Wow. An information-heavy crash course into starting a successful food truck.
This book is one of the most comprehensive books I've read on any niche business like this before, and it really lays out the groundwork for having the proper resources and mentality to be a successful business owner. When it comes to opening a food truck, you might get the idea that it's an easy task because you see a lot of people doing it, but the truth is, when it comes to food, there is more failure than success. This book gives you a realistic look on what to expect when starting your food truck.

Awesome book
Extremely easy read that anyone can follow. Great examples of what to expect and what to do if this type of business interests you. I’ve been in restaurants for 25 years and a thing or two in this book was st acted in a way it “clicked’ in my brain and I got it.

comprehensive look at a niche business
So many of us think it might be fun to open a bed and breakfast or start our own food truck without much of an idea about everything that goes into it. Good food alone will not make a food truck successful. This is a very handy read that hits all the key things you need to know before starting your mobile restaurant - marketing and promotion, design and, most importantly, how to set margins and turn a consistent profit. Super informative and eye opening if you're thinking about your own startup...
