good start

have not finished reading this yet but so far very informative. give me a lot to think about, things that I never would have thought about on my own. It is geared more for big city food trucks and I am in a small town that only has 2 food trucks. I am finding it to be quite useful and informative to some one who is thinking about starting a food truck or just new at it. I would to anyone who is thinking about getting into the food truck business to read this book before making any decisions on whether or not this is a business for you.

Starting a food truck Iv read all the books and this one was full of good working thoughts and considerations. I recommend joining a food truck group in your city just about all of them have one even here in Oklahoma City the OKC food truck association is a great way to go beyond the book and find out what permits and check lists you have to follow for your area. As long as your not the same type of food truck you'll find others will be more than happy to help and guide you. These books will help you build the plan but you need a working local knowledge in order to not violate a law. Just in my city I needed a LLC, a Inspection by the city health department, a permit by the health department, a site permit every time I park on private property, a annual permit I have to buy every year to go to special events, and a site inspection permit every time I park at a public event. Hope that helps like my reviews for more

This book is by far one of those books that you MUST read to get started on your food truck. I am currently on my way and this is one of the books that set the foundation for me to have everything I will need to flawlessly run a food truck. The book emphasizes the fact that there will be hiccups but it sets you up to be as successful as you can be with as few of those hiccups as possible. I was searching for the source of info that would put my mind at ease about getting started and this was it!

This book does not contain enough info. They do not get to the point. I guess to stretch out the pages to sell. Skipped through a lot of the chapters.

This book is a gem, as I am conducting research to hopefully one day venture into the industry, this book has opened my eyes and has provided me with tips and useful information to better launch a food truck. This is a must read book for anyone even remotely interested in the industry. It touches a lot of areas that can be easily overlooked. Truly recommend this book, absolutely a quality piece of business literature.

My high rating for this book has a lot to do with the fact that this book was EXACTLY what I needed to prepare to launch my own NYC food truck. Easy to follow and enjoyable to read, yet full of plenty of details, great tips and fun interviews with other food truckers. I kept a notebook next to me while I read this and wrote down things like: "test COGS at 30% to set final menu prices," "ask insurance broker if there are fees for additional insured (there shouldn't be!)," "sign up for free Google Voice phone number," and "consider hourly time limit on catering rates to cover staff pay." Really practical advice. My only complaint is that this book wasn't around three years ago when I started planning the food truck business. Of course if it had, it might have scared me off! Weber doesn't sugarcoat things, but he also makes sure to highlight the joys of street vending too. I feel so much more prepared after reading this handbook.
