Have a local restaurant that has very inconsistent hours. We tried to go there to try it a couple times but they were always closed. Then we stopped trying. Food trucks are even harder because they are even harder to track down for non-tech savy customers. Having consistency for where you will be and when really helps some customers find you. If you aren't there when customers expect you to be they may stop coming.

Vvvvvvvcvvvvvb hWhat is that?

[@dogsalwaysbarkatbetamaleswoof]

Disagreed. I have returning customers who follow our trucks since we are a roaming food truck. Events are posted at least a week in advance with preorders being set in advance. We even have the delivery platforms pick up from our truck. It depends on how you run your business.

[@landsraad9745]

My idea for a roaming food truck is to be very present on social media like Twitter to let people know where we are. Also, have a Google tracker on the vehicle made available to the public. So when they Google the truck itll show up on maps

[@jadebear0717]

@@landsraad9745 that’s a good idea! Unless you keep your car parked at home during after hours then the whole world will know where you live lol

[@davidlopez-rl4sh]

I been doing it all by myself for 13 years and I never been burned out and I don't rely on social media either it helps but it doesn't help when I travel alot cause they aren't going to go as far as I go. It's pretty irrelevant when your followers won't follow you around then social media is a waste

[@cristiancaggia8337]

100 % agree.

[@mikethemechanic7395]

My wife’s family owns Thai food carts. The number one thing that will shut you down is not opening on time and inconstant hours. You have to realize not everyone can go to your food cart Monday to Friday. In Portland for example. A lot of people live outside of Portland and can only visit on the weekends. Saturday most carts are open. Sunday it’s the worse. I gave up on getting my heart set on a food cart. 8 times out of 10 they are closed and have no signs up.

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.

The food business is tough. If you have no experience it is better not to start. You will lose money very quickly. Rent and equipment is huge.

[@yoshi9538]

My mom always says people eat with their eyes first, I have seen firsthand in East LA, taco stands survive because the big difference between taco trucks and taco stands is the visibility of meat being cooked. Thats the only thing people want, is to see how and what is being cooked, the smell is second, when that warm cooked air wafts over you of simmered shredded beef with the strongest beef scent your nostrils ever inhaled. Your stomach rumbles then you order 5 instead of 3 you were gonna order. I remember always Hank and the Guys grilling meat outside that cult house and ALL the girls were lulled at the gates lmao

[@GM-gj8hs]

This is good info. It’s true and I say the same thing . Everyone has food but what makes yours different. Oh and who the hell is Hank and the guys

[@brianvogelsong754]

I don’t think food trucks do fail, but I do think restaurants failed

[@TheArchersTungsten]

I’ll give a positive/negative tip so many people start food trucks and food businesses that don’t know what their doing and the work involved and in a state like Florida there’s hundreds of used trucks and equipment for sale . You would be crazy to buy new .

[@zerofootprints7807]

Or pay for what they lost on the used one😉

As someone who has had 4 failed food trucks I will say you got to love what you’re doing, I hate cooking and I understand you must love it. I’m now trying a hotdog truck because you only have to heat up the food and not cook it.

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

@@noahsathletics Awesome, I wish you all the best luck.Hot dog food trucks are also one of the most profitable because it's low on overhead.You don't have to have a ton of variety of ingredients and you don't need a lot of staff or employees to run it?And it's very fast , so you can turn over the food quicker

What kind of sandwiches? Cold deli, hot, highlighted items?

[@justinjablonski992]

@@fatmayo2293 I'm looking towards cold deli sandwiches. While there's chain places like Mcalister's and Jason's. I haven't seen a deli style sandwich place in my area. I want to change that.

[@fatmayo2293]

@@justinjablonski992 Very interesting. I have been planning something similar. I want to open the first and what would currently be the only deli, in a ritzy town of about 4,000 people. My area will be the type of highlighted local items only, just how it is there. A good profit though because where theirs money spent, it's money made.
