So you want to open a bar but don’t like the idea of running a kitchen? How about a food truck as part of your bar operation. It doesn’t even have to be your own food truck – just find someone willing to partner by benefitting from your location. On the other hand, owning a food truck can bring in revenue when the bar is closed prior to opening in the afternoon or on slow days like a Monday or Tuesday. The Food Truck can go to fairs, ball-games, art shows and other area events.
Another little something you may not want to consider is the bar closing down. With a food truck at least half of your operation still has a leg to stand on.
Food Trucks are projected to be a $27 Billion Dollar industry in 2017 according to John White, MBA
