Even if the popular US trucks with a made-in-Germany interior are of a significantly higher standard than their overseas counterparts, newcomers should not ignore important issues for the professional operation of their food truck. These are primarily aimed at reliability, use in city centers and the operating costs of the vending vehicles. There are a number of things to consider when buying a food truck:

• How reliable and service-friendly is my food truck?
• How quickly can my vehicle be repaired if it suffers major engine or transmission damage?
• How can I reach my location in the city center "legally" without an environmental badge?
• How many kilometers do I drive per month and is 30 liters per 100 km acceptable for my business plan?
• Is it worth making a unique vintage car? In case of doubt, how high do I estimate the resale value?
• Can I lease or rent the food truck?

The charm of a vintage Step Van alone is not enough for success. It is often better to buy a new food truck. A comprehensive service network, such as that offered by FIAT or IVECO, should not be underestimated in everyday working life.

Buy a food truck and off you go! BUT: Getting a permit for public streets or squares is not easy. The requirements of the market authorities for weekly markets are also not always easy to fulfill. In Germany, however, these permits are mandatory in order to be allowed to sell in public spaces. However, with a strong food concept and a proper vehicle, it is possible. Another option is event catering at city festivals and street food festivals.

Private plots are a popular alternative to municipal spaces: Supermarkets, company parking lots or brownfield sites in industrial estates. A deal with local companies is often easier to reach than in the town halls of the republic. And the hungry workforce of the surrounding companies is included.
