Genuine question to food truck owners
I say this being a has been food truck worker and lover, looking for them to buy and enjoy many of my meals but now, completely swearing them off.
Why do you price your food at restaurant pricing? I used to LOVE food trucks, wonderful food for almost half of a restaurant, which probably made it taste even better. You do not have near as much overhead, for example 10-12 thousand dollars a month in rent, pay bussers, cooks, staff, overhead, etc. I could see how this would be a great job and business adventure. I know you still do have overhead; it is just a small fraction of restaurants. You can pass that savings onto your customers, and your lines would be WAAAAY longer. You would have to hustle, but a rewarding hustle.
Im so baffled that you have no restrooms, no wait staff, no place to even sit down yet it is almost $20 for a burger or slice of pizza and you also expect a tip?
why?
