Now, I’m pretty sure I just found the reason most people never open a food truck. You want to open one, but you don’t know what the first steps are, and the unknown is like hitting a giant wall.
Now, I’m Chris. I’ve bought restaurants, dance clubs, and beach bars for the last 30 years, and I sold them all to have a food truck that pays me like a doctor. Now, you can get past that wall, the one you can’t see that’s right in front of you, but most people never find the first step.
So make two phone calls:
1. Call the zoning office and ask what the rules are for putting a food truck on private property or on land you’re going to lease. Zoning only tells you where you can park, and the health department tells you what it takes to open.
2. Call your health department. Ask them to send you the whole packet of what you need to open, and write the answers down.
