After moving to Tennessee, Jada and Nic Jones had a hard time finding wholesome, organic food options-so they decided to solve that problem by starting a food truck business. A year later, Hen House is one of the best food trucks in the Nashville area, bringing in an average revenue of around $30,000 a month.
A food truck business was a natural choice for Jada and Nic. Jada’s background is in wellness and nutrition, while Nic has more than 20 years of experience in the food industry. They’ll share how that prior food business experience helped them grow their business, and what things they still had to learn along the way.
Starting a food truck usually costs less than opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant, but access to capital is still a common issue for founders. Jada and Nic share how they secured financing for building a food truck, along with food truck ideas to maximize revenue.
A well-crafted food truck business plan is crucial for someone starting their business on a budget. Jada and Nic explain how they planned in advance for Hen House’s launch so they could hit the ground running. We’ll also hear about their food truck design and what the steps were to go from idea to open for business.
If you’re wondering how to start a food truck business that’s built for success, this is an interview you’ll want to watch! And make sure to check out some of our past interviews with food truck and food cart business owners:

Best advice is get a 40k truck and save your money. They massively overpaid for this truck for a start up. It looks amazing. But if the food is good you will take the same sales in a 40k truck

It was expensive, but once you upgrade that $40,000 truck you talk about to get it where this truck is with inside specialized equipment and refrigeration, not to mention the engine, tires, etc., you have just added thousands and would then still own an old modified truck. They decided to go with a new truck and not have to worry about down time and the unreliability of owning an old truck. Just like buying a new car vs an old one. I see their point.

@@mariamathewson4522 you can get an old truck for 8k and easily fix it up and kit it out for 32k. My advice is for newbies. Don’t debt yourself up without a proven concept. Like I said it can be as new and shiny as they like but a hell hole truck can take the same amount and many do. I think get a truck up and running it doesn’t take a lot to do. I’m halfway through mine and I’m less than 10k into it and everything is new. Walls, floors, ceilings. Require, plumbed. Just needs a paint job which I’m going to do myself and the kitchen fitted out which will be about 8k. In total $18k and I’ll have a new unit. 100k + is madness and profit down the drain

@@mariamathewson4522 they wouldn’t get their money back for it. It would depreciate 70k the moment you drive it off the lot. And my advice to newbies is to convert a trailer. It would look just as amazing with less risk. No point of having all the gear and no idea. Better to get up and running by buying someone else’s trailer/van. Spend a few grand adapting it to your needs and away you go. No one should blow 170k on a food truck if they are new to the business it’s the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard. Prove you can run one first by entering the market with a unit with less risk. If your turnover is 350k a year then by all means do a tax write off for a new unit. But to jump in feet first without a proven concept is foolish at best. There are 1000s of these vans and trailers up for sale due to people buying them thinking it’s easy money or they will make more than they do. When reality hits home it’s very hard work and securing events or a pitch is difficult they soon fall out of love with them hence why there are loads for sale.

I think it’s refreshing to see an interview that talks about the truth of a start up company. The first year is always the hardest, and this couple shared all the lessons they have learned along the way. They didn’t let it change the quality of their food. They stayed committed to providing healthy food. They adjusted where they take their truck and how they incorporated private functions in their business. There is a lot of great information here if people don’t just look at the bottom line dollars. Also, they started at the very end of the summer/beginning of fall, so it hasn’t even been a full year. If summer events and sales had been included for last summer or 2023 summer, the numbers would be much different. They stated weather is a big factor.

They really haven’t been up and running even a year yet. Plus, when they started, they immediately hit bad weather. It’s not like having a truck in sunny Southern California, or Florida.

$300,000 in revenue per year. A 20% profit. That is $60,000 in profit. $30,000 for each owner. They had to go into debt and work 50+ hours a week each. Unless they can 2-3x the revenue and keep the same profit margins. Working at a regular job is better. You can get paid a lot more as a chef, not have to go into so much debt, work a lot less, have less stress. How much can you scale a food truck? *I am assuming the labor cost does not include their own labor/salary and their loan repayment is included in the overhead costs.

Most food trucks that fail are ran by chefs..... The most profitable trucks I know(and we run one) are not foodies, they are business people first and are not restrained by lofty ideas of the food but rather the day to day business of making money. Serve a good product fast and at events with the odds stacked in your favor all while controlling all costs. There are Chef run trucks that make it big, but it's not the norm. These two should be taking home at least double what there are.... Direct costs are too high.

Inspiring story and great video. I wish them even more successful in a few years. It is conceivable to scale up with one truck to a million per year in three to four years, while acknowledging that going beyond one million per year per truck would be rare, or difficult to sustain. By then, profit margin will improve but not by much because food and labor will also increase proportionately, from currently 20% to maybe 30%, netting $300k per year. It then may make more sense to sell the food truck and the associated brand, taking home half a million or so, and use the new equity to open a real restaurant. It will be a big win to start with ~$50k to become a presumably high-end restaurant owner in about 5 years!

My deal is fear ... I hate to say it but.... I fear failure, fear my business skills will fail. I can cook like nobodies business, imo better than 95% of restaurants in Houston area, I just fear spending money and time for it to fail... It's sad and I'm not proud of that

Despite the absence of a traditional restaurant experience, many food truck enthusiasts believe that the unique and diverse offerings, convenience, and often higher quality of food make the experience worthwhile. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and budget when deciding whether to dine at a food truck or a restaurant.

I am thinking about a new type of restaurants: eating-spots in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate this is opposed to current restaurants, thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are more powerful than restaurants, along with that, there is an app, people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app.

I just started a food trailer out in Ridgeland SC and I custom bought my trailer from a company out in Nashville 16ft. I spent 30k for everything and was def worth it. It's called Munchie KEES. I've also didn't much KZbin videos on this but you guys which is UpFlip. I even shared certain careers to people so think can just go after it. the money is out here and hopefully one day I can get on this channel. I'm not even close and still learning everyday what to grow on to make things function more fluid. PLEASE UPLOAD MORE FOOD TRUCK OWNERS I LIKE TO HEAR MORE PEOPLES STORIES.

So you invited these people on your show who quit their careers to only have $30,000 salaries each? Lol, I make the same revenue and am left with $140,000 after expenses. These people are teaching people to go into debt on mediocre businesses.

Definitely over spent on the food truck .20% profit equal $80,000 that $40,000 each Return is low considering the risk.Didnt even seem to acknowledge their workers probably pay $8 an hour.The wife probably leave if someone comes along with more money.

if youre smart youd keep the cash but only put half. how you think business owners be saving on them taxes. report all credit card orders at festivals and report only half the cash. i use to work for a guy who use to do this and was banking at festivals! and I've talked to other business owners that tell me they don't report all the cash just some lol think of barbers in the barbershop they aren't reporting all the cash bro. you got to be smart but move correctly @@Hardstyler981
