If you are starting up a food truck business and don\u2019t exactly know what you are getting yourself into, don\u2019t panic and pull all your hair out just yet \u2014 because here are five things every future food truck owner needs to know. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heck, even if you have done the food trucking thing for years and could use a nice cold glass of refresher (that\u2019s not really a drink), feel free to follow along and take notes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Branding And Social Media \u2014 Learn How To Do Both Very Well<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your brand, or better yet, your food truck\u2019s brand, is arguably one of the most important things. What does your food truck stand for? What do you want it to be known for? The logo, scheme of the truck and all of its appearances in general are crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, if you saw your truck parked, would you go over and eat at it? If the answer is yes, then you are on the right track.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media comes into play because you can help build your brand on social media. You can also promote your food truck business on social media. After that, you can promote your food truck business some more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, winning the hearts of fans on social media is the key nowadays \u2014 because who doesn\u2019t have a Facebook that they don\u2019t check all of the time?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. You\u2019re Not Just Serving Food<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You are also running a business<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although many chefs will take the food truck route so they can do what they love \u2014 which is cook \u2014 said chefs also have to keep in mind that there\u2019s more to a food truck business than just cooking. Of course, if you can cook, you have the art down \u2014 and that is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Permits And Regulations<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Know them, you don\u2019t have to love them \u2026 but know them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Just Remember, Being Unique Is A Good Thing<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

America tends to love hamburgers and hot dogs, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to go with those two traditional recipes. Sure, people in Chicago love their Chicago Dogs, and fish tacos in Los Angeles (or anywhere for that matter) are to die for, but serve what you want to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your favorite recipe is out there, but you know it will make tastebuds all over the world happy, then do your thing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, don\u2019t be afraid to spice up your brand. Most importantly, don\u2019t be afraid to be yourself and let yourself show through your brand and food truck business in general.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. A Good Business Plan Will Save Your Life, And Your Business<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you do anything right, make sure you do this: Make. A. Good. Business. Plan. Because with a solid business plan, no problem will seem too overwhelming, no task too large.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You really, really need to know what you are getting yourself into and how much EVERYTHING will cost before crushing your new food truck business. So do yourself a favor and make the best business plan there ever was.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, cook on, and cook well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
