Food Trucks have dotted the outside of office and
industrial complex for 50+ years. In 2003 with new found enthusiasm they
seemingly began expanding anew garnering attention time around from culinary
trained chef entrepreneurs. Consumers today believe food trucks have more
authentic food than most restaurants.
Chef entrepreneurs may at first seems as hard as
cats to herd, but today food trucks, food scooters, and customized mobile carts
are organized and holding Events, renting baseball stadiums, water front parks,
urban-parking lots on weekends hosting “self-produced” events and introducing
themselves to the local community. They
are advertising the event even creating a destination event for food albeit a
one night or one day stand.
The Food Truck mania reportedly peaked in 2010
according to IBIS World research but food truck sales continue to post positive
year or year sales growth. We at
Foodservice Solutions® believe sales will continue to grow in this sector at a
modest rate. However when you add the
food scooters and resurging mobile cart industry this sector is far from stale
or tapering.
Mobile food on wheels can be found showing up in
surprising numbers at state fairs, street/city/town festivals, farmers markets,
airport cell phone lots, and as Pop up food court events focused and authentic
mobile edibles. Working where and when
they want the mobile food niche is on the rise and direct competition for
restaurants on weekend and week days.
Culinary trained or not, chefs and food
entrepreneurs have for a vehicle to build a brand following, test new products,
evaluate new equipment, and reach consumers searching for The Next Big Thing.
