That's why we are excited to offer you this Food Truck Startup Guide, packed with invaluable knowledge, insights and information to help you kickstart your food truck venture.
We got Started by getting Screwed:
Greg owned a restaurant and had ambitions to expand his business with a food truck. While many entrepreneurs begin their culinary journey with food trucks, Greg was fortunate enough to secure a promising deal for a brick-and-mortar establishment. However, his experience holds a valuable lesson that has befallen countless others in similar situations.
Despite his success in the restaurant industry, Greg was relatively unfamiliar with the world of food trucks. When the opportunity arose to purchase a used truck for what seemed like a bargain price of $30,000, he seized it, thinking he had stumbled upon the deal of a lifetime. Regrettably, his excitement quickly turned to disappointment as the harsh reality set in.
In the following months, Greg faced a series of challenges and unforeseen expenses. He had to invest an additional $35,000 just to make the food truck functional, taking his total investment from $30,000 to $65,000. This included essential mechanical repairs, the acquisition of additional equipment and ensuring his truck was up to code in his county. And this is how Overhill was born, out of the necessity to build our own food trucks with quality, efficiency and affordability in mind.
Greg's experience underscores the importance of being well-informed and making informed decisions. He had to learn the hard way that lacking knowledge in a specific domain can lead to unfavorable outcomes. It also highlights the significance of providing comprehensive information and guidance to customers, empowering them to make choices that align with their best interests.
Don’t be Greg.
