Custom Food Cart Builder Pairs Imagination With Foodie Faves

By Jeannie Chapman


Making money from a hobby is a dream for many individuals. If constructing delicious food is your creative outlet, you may think opening a diner would be the answer. However, this could be a nightmare the first couple of years, even five or ten years, as losing money is inevitable in the building stages of businesses revolving around foods. Contacting a custom food cart builder to fashion your own traveling bistro is going to be the best option for your money.

Let's say you've overhauled your grandmother's Old Italian pizza recipe to be healthier. This would be a great lunch offering for health-conscious on the move workers. Replacing fattening cheese with a low-fat feta and the crust with a gluten-free dough along with fresh veggies and you'll see more and more of the same customers every day. Taking your handcart to the industrial area where there are more secretaries than hard laborers during the day and they will thank you with multiple purchases.

Once you know what type of cuisine you are going to be serving, you'll need to discuss the interior design with a designer. Since this type of kitchen is much smaller, and on wheels, you'll what a modified version of a large cooking area. A professional kitchen in miniature will help expedite preparations of each purchaser's orders, which in turn will supply you with repeat customers.

It would be great if you could simply drive your new lunchtime wheels up to any street at any time and start operating. However, a city needs to give their permission for you to operate your business. A license or permit must be issued prior to opening. Contact the city, in person or online with a business plan and the dimensions of your mobile wagon and they will give you a permit or tell you why you are not qualified for one.

When the traveling lunch wagon is ready, you'll need to fill it with equipment that is efficient, practical and portable. There are many online stores that cater to the mobile feed industry. Everything your traveling truck will need to prepare and deliver delicious meals is available at various prices.

At this point you will need to complete the menu. Having settled on a specialty dish you'll need to create several side dishes to complement that recipe. Something that would stand on its own as well would be appreciated by those who don't want a full meal. You may also want to expand the main course by a few other main dishes as you won't want to be known as a one-dish-wagon.

Pulling the interior and exterior of your mobile lunchtime service together may have you designing and painting yourself or hiring someone to do it for you. With bright bold colors, a logo tied to your specific cuisine and cute charactures adorning the exterior, your business will be recognizable and memorable wherever it travels. And that is one of the best advertising jobs you'll come by, anywhere.

Businesspersons reach their goals by dreaming big. They plan first and prepare for what they want. Next they act on their plans carefully and in a methodical way to insure they don't miss any important steps. By investing in a custom food cart builder, someone with a dream of traveling cuisine will reach their dream job sooner.
