Probably some sort of cheese sandwich thing

>>13536050
Taco truck
The twist is there is only one type- flour tortillas, ground beef, lettuce, and tomato. Sour cream and salsa on the side

Cryptocurrency

drugs, easiest money laundering scheme possible

>>13536050
Crêpes. Cheap as fuck to make, quick to cook.

Meal
>Stuffed with bechamel, cheese, ham and eggs
>Stuffed with spinach, egg, goat cheese
Dessert
>Stuffed with salted caramel
>Stuffed with sugar or honey
>Stuffed with Nutella or peanut butter for those weird Americans
>Stuffed with whatever ice cream

Those fuckers sell them 8-9€ whereas it costs them not even 2€ to produce them.
Saw a documentary telling that all the sellers on tourist places use already-made mix that are often badly kept and have larvae and insects in them, bit like your weird pancake mix flours but stored in bad places. And tourists spend 10€ to taste "real French crepes".
Just make them yourselves.

>>13536119
incorrect. Safety inspectors, food inspectors, restaurant permits, etc. colossal pain in the neck with regular drop-ins by officials. you will be in federal pound me in the ass prison in no time

>>13536050
stews and soups in fall and winter, pasta in spring and summer

2 stews, 2 soups to choose

classic tomato sauce, pesto genovese and one changing sauce for the pasta part

call it „Ein-Topf, viel Sauce“ (stew wordplay lol)
boom

>>13536050
I knew someone that made a living by selling beef tenderloin and chicken breast breakfast biscuits out of a igloo every morning during rush hour traffic.

>>13536050
Falafel truck.
Nowhere to get falafel in my town, it's criminal.

>>13536139
This sounds good but all of those different items would be difficult to have on a truck. You gotta decide desert or meal.

>>13536050
It would be either be a focus on potatoes. Cheap, high turnover, maximum profit....or lobster rolls.

>>13536167
I'm assuming something other than fries? Every food truck serves that you gotta do something different

>>13536180
Of course it would be different. Main focus would be baked potatoes with different fillings, for instance you could get a basic loaded potato or a potato topped with shrimp Alfredo or maybe you want potato pancakes. Idk. But yeah, think of all you can do with potatoes

>>13536167
Also slug burgers. Those are super cheap to make and sell for a decent price.

>>13536165
Sugar, salted caramel for dessert
And you decide of only one garnish per day. You'll have to have them fresh every day anyway.

Food truck can easily work every other day too, if you go near companies on lunch time, you're sure to have clients.
Crazy rush but only twice a day and you can even do the sugary part all day long or at night near malls or inner cities, if police lets you.

>>13536050
I'd need a bit more cash than that but I'd do a pull behind trailer and sell brisket, pulled pork, chicken, ribs. For sides it would be standard fare, chips, beans, mac and cheese, slaw, potato salad.

>>13536231
My man

>>13536256
I was thinking about the icecream in particar. I used to work on a food truck when I was a student and the machinery required for that takes up a lot of space so it isn't worth it imo

>>13536276
Isn't worth it for one dish, that is

>>13536231
my brother owns a food truck and potatoes are his number one complaint from customers because they aren’t flashy or instagrammable to people
doesn’t even matter how much you dress them up. unless they’re french fries covered in cheese and random shit people will complain

>>13536302
Lol fucking plebs

>>13536302
Then They don’t have to eat there. Not everyone lives in fake Instagram world. To be successful one must meet a need in their specific area. If people don’t want potatoes then go with something else but a person complaining about the food not being “insta” enough is a complete bitch with no grasp of reality. They don’t realize people aka “friends” don’t give a shit what they are eating.

>>13536276
Oh yeah icream is probably impossible.
Would also use too much power.

>>13536302
>Going to a food truck
>Wanting something to put on Instagram
Good Lord.

Back in my days, we went to restaurant to eat. Not to show off or get popularity through someone else's work.

>>13536050
Okonomiyaki and takoyaki probably.
Both are fairly easy to make, cheap ingredients, and you can't really get them where I live so I could overprice them and make a killing.

>>13536333
Insta is a deciding factor boomer. I've never taken a picture of my food but adapt if the locals just want to eat there for the gram.

>>13536358

Topping that. Oden in cold places. Get a liquor license and some tables and you got a place for drunk places on a cold night or just want comfort food after a shitty night.

>Poached eggs in broth
>Poached Daikon with gluten free options like Konjac
>Steamed Fish Cakes of different shapes
>Udon for a starch base
>Sake and cheap beer

>>13536391
Just because someone doesn’t use Instagram doesn’t mean they’re a boomer. It just means they aren’t a faggot

Banh mi, sandwiches are so easy to make when you have all the ingredients prepped, you just need something trendy

>>13536391
I said that in my post. If it’s not selling then change it up. I wouldnt but you’re bitch brother probably should. He sounds weak willed

>>13536050
30k? lol

>>13536050
beer.
pick 2 brands of common, cheap beer, 1 brand of cider, cheapo red & white wine.
bang, that's all 5 menu items there
go to festivals, events, meet-ups and anywhere there's something happening.
park up and get people drunk.
a 12pack of beer is $15 here, sell that shit at $3/can and you're good to go.

>>13536414
you arent even talking to the same person. you're throwing insults out randomly trying to get attention

>>13536139
crepes are an amazingly profitable street food
you can sell them for at least $10 each. There is a local crepe vendor at the summer outdoors market who makes a killing, they have 45 minute wait lines (they give out little crepe timers) and charge like $50 for four crepes to happy tourists. They are "good quality" crepes though, made with buckwheat flour and nice ingredients.

>>13536050
mini cheesecakes
insane profit margins, no preparation in the truck itself, people love desserts

>>13536496
based

Flip, probably. Stuff that's really easy to palate for the west, adobo, lumpia, that sorta stuff. There's a distinct lack of flip food where I live in new mexico, so it'd probably be the most successful.

>>13536050
Bread and vodka.maybe cigarettes

thai noodles. pad thai, pad kee mao, etc. would like to do curry as well but it would be a bitch having the two in a truck.

>>13536050
Denver or western omelette is the most popular, it needs to be among your 4 if you are really going to do this.

I had a dumb idea for a fry truck once. Not french fries, but a truck that fries things. People could buy anything at a food truck rally and bring it over and we could batter and fry it. We'd have various methods and types of batters, tempura, breaded and fried, herb blend, etc. And probably sell some unique dipping sauces too. I actually think it could work, because people are lardasses who want to fry everything. But there are many complications, space mostly. You'd probably need a couple of different friers to keep things from contaminating each others flavors. Also transporting a lot of hot oil would be a bitch, and mostly I'd kinda feel guilty for contributing to the rampant gluttony in our food industry.

>>13536050
Sausage and Waffle sandwiches for the morning rush. Served with hash sticks and maple syrup. Coffee, tea, water, whatever those colored faggy drinks are. Simple shit.

Cajun food. If there's one thing that I have learned is impossible to find outside of the source, it's decent cajun food. And if there is a restaurant that makes an acceptable version, the cocksuckers charge $15 for a small ladle full of gumbo and shitty minute rice.

Gumbo, Red Beans, Po'boys. All you need.

>>13536050
Food truck is named Luftwaffles. We do waffles and other breakfast food, with a Germanic kick. Sausages, Black Forest ham on rye rolls, spatzle. The truck is painted red, white, and black, with a distinct Prussian blue (some say more of a cyan) colored smoke coming from the exhaust.

>>13536050
Tacos. There's a place that sells sub-Taco Bell tier texmex with the tacos costing nearly $4 each. This isn't an expensive city either, it's one of the poorest ones in the poorest state. I'll set up in the parking lot across from them with better food at half the price and rake it in.

>>13536598
If I wasn't a dumb lazy idiot I would have tried bakery, as a Frenchie I would have gone to the US or Japan or Russia and just put my flag on the restaurant or the food truck, made nice croissant, crepes and baguettes and made my little life making people happy and well fed with an easy specialty.
I don't understand how baguettes and croissant can be so bad in other countries. I tried them in spain, Italy and even Belgium which is supposed near but none of them can use flour properly. Dunno if it's the quality of the flour but I can only find good bread here.
But gotta admit for buns and hotdog bread, you guys know your shit. Do you find nice bread in the us ?

Middle eastern style, feel like there are way too many middle eastern trucks that sell only kebabs.

Menu will be
>Butter chicken
>Tikka masala
>Falafels with homemade hummus (3 variants of hummus, original, chili and beetroot)

Cheap as hell to make, and the hummus can be prepared several days before i need it

>>13536050
Lately in my country we've got a food truck hype with food truck festivals and shit happening all the time, especially in spring/summer.

I'd probably just go for some basic burgers&beer setup, because there are too many hipster chucklefucks ho thing they can make a decent "artisinal" burger but they all make newbie mistakes like using the wrong kind of buns or shitty sauces or whatever (and I know it's popular, but anyone who makes burgers on brioche buns deserves to be shot in the neck). I make better burgers at home every week so I could probably outdo all those bearded fucks.

Move to LA and hire some beaner with a felony to make mexican sushi for rich white ladies. All tattoos must be covered as part of the dress code. Post up at tourist spots then charge $10 for half a roll's worth of rice and canned tuna deep fried with some sriracha mayo on top and quirky toothpick chopsticks to eat with. Other options include frozen imitation crab meat or vegan california roll etc as "specials" with a $3-5 dollar up-charge.

Take the massive profits and reinvest in a few more trucks over the bay area. Then maybe expand into other asian-fusion like taco ramen or some dumb bullshit like that, the spics and braindead sjw white girls will eat that dogshit up so fast. Make it for pennies then charge $15 a bowl. It's artisinal after all, can't you see that there's an asian guy (third generation laotian) boiling the noodles? If the food's remotely edible it would make a fucking killing and these kinds of foods are cheap and piss easy to make delicious.

>>13536050
Ain’t nobody eating omelettes from a truck retard. You make fast food. Burgers, fries, shakes and ice cream. That’s what the public want.

>ice cream served in a warm waffle
>$5 each
>no options, but small toppings bar available

>>13536335
You never heard of ice cream trucks?

>>13536050
Ice cream, candy, and middle school toys. Lets see if I can't get me some PTP!

>>13536050
Potato truck. Baked potatoes with condiments, mashed potatoes, maybe some tots or hash. Choice of regular potato or sweet. If I could I’d buy one of those asian potato rollers to roast them.

>>13536050
That's fine, but how am I supposed to get into the egg truck?
Or out?

>>13536050

A presumptive attitude typical of your people

>>13536961

You better have a menu item called the Red Baron Special or I'm tipping your truck over.

>>13537261
Add poutine and if it's any good you have a hella popular lunch truck right there.

>>13536961

>>13536050
soft pretzels
birch beer

water ice (gelati too)

You know the Nazi's weren't normal Germans. They were the dirt poor fuck ups that Corporal Hitler appealed to. They were garbage Germans who suffered under the versailles treaty. Norman germans drove them back into the ghetto.

>>13536050
The "white genocide truck". It would serve only heavily spiced food made from the "scary" parts of the animal (fish head soup, tripe tacos, etc). Also vegetables, lots of them. Whites would be forced to pay three times as much and randomly they'd be accused of stealing and banned for life from eating there. All items on the menu would be labeled in a foreign language. Staff would be encouraged to say stuff in a foreign language of their choice and then stop and look at the white customers and laugh. White employees would be required to wear hats that say "it's NOT ok to be white". Also, for people who order multiple items they would be required to do the math themselves and then the asian employees would correct their mistakes in a most condescending way.

>>13536050
Cheese Truck
Bring us whatever food you want, and we will slather it with cheese. We will have up to 10 kinds of cheese

>>13536050
>$30,000/zero interest for 30 years
I wouldn't get a food truck.

Walking tacos. Cheap, portable, tasty, easy to consume, half the work is done by chip companies. You just cut the side off a single-serving chip bag, crush it a little, then fill it with taco stuffs.

>vegan fillings
>pescatarian fillings
>red meat fillings
>poultry fillings
>rotate seasonally and by available ingredients
>the rest is just fresh chopped vegetables and herbs
>sell for $3/ea or 2 for $5
>~$1.25 profit per unit sold
>plus drinks

best part is free advertising when customers get seen walking around eating out of a bag of chips. it has a native "what's that?" factor.

>>13536082
No cheese?

>>13537782
Oh ok tell us what wonderful unique non-food-and-cooking thing you'd do, I'm sure you're dying to tell us the exciting news about low cost passive index funds and modern portfolio theory

What about a curry truck? Seems easy, just have like 4 different curries simmering and lots of rice. Probably would have good margins.

>>13536054
How does he get out without breaking the eggs?

>made-to-order yeast donuts
>options of glaze, chocolate, other frosting dips
>array of toppings to choose from

>>13537814
there was a curry truck in my old neighborhood, patronized the hell out of it. you have no idea how often after work i found myself craving vindaloo without going to a restaurant.

>>13536155
did he also wash windshields?

Do a breakfast themed truck. Egg sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and waffles for the fatties. Fruit bowels, and something like a quiche cut up on a salad for the ladies trying to loose weight. Some kind of oatmeal gruel for the poor fucks. Maybe if I gave fewer fucks and I was setup near a hipster or Millennial area I would sell cereal and cold pizza.

>>13537830
Did they have naan? That's the only problem I can think of, you need a tandoori oven.

>>13537741
Do you need help with all that edge anon

>>13537812
No thanks.

>>13536050
hand him back the money because food trucks are stupid as shit.

>>13537860
I'm gay, btw. Not sure if that matters.

>>13536050
i'd open a thai truck, hire one or two cheap thai mothers who just immigrated and don't speak the language.
people will be flooding in because I have the most genuine thai food in town.
pay them like 1k a month and make sure they skip their language classes, can't have them know that they're being underpaid and used for my profit.

>giving out ideas for free
seriously, goyim?

>>13537212
That's premade shit though

>>13536153
two stews, two soups
combo meal is a soup + stew
some kind of light fruit water for $1 that costs .05 to make
when it gets hot outside make one stew spicy as fuck and one soup chilled
when it’s cold outside, offer hot green tea while waiting

I would probably go every day

fuck off I'm not giving you my idea for free faggot OP
give me that money and I'll tell you

>>13537212
Yea and they only sell ice cream so they can justify the machinery because it isn't for one dish

>>13536276
Why don't they sell good ice cream, then? Scoop it out of tubs kept in a freezer. Soft serve is shit.

>>13536050
juice, shakes, coffee. anything that isn't going to be hot and annoying to work in.

>>13536050
Ravioli, rotate a few types of fillings. Both classic fillings like meat or cheese but also experiment with unique ones and rotate seasonally. Customer chooses the ravioli they want plus a few different sauces on offer. maybe offer a dessert version, filled with mascarpone/cheesecake and drizzled with chocolate or honey? Maybe also sell bags of frozen ravioli for people to make at home, I've been to dumpling shops that did that

>>13536302
>if you sell potato dishes, you don't have to deal with instagram thots
I'm going to remember this in case I ever decide to get in to the food business.

>>13536050
Cheese sandwiches with different options of breads and cheeses. Also cans of soda and water and iced tea bottles.

Duck truck. I'd just sell duck breast.

>>13539631
making ravioli by hand in any sort of large quantity is fucking misery

Warm toast sandwiches. Seasonal choices. You can't beat a good toast sandwich. Fuck the meme food trucks.

>>13536082
>>13536119
This and this

>>13536961
Please prepare the following orders...

>>13536302
imagine catering to actual normoids your brother should kys himself

>>13536907
what the hell would your margins be anyhow. they pay full price for fair food and then they gotta bring it to you and pay whatever you charge on top of it. you'd basically be supporting other people's margins.

>>13536139

>France
>I can only find good bread here
Couldn't make this up

some kind of japanese food that people will pay a tonne for like >>13536358 said. I live on the west coast so hipsters are always looking for new food. I'd overcharge and also get some bubble tea equipment and charge $5 for that too (in canada that's actually undercutting the usual price of bubble tea)

All I can tell you is that beans and meat are a part of the recipe. I’ll be rich one day.

LOL

>>13537598
>Cheesesteak with no cheese
What did he mean by this?

Stir Fry truck, 2 massive jet engine stoves serving different fried rice, chao mien and stir fry, signature would probably be fried sticky rice.

>>13541305
>Bubble tea
I'm surprised that shit is around. It was a huge fad here in the early 2000s with stores everywhere but I haven't heard anyone say anything about it in probably 10 years. I assumed the fad had died

>>13536050
gyro truck
nuff said
just became a 100killionair

>>13536992
Yes, because funny enough there is a French bakery near my house. Otherwise the grocery bakery is decent or I make my own. It's not much more difficult than anywhere else, but it is a little harder because the ingredients here are usually not as good quality as elsewhere.

I open a weed truck and sell weed and weed snacks.
Call it the weed mobile

>>13542132

Imagine thinking people are going to buy classical french cuisine out of a truck. Bet you're the same person that pitched McSpaghetti.
