Starting a food truck does not have to be difficult.
As the industry leader of gourmet food trucks, Roaming Hunger can help you get the basic facts on starting a food truck and help you avoid some of the most common pitfalls entrepreneurs run into when starting a food truck.
Here is what you need to know
- Create a core concept that will be popular and works for you
- Build a menu based on your concept
- Make a list of the kitchen equipment you need on the truck to support the menu
- Build a food truck that fits your concept exactly, and be creative!
Make, Buy or Rent?
Renting a food truck can be expensive in the long run and you are limited to just one kitchen layout.
Buying a used truck can be difficult for health department compliance, kitchen quality and limitations of layout.
Top quality custom food trucks with a brand new kitchen start at around $60k, and in most cases, multiple financing options are available. This option gives ultimate flexibility over kitchen flow, ticket time management and the overall appearance of your truck.
If you would like us to put you in touch with a food truck builder for an estimate, please use the form below and we will get back to you ASAP.
