Food truck ideaS
« on: July 07, 2015, 01:51:58 PM »
I would like to buy a piaggio ape 50 and open up some kind of food/drink cart in the future.

Been thinking about this for 3 years now.

Whats hot in your neck of the woods?

A truck with beer.
Just beer. Not even good beer.
No food, just shitty beer.

I'd call it the Shitty Beer Truck.

Call your truck Skewered and sell shish-kabob's. That way you can mix up the menu and run with different themes.

Incorrect apostrophe usage.

Like my donut holes would be in the shape of an apostrophe and I'd put them in inappropriate places. The middle of a burger patty, for example.

I think I remember you mentioning this years ago. With hot dogs/Polishs or some other sort of sausageness.

Speaking for the plebes, I wouldn't care enough to find a particular food truck to go back to a food truck that sold gimmicks like breakfast or deserts. Having a unique product is good but to get regulars you want to have something that is filling, tastes good everyday, and most doesn't feel like a ripoff (ie: vegetarian dishes).

The Mexican food trucks are popular here for a reason. But I think you could do a lot with hotdogs and obviously they are a convenient food as far eating on the go.

Hot dogs are a classic here, some spin on it might work yeah. My area lacks a hot dog place which is funny cause Copenhagen is packed with them.

Japanese okonomiyaki seems to be loved by every American who has eaten it, but it is very difficult to find in the USA. A friend thought a food truck would be optimal, even rolling them up like crepes instead of serving them flat.

You can manual-correct that original post in the amount of time it took to explain that autocorrect had it in for you.

Just make sure you can actually make it in a truck in a reasonable amount of time.  Nothing worse than waiting 20 minutes for food from a fucking truck.

I don't think I know anything about Danish cuisine (actually I thought Copenhagen was in Iceland until I Googled it) but one thing I would suggest is to just go with grilled sausages over anything boiled like most hot dog carts. The taste is just so much better.

Also in whatever to-go box you use, a divider between sausage and fries would be very helpful for the customer in being able to easily eat the fries without any sauce/chili from the sausage making everything a soggy mess.

Grilled Cheese

Do away with the lunch lady too. Transition from old hag to hip young professional, or go tacky and rely on sex appeal.

I imagine mexican stuff could be big here. The turkish/arabic fast food is somewhat similar (bread/meat/salad based) but I still feel mexican stuff could find it's niche here.

I think mexican might get big one day, it used to be in the 90'd already.

Ramen might be a bit hard to eat on the go, but I like the idea.

Any novelty stuff is out of the question, market is not mature enough for that.

Lager lives in the backward town of "Yurop," which doesn't have the strong background of Spanish colonialism mixed with local foodstuffs. They still drink things like "lager" there. :lol

There's not a lot of food trucks in the area, but there's a lot in the state that come to the bi-monthly foodtruck rally around here.

They do Seafood, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino... Mexican and a lot of other dishes. Vegan or non-Vegan if they're really good at prepping their stuff and knowing their customers. I'd say go with what you think you can sell as a REALLY good prepared food and maybe mix in some flavor/fusion of other countries or your heritage in there. Mexican Waffles? Could do. French Tacos? Could do.

Mexican food is not a novelty, I was talking about the fried potato and other stuff like that. That said 10% of the population isnt latino so the market isnt there.l

Pulled pork is popular here but not many stands. Might work.

I was thinking of a breakfast lunch place since there is a lot of offices here. The only coffee places are inside a huge mall

This needs to happen now. Okonomiyaki is hard to find in Seattle, and yes I will smack you if you say "it's easy to make at home!" I don't care.
