Day in a life of a chef | Food Truck | Restaurant | 16 Hour Days | What it really takes to succeed |

Chef David shows you his 16 hour day feeding 500 people with the food truck also the brick and mortar. This is the real deal if you want to see how a chefs day goes by. Behind the scenes if you will.

Holy crap man that's awesome! Tell that soux chef she's the heart and soul of the operation! Really like the insight into the food truck stuff and the time it takes. Much appreciated.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Thanks!!! I am glad you enjoyed it! I will tell her that’s for sure! Thanks for the support!!

[@mfd440]

truck looks awesome!

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Thanks!!

[@donscott6431]

So, so, so, SO much to consider in this business, starting w/menu and necessary equipment (just on the TRUCK!) Having the truck be an extension of a pre-existing brick n mortar has gotta be an advantage. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of that perspective.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully this helps someone.

I'm trying to start up a food trailer business and I'm struggling to get started. Coming across this video was a blessing in disguise to me. Thank you for this great insight of what I hope will be my future! Please keep them coming

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

You can ask me anything you want, I will help you.

[@jresto973]

I’m currently looking into this. Can I pick your brain for some questions?

[@gilsoto22]

I have a hotdog food trailer and I enjoy this life. Busy and hectic but rewarding. Great video. Soux chef needs a raise.

[@BoldRuffy]

Aspiring chef. Thank you for the effort to educate

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Thank you! Go get your dreams

[@kareeseboone6011]

[@ryanvarner2338]

@COOK LIKE A PRO lmao!!!! I enjoyed the video. I hope you and your employees are busy as ever, it's been a hell of a ride the past few years.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

@@ryanvarner2338 Thanks! Yes, we have taken a beating and it’s been real tough lately. I appreciate the support and she is one hell of a sous chef lol

[@jasonauric]

Unsolicited suggestion: If you wrap your electric cables "over / under" then you should be able to just toss it and there should not be any kinks, tying up in bunches. Takes seconds to toss a cable and plug it in for power. I hope this helps. Yes, it takes a bit of practice.

[@rocketsauce5067]

Do what they do in recording studios with the cable, It's called over under method and you can just throw it out.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Yes

[@diecastmodelhub]

I am in the process of building out a pizza trailer :)

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Great! Have fun!!!

[@jbf813]

Buy a cord reel 🤷 if not it helps to not loop long cords in small loops

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Yes

[@smokeye9765]

Did I miss where the guy prepared food and served customers from the food truck?

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

No, it wasn’t about that

[@MonarchMetal]

lets get another day in a life video!

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Ok, soon

[@tommygun7299]

I have two words for you uploader.. Go Pro

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

I knew

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

I need one

[@kept2839]

Where did you get your truck from? And how did you customize it? My husband and I are doing a food truck once we have enough money to get the basic things we need. We're just gonna do a food stand. Untill we can get a truck.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Look on Facebook marketplace, you can find them for 30-50k you may have to put some work into them.

[@catheyclarke2132]

Why don't you get a roll extension Just wind up and go x

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Good idea

[@SlowMomentum]

Buy a cord reel. Hello.....

[@rodjava]

I stopped watching after you started complaining about the tangled cord. It was ok when you pulled it out of the truck and you screwed up un-winding by throwing it on the ground which in a tangled mess. Next time unwind it while it's still in a group and take one one and unwind it slowly.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

You shouldn’t stop watching

[@erikocampo7998]

Are you ok instagram?

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Yes

[@ChristopherOutdoors]

You need to treat your employees better. You are the one that messed the cord up by throwing it around.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

She is my friend and sous chef. It was a joke, don’t take life so serious.

[@bismakhan3815]

How much was your gross in your first month of Buisness ? And average customers in a day ?

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

$3000-$5000

[@bismakhan3815]

@@DAVIDJALVAREZ how many customers each day first month ? And how many hours of serving ? Will appreciate your info sir

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

@@bismakhan3815 The goal is about 50-100 a day. I would get around 30 a day. Then I got into baseball parks and that helped even more. Get into events where there are guarantees. If you do one spot it will take a year that they know you are committed

[@bismakhan3815]

@@DAVIDJALVAREZ so you rent out a location or you park at your own anywhere ? , cuz I am planing to park at a rented space at a gas station

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

@@bismakhan3815 so at this time we had a restaurant and we parked it at a storage place. A lot cheaper. You will have to have a commissary for the health department

[@adelax.8569]

She’s so rude👎🏻

[@blackriverjerk7789]

Have to speak to people better than that. Be thankful you have paid employees. This is how we do it in America??? Can’t watch this. Sorry

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

It was a joke relax

[@Localtruthspeaker]

That extension cord was rolled nicely until you threw it down. Then you disrespect your employee on KZbin. I’ve seen enough.

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

It was a joke bro, take a chill pill.
