In the spring, fall, and summer, big cities and small towns host food truck festivals and other live events where you can successfully position your food truck. Some of those events include community events carnivals, music festivals, state fairs, and sporting events. While you’re considering parking your mobile eatery at an upcoming food truck festival, consider all the ways you can make it stand out in the crowd.
That starts with creating a custom wrap for your food truck that boosts your brand and draws the crowd to your service window. In addition to serving a variety of food products, food trucks come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and types. Some may be largely stationary and part of regular community events while others may be constantly on the go. The food trucks you compete with at your next food truck festival may also range in size and mobility from the others around it. Some breweries and restaurants have roving food trucks powered by patrons who peddle the trucks along a predetermined route. Another mobile food vendor might have a cart powered by their own two feet. Another might own a converted van, trailer, or ice cream truck. Start the design process by understanding the type of food truck you own and the graphics and branding your target audience responds to.
Of course, the best feature of your food truck is the food. That’s why the design process of your food truck should start with your menu. Unlike restaurant menus, your mobile menu must be short and sweet. It should also be big and bold enough to be read easily and from a distance. Because vending at a food truck festival usually means long lines of hungry consumers, fast turnover is also important. Make sure your menu contains options, substitutions, and prices. Having all the info consumer’s need to order quickly frees you and your team from answering repeated questions. It also leaves you with more time to keep the line moving quickly and serving more customers.
