when 
buying food 
truck
If you want to launch a gastronomic vehicle, 
the first thing is to define the format and 
menu, but it is also important to consider the 
sanitary protocols. With their delicious 
gourmet gastronomic proposals, speed, good 
prices and designs that delight, food trucks 
or food carts have gained notoriety and have 
embarked on a true revolution in the market 
that is growing every day. 
Before the covid-19 pandemic, they were a 
business on the rise, and they were 
inevitable in massive events, fairs and 
summer activities, captivating customers 
with this new business format on wheels.  
If you are looking for a way to start a 
business in the gastronomic field or to grow 
the one you already have, a good idea may 
be to have your food truck. If you like the 
idea, food trucks in kitchener have some 
recommendations that you should consider. 
Although the plan seems relatively simple, 
certain permits and standards are essential 
to work with a car.
•How to start your food truck 
business
 The initial investment
 First of all, you must define the 
format and the gastronomic offer, 
you will offer to your clients. In 
addition to the type of truck you 
are looking to have if you think the 
purchase of the truck, the kitchen 
equipment, the patents and 
permits, and even the design of 
the website. It should be noted 
that this investment will not be 
recovered immediately, so it will 
take a while to start seeing 
positive numbers.
•Permits to have a food truck
Like any business related to food, you must 
have all the necessary sanitary permits. Some 
related requirements have to do with the 
material of the cart, which is solid and 
washable; the size of it when cooking, and 
also having a drinking water system with a 
minimum capacity of 100 litres; among other 
things such as washing utensils, sinks, soap, 
towels, etc.
You should know that a Food truck cannot be 
installed in any corner but must be under the 
eaves of an event or organization (mall, 
pocket square, etc.).  In any case, since there 
is no current legislation, the best option is to 
guide you in the food truck business, which 
has the most up-to-date information on the 
regulations that exist and in which they work.
• Name and logo
If you want to be on everyone’s lips quickly, 
Kitchener food truck recommends a short 
name that is easy to pronounce but has an 
interesting meaning. In addition, this name 
must be accompanied by an attractive, striking 
logo that goes hand in hand with all the 
decoration of your new food truck.
It would help if you considered all this in your 
initial investment since they will cost your 
entrepreneurship development process.
• Where can they work?
 Considering municipal patent regulations and 
others, currently, food trucks can operate in 
private spaces, which is why weddings, events, 
massive activities and fairs are their main source 
of activity before the pandemic and now that 
they return to events little by little. 
Food trucks Kitchener offers the best quality 
food, enhancing the taste of food.
For the same reason, it is not that a food truck 
can be placed on any corner, square or street of 
the city to sell its food. It is important to be 
responsible since it can mean a big problem and 
even the definitive closure of your business.
•Economy mode
Although the initial investment is important, it 
is a good option in the field of gastronomy if 
we compare it with a traditional restaurant. 
For the same reason, the service offered to 
customers can also be accompanied by the 
attractiveness of the price. 
In any case, it is always important to consider 
that the investment and the economic order 
of the business will be key to success; that is, 
the order in costs, fixed expenses, variables, 
gasoline, suppliers, and others. In the case of 
a food truck, something that many uses are to 
use solar energy to supply the business. 
Electric generators are the solution, which will 
depend on your own company’s needs.
• Technology
Finally, considering that millennials are the 
main consumers of food trucks, social 
networks and how you manage them will 
be very important in the growth of your 
business. Kitchener catering uses 
technical products for making food early.
You must consider that it is a rolling 
business, and for the same reason, through 
the networks, you must keep your 
followers aware of where you will be, 
you’re new offers and your products. 
Accompany all this with good photographs 
of your dishes, your happy customers and 
more.
Thank You!
