The food trucks at ArtsPark serve as your inspiration every Monday. You love the food, the atmosphere and the idea of being your own boss. Now it’s time to turn your own unique recipes into the next delicious thing on wheels. All it takes is a great truck, a solid plan and a secure Hollywood, FL self storage unit.
Roll on Older Wheels
Very few first-timers buy a brand new truck off the showroom floor. If your budget insists on something used, take advantage of older wheels that adapt to custom work. Many food trucks were delivery vans in a previous life, and these sturdy vehicles are easy to gut and retrofit. Apply the cash difference between old and new to the steam tables, warming ovens and refrigeration units you’ll need to equip your truck.
You Just Need One
All you need is one irresistible dish that you prepare better than anyone else. Leave full-course menus to restaurants, and concentrate on something that makes you stand out from all the other food trucks. Whether you’re serving gourmet burgers or handmade chocolates, figure out the logistics of your specialty. Identify the best suppliers for ingredients, calculate food costs and factor in your time and labor.
Cook Up Smart Marketing
Marketing is as simple as putting up flyers, and it’s as involved as monitoring social media channels. Both strategies bring in business with minimum impact on the budget. Maximize your professional profile by supplying local charity events with tasty support. Barter for things like printing and web design by offering to cater in exchange for services. Save the expense of traditional advertising by cooking up smart, money-saving marketing plans.
Include Seasonal Storage
It’s easy to feed all those appetites on the boardwalk during the high season, but be sure to include downtime in your plans. When the crowds thin out, you want to make sure you have a secure site for parking. Ask about drive-up indoor storage with enough extra space to double as a staging area when you’re ready to roll next season. That food truck is your investment in the future, so it deserves a climate-controlled home base.
When you start your own business, the menu for success has to incorporate smart planning and plenty of determination. Safeguard Self Storage applauds the entrepreneurial spirit that drives your food truck dreams. We’re always here to support your hard work with the best storage solutions available across all of Broward County.
