We love our food trucks here in Portland and anyone who loves good business should too. Carts have many great advantages: 1) Cheap(er) proof of concepts. Why open a big restaurant that can cost an insane amount of money and (likely) fail? Try out that niche food option and see where it goes, if you need to pivot it's not going to bankrupt you. 2) The American Dream. You can start something with passion and little capital and become fairly successful. 3) We all win because we get great food options. 4) Low overhead if you run it yourself and/or with your family. No need to deal with employees and the accounting that comes with them. 5) Flexibility. A great Thai food cart up near Portland State (Thai Pasta) was closed for a month due to a family trip to Thailand. Try doing that with a brick-and-mortar restaurant.
