For starters, you can be quirky in some fashion, you can create a food truck tailored around dogs (trust us, it exists!), you can offer up food that isn&#8217;t typically served in this industry and you can simply be your unique self, and let your identity, if you will, shine on your food truck brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Build a food truck business in your image, with your ideas. That&#8217;s how you achieve the feat that is building a unique brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Incorporate Unique Recipes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a unique menu, then you can start by incorporating unique recipes. You are the chef here, so this step is 100 percent up to you. Of course, you likely have some delicious family recipes up your sleeve, and you should bring them into play if you want to create a unique menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"http:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC04951-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"Menu\" class=\"wp-image-8637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC04951-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC04951-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC04951-98x55.jpeg 98w, https:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC04951.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC04951-680x383.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC04951-200x113.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>A Twist On Basic Food Items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What do we mean by this? Simple. Literally add your own twist to basic food items. For example, add lobster to macaroni and cheese, bacon to ice cream, cucumbers to water, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, those cards have already been played out a time or two, so it is up to you to come up with your own twists! Nonetheless, this step will help you achieve the goal that is creating a unique menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Get Psychological With The Menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create your menu in a way that is going to attract your customers psychologically. For example, make your specials\/house favorites stand out. You can do this by bolding these items, or making them different than other items in some fashion. You can also add pictures of items that you know your customers will love, or items you really want to push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do your research when it comes to making your food truck menu, and don&#8217;t be afraid to get a little psychological with this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.customconcessions.com\/how-food-truck-owners-can-keep-their-sanity-in-the-mobile-kitchen-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">How Food Truck Owners Can Keep Their Sanity In The Mobile Kitchen Industry.

Ask them what they would like to see at your food truck, and then add some version of the meal\/food item they are calling for. Of course, you don&#8217;t want to only incorporate meals that your food truck customers want to see &#8212; because this is your business, and you are the owner and chef &#8212; but it&#8217;s okay, and rather unique, to give your customers what they want in some form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tailor your meals around your customers &#8212; that&#8217;s certainly one way to make your mobile kitchen menu stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Looking for more ways to spice up the menu\/attract more customers?
