Operating a food truck year round can lead to breakdowns and some other issues, especially during the winter season. Here are some common issues that food truck owners face and how to solve them:
- Malfunctioning Equipment: The cold can be absolutely brutal to your food truck equipment. To prevent your equipment from malfunctioning, you should try to keep your batteries warm by using isolated covers and conduct routine maintenance on all your equipment.
- Condensation and Ventilation Issues: Cold weather and excessive use of heaters can lead to a build up of condensation inside the truck creating damp surfaces. You can prevent this from happening by using dehumidifiers and wiping down counters regularly to eliminate moisture.
- Complications from Snow and Ice Buildup: Snow piling up around your truck can make it difficult for customers to get to your truck. It’s important that you regularly shovel and try to park in areas that receive routine snow clearance.
