Food trucks are the hottest new gourmet and foodie obsession, and many of those with a talent for cooking are dreaming about their own mobile kitchens. The idea of preparing fast, good, highly sought after delights is an intoxicating idea. If you are considering investing in your own food cart or truck, here are some things to consider to ensure your success.
First, you will need to look into local food safety laws. Some areas do not permit any cooking to be done inside mobile kitchens. In these areas, you will need to either rent commissary space from a permitted facility or find a commercial kitchen that you can use for prep work. You will also need to research what sort of permits or licenses will be required by your city, county and/or state. The board of health or your city's permit offices can tell you what is required.
Next, make a general plan of what sorts of foods you would like to sell. There are a number of forums and blogs about local lunch truck delicacies. These are a good place to research what foods are in demand in your area. Do you plan to sell cold Sandwiches?Burritos or other hot lunch foods? Having a general idea of the foods you would like to offer will help you narrow down the mobile kitchens that best suit your specific needs. That way, you can shop for existing mobile kitchens, or have one built for you that has the features you will require without having to pay for things that you will not use.
One you have settled on what your general requirements will be for a mobile kitchen, you will need to research practical concerns for that sort of vehicle. Find out whether your local zoning regulations will allow you to park the truck at home, or whether you will need to rent storage space for your mobile kitchen. You will also need to research what sort of insurance is required. Commercial vehicles require different insurance from what is needed for personal use vehicles, and you may need additional insurance to sell food. If your truck is large enough, you may need to have a commercial license to drive it.
Planning for all of these factors can make all the difference in the success of your food truck venture.
