Food Truck Ownership

What comes to mind immediately regarding having a food truck business or any food-oriented business that focuses on your locality? It’s usually serving food that makes people happy. You have an idea or a great recipe and want to serve it. However, your business is local. When you see shows such as The Bear, Bobs Burgers, or even certain movies, you realize that the people are sourcing ingredients locally. 

They’re going to farmers’ markets, not shopping at Costco or Sam’s Club but right to the source. But why do this if you can quickly get everything you want by going to a grocery store? Well, it’s about standing out, and your chosen ingredients do that. It’s not just about ethics either; it’s the delightful taste of the food! Our collaborative blog offers insights into how sourcing locally can empower your food truck’s growth. 

Freshness is Front and Center

First, local ingredients are fresh—we’re talking just-picked-this-morning fresh. When you use local produce, meats, and other goodies, you showcase the quality of your food. Your dishes get a taste upgrade that customers can spot (and taste) a mile away. Plus, fresh ingredients often need simpler preparations to shine, which can speed up your service and get those orders rolling out the window faster. It does depend on the ingredients, but you still can’t go wrong! 

Telling a Story That Sells

Even when you start a food truck business, you will have a story to share. Like other businesses, many customers want to know where the food comes from—not just the menu itself, but the ingredients! There’s a story behind every local ingredient—a story you can share with your customers. It could be the farm down the road or an artisan cheesemaker in town. These stories add a rich, personal touch to your menu items. 

A Menu That Morphs with the Seasons

When you go local, your menu naturally aligns with the seasons. It means you can offer unique items that celebrate what’s fresh currently. Besides, the menu can get stale, and many fancier businesses will focus on their menus seasonally (which alone drums up a lot of height). For example, you can think about strawberry desserts in the spring, zucchini dishes in the summer, or pumpkin treats in the fall. Plus, it’s a great way to challenge your culinary creativity!

It’s All About Building Local Partnerships

Sourcing locally does more than stock your pantry. It ties your business into the local Economy. You’re a customer and partner when you buy from local farms and food producers. Like all business Relationships, these can lead to collaborations, like special promotions, joint events, or exclusive products. 

And remember, these local businesses are run by locals who eat, too—your next loyal customer could be the farmer who grows your tomatoes.

In Conclusion: Empower Your Food Truck Business Growth

Similarities exist among most businesses, including owning a food truck. Before one begins, it’s best to answer your individual ‘why?’ if you want to own the company you have in mind and all the responsibilities that come with it. Once your question is answered on various levels, it’s time to seriously consider what types of food and service will delight your clientele and feed them well. The bonus lies in serving communities, including using locally sourced ingredients. Being true to self, community, and clientele will help empower your food truck business growth.

Elinor Stutz International Best-Selling Author

Elinor Stutz broke through barriers long before doing so was popular. Against all the odds, she defied the theme “women can’t sell” to become the top producer at every company she ever worked for, ignoring attempts to get her to quit.

Eleven years later, I lay motionless on a stretcher with an irreparably broken neck. Two visions appearing before me, and a brilliant gold light encasing my entire body, gave me a reason to believe I would recover. I wholeheartedly knew I was about to empower audiences far and wide. At the moment, I negotiated a full recovery with the promise to be of service. The surgeon and hospital staff anointed me with the title “The Walking Miracle.”

As the CEO of Smooth Sale, Stutz adapted the motto, “Believe, Become, Empower.” Believe in yourself; Become the person you envision; Empower your audience to do the same. Stutz is on the Social Media Committee for Inclusion Allies Coalition devoted to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
