How to Start a Food Truck
I am considering starting a food truck business and needed insight on what aspects I needed to consider. The book was an easy read and included areas I had not considered as well as a few tips that I found helpful. The author also provided sample documents I could use to help plan my business and track operations. The sample documents were very helpful. The breakeven point formula and description was also very beneficial. This book is a great choice for individuals who need help with the planning and financial aspects of the business.
This book is amazing
I’m a young adult really trying to pursue my dream of having my own food truck. Just reading the sample of the book alone has already taught me so much valuable information. This is most definitely a MUST HAVE!!!
