Working in a New York City food truck is like being in the heart of the action. It’s all hands on deck from the get-go. You’re prepping ingredients, flipping burgers, and serving up piping-hot meals.
There’s never a dull moment. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. You must be ready for anything.
One minute, you’re soaking up the sun and chatting with customers, and the next, you’re battling it out with the weather gods as rain pours down on your little slice of foodie heaven. There are the occasional run-ins with grumpy customers. Sometimes health inspectors seem to show up at the most inconvenient times.
It might seem like these trucks are cool because owners don’t have to pay rent for a store. However, they still have to deal with other expenses, like parking tickets. It’s common to get those pretty much every day, but that doesn’t stop the hustle. Some trucks serve up to 250 people in just three hours. By 2:30 pm, they’re almost ready to close shop because the crew sold out of practically everything.
The guide shows that running a food truck isn’t all fun and games. It’s a lot of hard work, but crews are proud of what they do. They love serving people delicious food and seeing the happy faces of their customers. That, at the end of the day, makes all the hard work totally worth it. Watch the video to see them in action.
