How many items should you have on your food truck menu? There's not an exact methodology behind doing this, but some of these tips back here may help you understand why you should have a minimal amount and what you should actually have.

When you're doing a food truck event, you've got people lined up. They're gonna wanna wait only a couple of minutes, get their food in their hand and be on their way.

That's gonna be a big problem because of the amount of space that you have available. Take into consideration. How long does it take to make the product next up margin and the most profitable? One of them is how versatile are your ingredients?

Next one up is stick with one niche. Now there's a lot of food trucks. You can appeal to a wide variety of people and you can make an enormous amount of tacos, soft tacos, burritos, whatever it may be, but in line with that type of niche of product. You don't have to have 50 or 60 different ingredients, you can do it with 10 or 12 different ingredients. That is fantastic because you'll be able to push through ingredients, every single event that you go to and it will be consistent.

How fast you keep customers in and out of your food truck is the profit key to the profitability, understand that the quicker and faster you can produce these products, the better off you are financially. You're going to make more money, the key to any food truck event or any mobile event for that matter. The average food truck menu consists of between five to 10 items.
