If you’ve been thinking about starting your own food truck, summer is the best time to do it. There are so many food truck festivals held throughout the summer that can help you build your business. Here’s a little guide for helping you to jump start your food truck:

• Research and Plan: It’s important that you take time to research and understand the food truck industry so that you can be successful. One of the most important things you have to do is establish your niche. Your niche is what will make you stand out against other food trucks.
• Get Permits and Licenses: Permits and licenses are non-negotiable. They vary depending on where you’re going to be operating so make sure you look into your city’s regulations. Common permits include: food handler permits, mobile food vending permits, health inspections, and parking permits.
• Developing Your Menu: Your menu is going to be the heart of your business. Keeping it small and focused on certain dishes can help you to serve high quality food with low wait times.
