You could have completely elastic kitchen space deployed to different locations all the time. Trucks could be restocked at a warehouse outside of town.
Delivery drivers just get the address of the food truck to pick up from instead of a physical location.
- silenced_trope 3y agoI don't think food trucks can just park somewhere and serve/work there. As weird as that may seem because why have a roving restaurant if it's required to be in one spot? Nonetheless I think permits are required, the Senior Sisig truck always used to be next to the Equinox on Sansome St. Other food trucks only ever serve at the "Off the Grid" park.
- sgift 3y agoI took a look into the origin of the food truck once (internet rabbit hole ftw), and originally they moved - some still do these days. Usually serving a different area each day or if you have two areas with non-overlapping break times even midday. But when it got more popular people started to complain that trucks would just stop where they wanted to and cities started to demand permits (I'm not saying they were wrong, just how it is). That made in uneconomical and sometimes even impossible to move around all the time. It's rather hard to just stop spontaneous and serve a crowd if you need a permit for each stop. So, these days, food trucks are mostly for show (that's the ones you saw) or company events. Company wants to feed all their employees something different than the usual grub, but not leave the campus for the event: Rent a food truck.
