Food trucks have become increasingly popular over the years, as the traditional ice-cream or sandwich stall you would have normally seen at fairs, has transformed into a cuisine on wheels.

Cheaper and more convenient than investing into a restaurant, yet allowing you to transform your passion for cooking into a business, a mobile food truck allows you to freely navigate the city while providing several people with high-quality food of all types.

No matter if you are simply promoting your restaurant, or just getting started into the food business, if your food is tasty and healthy, you will become popular in no time.

So, set yourself up for success by moving locations as needed and do research when it comes to what areas you should cover and in what periods or times of the day.

Schools and stations, regardless of them being bus stations or train stations, are places which usually have a large concentration of people at any given time…
