Mobile Catering Trailer – Things to Think about before Hitting the Road
A mobile catering trailer offers owners the freedom of the open road. It’s a vehicle that can open up a new way of life with the chance to be your own boss and engage with thousands of customers. Of course, before embarking on this idyllic lifestyle there is plenty to think about, as we consider in this post.
What to Sell
Deciding on what to sell is all about finding a balance between something you’re passionate about and something that will shift, preferable like hotcakes. You should also consider how long your chosen catering items take to prepare and how you are going to store them. In theory, the quicker you can make something and the easier it is to store, the greater chance you have of maximising your profits.
Where to Sell
With mobile catering trailer, you can technically set up stall anywhere that takes your fancy. However, there are certain places where you may have more success selling your wares than others. A hot dog van, for instance, located in a field of staunchly vegan sheep, may struggle for custom. However, a trailer selling whole food vegan falafels in the same field, with the same animals with the same dietary inclination, may have a rather more prosperous future.
In addition to the tastes of customers, you should also consider footfall and competition. While laws in your chosen location are also important – will you need a trading licence?
Logistics
A mobile catering trailer can offer people a very fulfilling existence; however, as with everything in life, there are still plenty of logistics to think about. How many staff will you require? Will you and your staff need towing licences? What about public liability insurance? You’ll also have to consider where you will get your produce from.
Despite all the considerations, we would encourage anyone to give the mobile catering trailer life a go, and we would be delighted to help you along your journey.
