Frequently Asked Questions
How should food truck menu items be priced?
Target 28–35% food cost: a $3.20 ingredient cost means a $9–11.50 menu price. Then round to clean numbers ($10 beats $9.87) — speed at the window matters as much as margin.
Can food trucks charge restaurant prices?
Yes — customers pay for convenience and uniqueness, not square footage. Gourmet trucks in busy corridors routinely price at or above fast-casual restaurants. Underpricing is the more common mistake.
Should prices differ by location or event?
Absolutely. Festivals with captive audiences and vendor fees support 15–25% higher prices than a weekday street corner. Build event fees into event pricing every time.
