Starting a Food Truck Business is Expensive
I started seriously considering starting a Craft BBQ food truck after cooking for some charity events hosted by Sugar Leaf Co during the summer and fall of 2023. The Croptober event on October 14th really accelerated the decision making process. I had a blast. It was so much fun and a rewarding experience. I started developing a business plan and researching startup costs. Then through a series of serendipitous events the ideal truck appeared on the side of the road with a “For Sale” sign in the window. That was the day I made the decision to jump into this. I’m learning my projections for the truck build were fairly accurate, but the non-truck expenses have been significantly more than I expected.
