or a commissary.

    But dude you gotta lower the music down. It sounds like you were trying to talk over him, and he was rapping over you very loudly. Few parts i had to rewind 3 times just to clarify you said church.
    Second, if you're gonna play music use very low music with no words: lofi hip hop, or instrumental rap/drill, so people can hear you and only *you* clearly.

    Great outline. I’m in the process of starting out on the lowdown with a hotdog cart before I go expensive with a full on food truck. I plan on letting the cart pay for the food truck. I would just amend one thing in your outline. I plan on sending a schematic of my cart to my health inspector before I buy it. Get the bureaucratic BS out of the way before I start spending any serious money.

  • @Justthegoodstuff-gh2xx
    @Justthegoodstuff-gh2xx Год назад +1

    Step 12 should be higher up the list, as is how much if will cost to pitch there (if anything), will you get the right/right amount of customers there...
    Generally do a decent amount of market research...
    Who is your customer?
    What are their likes dislikes, what do they aspire too, dietary needs/wants, where do they currently eat, where do they work? What spare cash do they have snd how much are they willing to spend/how often etc?
    Also what are the overheads of running the truck, buying the ingredients and cooking them going to be. Then work out if the final product will be at a price your customer will buy it at, and will you be able to access enough customers to sustain your business and make a decent profit.
    Think outside the box, for instance maybe you can cater primarily for a large office or factory and give them a lower charge for use of their premises. Dont be afraid to reach out to make enquiries, and ask questions to gauge whether people would want your product or find out whats important to them that may shape your product differently.
    If you haven't worked out your personal outgoings and what the minimum profit you need to be making in that regard is, you also need to do that.
    Then, figure if you have start-up costs and can cope with a few years of not making a profit/breaking even if the curve is likely to be slow. To speed it up, you can think of ways to boost numbers such as advertising, but it all needs to be figured into the numbers.
    Basically, work out if the business is viable as early in the process as possible.

      Another hood tip is to talk to a few similar businesses in otger areas that fit a similar nieche to ask for advice. As long as you are friendly and make it clear you are in a different area aka not a potential competitor most people will happily have a conversation with you, they could gove you a tip that could make all the difference
