Why a mobile food truck business?

A catering truck route can be a great business opportunity, both in terms of costs and work flexibility. First, a good-condition, used catering truck may be available for under A$15,000, and second, the work hours are mostly from early morning to afternoon, making it an ample part-time opportunity.

Start-up costs can be as little as A$20,000, while revenue streams can easily surpass A$60,000 a year. Food items to be sold can be purchased from wholesalers, bakers, caterers, and sold with a markup of up to 150 percent.

You major target would be construction sites, factories, parks and beaches in your catering route.
