Reminiscent of old-world 'Thelas', a Food Truck is a fast food joint on a truck converted into a small kitchen with restaurant equipment. A distinctive feature of this business is the preparation of meals from semi-finished products, which reduces cooking durations several times over. Mobile Street food is all about quick but tasty bites for those who don’t have a single second to spare. Other than having a restaurant, or a fixed eatery, a food truck can be placed anywhere anytime. Getting the largest share of customers depends on being in the right place at the right time. And this is only possible with a moving eatery concept. The mobility of a food truck allows it to place itself at different locations at an ideal time. For instance, a food truck can park outside a school in the afternoon and later in the evening, outside an office. But operating a food truck is much more than just making delicious food. It is about finding the right vehicle, acquiring necessary legal permissions, choosing staff and finally identifying locations to maximise sales.

Since this is a business, one need to have the complete set of licenses to make the food truck those include FSSAI license, Fire Department NOC, Commercial Vehicle license, Permissions from Local Municipal Corporation and so forth. Though the concept of a food truck came a bit late in India but is gaining a lot of popularity. Food Truck Business in India has gained admiration among small entrepreneurs as well as consumers. By looking at the increasing trend of the food truck business in India, we must say that the future of this mobile cuisine business seems promising. Food trucks are a perfect low-cost business option as one does not need to invest in real-estate and added mobility advantage provides food truck owners access to several locations simultaneously.
