Uh, any sort of free wiring inside a little zone like a food truck can be truly risky. Furthermore, obviously, you would prefer not to get your laborers injured. In any case, the greatest thing is having your food truck go up on fire in light of the fact that the electrical is fouled up.

So ensure that your food is taken care of appropriately, not just in your grocery store or your new plug kitchen, however once you welcome that food ready for the food truck, uh, the real last arrangement of the feast for somebody to eat that is the most basic point. You need to ensure that the food is prepared appropriately and completely and dealt with. On the off chance that it's crude, it must be dealt with appropriately before it's cooked. Presently number seven, this is something that isn't talked an immense, a great deal sum, yet it is something that can be somewhat of a, not an irritation, obviously they're just attempting to carry out their responsibility. Be that as it may, if cops or the police are continually having you move from area to area on the grounds that perhaps you don't have the correct licenses or you don't have the, uh, the thumbs up to be in a specific aspect of a city or a County, uh, they can be not really irritating, yet they could just essentially make it hard for you to set up and get yourself going and setting up your food.

So make sure that you are well aware of the parking, uh, where you can and more importantly, where you can't park. So once you get those doors open and you get the food prep and you get it set, you have no issues with parking. Number five, this is something that is a challenge for anyone's business. And I can tell you, even from my own business, when I had an Italian bakery, it was not a food truck at that time. It was not a food truck. It was an Italian bakery. But having the right amount of, of, of materials, uh, anything from like napkins to silverware, cutlery, dishes, uh, cups and drink and whatever it may be, making sure that you've got enough utensils, uh, bags or even, uh, plates for your food, whatever containers you're putting it in. Be sure to basically keep in stock as much as you physically can on your, on your truck to make sure.
Now, the reason why I say that is sometimes you may have a customer that ends up getting several napkins or a few few forks or maybe more forks and knives and they need, uh, maybe a more containers or an additional container for their kids. Now it may sound kind of silly and trivial, but it's not because at the end of the day, if you were set out to do 500 plates and you went through 500 plates of materials and utensils and you're already out, then your future customers that you're going to have for the next couple of hours aren't going to have plates to eat on. So you want to be kind of very, not restrictive, but don't ha you don't want to be handing out more utensils and you brought, and I guess this is what I want to say, be sure to have enough materials.
Now number four, this is something you definitely want to have a my opinion. You want to have a extra safe or some type of safe place. Make sure you have enough change to transact your customers who are paying in cash. Now, nowadays there is quite a few transactions. If not, I would say anywhere from 70 or 80% of the transactions are with cards. So you're not going to need to have a lot of cash on hand, but you need to make sure that you do have enough, uh, smaller bills because a lot of people will come in with tens and twenties making sure you have enough change and such to transact those people who do have cash. Um, that is a big, big, uh, uh, business hinder if you do
not have enough. And that could basically hinder your business from making additional transactions just because you don't have enough cash. And that's kind of,
and lack of a better word, that's silly for you to not have enough money on hand. You need to kind of gauge that and make sure you've got enough for people with cash. Number three, the biggest problem with having a food truck, um, is that it obviously runs off of a, of an engine of course. Um, or having a generator there that is operating some of your, uh, equipment or some of the features on your truck and your generator's not working, functioning right. You want to make sure you put that on your list checklist before you go to an event. You make sure that it's properly working and that you shouldn't have any issues.

 


So a lot of this, these 12 really quick side note of this, this, that I'm telling you about, things that you can basically check before you go to ensure that you're going to be successful at it.
It's not stuff that could be left alone and then just cross your fingers and hopefully it works. Check all of these things. Have yourself a checklist. The checklist are, are, uh, are fantastic to have. They're going to help you and your team, make sure that you're working, uh, at optimum level so you can make as much money as you can at each event. So number two, equipment breaking down. Now it could be anywhere from a fryer to a freezer. It could be anything from a steamer to a a blender. Even if you happen to have a cart that's doing smoothies or something of that sort, making sure the equipment is really working, functioning properly, and is ready to roll for the day. Again, put it on your checklist. Every single piece of equipment is functioning. You're going to have much more success, uh, at each event.
Now this is something you have to do every single time. You have to make sure every event that you go to these things are working properly. So number one, the biggest headache for food truck entrepreneurs is your truck engine. Now the functionality of your engine is the, the brain of your entire operation. Having a piece of equipment, getting to an event, maybe a certain piece of equipment, networking. And you can get by with that. That's one thing. Okay? The engine of your truck, you need to make sure that you're constantly on top of everything and the fluids are topped off. Your oil changes are fine, your engine itself has checks. I would definitely recommend because of the amount of stress put on it, because of how big it is that you do every three to four months, you've got to go into the shop just to make sure it's functioning properly.
And the reason why I say this is number one because it's also something that's going to be costly if you're going to factor into your food truck, the cost to operate it. Keep in mind that that engine is paramount. Having an engine working properly every single time you go to an event is of the utmost importance. Okay? So having that factored into the cost of what you're doing on a, on a maybe quarterly basis, every three months or four months, making sure you have money set aside to have it checked and it's operating right is going to be really a great investment for you. And of course you can write that off as a business expense of course. Read Eugenia Lebedynska's answer to How profitable are food trucks? on Quora

So number one is the engine. So those are the 12 most important things you really need to be aware of that could potentially put your food truck out of business and you want to make sure that those things are followed through with and they're being checked on and you've got checklists and everything else that you would need to make sure it works right. So you have a successful food truck. So if that was helpful, as always, please do give me a big thumbs up.
