So, all of a sudden you have this brilliant idea of starting your food stall business. Well, just before you do that, you must know that starting such business is expected to be daunting. Most probably, you’ll have tons of different questions running in your mind like where to sell, what food to sell, how you can market and so forth.
Among the first questions that you’ll want to get answer with is what equipment to invest for your food stall? Well, the basic equipment you’d need regardless of what you are planning to sell would be the following:
- Catering tables
- Van
- Pop-up gazebo and;
- Hand-washing facilities
Then after this would come the question of marketing like whether to hire a link building services agency to expose your food stall to the local area where it is operating. Of course, there are some other basics that you need and more specialized equipment which will depend on the food that you are planning to sell.
There are several ways that you can sell foods when you’re on mobile caterer. If you are serious in opening such business, then you better read the next lines:
Pop-up Gazebo
This one is so easy to setup and at the same time, the cheapest way of starting a street food business. The beauty about these pop-up gazebos is that, they’re available in different sizes from 2.5m x 2.5m /3m x 3m/4m x 8m.
It is best to opt for 3×3 meters industrial grade gazebo because this is considered as the average size for street food market and at the same time, the pitch fee is dependent on the stall size.
Van
Being a mobile caterer, you will be setting up and packing at every food event or market that you get into. Thus a van would be a wise investment. When you are just starting out, you may just want to rent a van first to avoid the big expense of buying it outright or, you may buy a secondhand unit instead.
Basically, there are so much that you can do with small to medium van at the start but expect that as your equipment needs grow, so does with your logistical requirements.
