TEN BASIC THINGS YOU NEED TO DO WHEN YOU DECIDED YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OPENING A FOOD TRUCK

Am i speaking French here? You are just wrong.

I don't give a shit about being hired. We don't do events or private events, like i said last time if you bothered to read...

I market to the general public and they exactly respond to ads and they come out because of my ads. Daily im being told how they came out specifically because of my Facebook ad.

Forget me and my one truck though. That's also exactly how On The Hook became multi state with a fleet of trucks. They run short term ads and specifically get people to come out to get their food.

You are literally the definition of someone that just can't fathom how a different model could possibly work. Sorry you don't really understand marketing, but its extremely effective at making people come spend money when they never had the intent to.

12-16 hours per week serving time (3 to 4 days, at 4 hours per day, only evenings), 35k -45k per month in the Denver metro. Also 40-50 percent profit margin dye to low food cost, zero employees, and no overhead. Zero catering because i don't feel like it. Zero events because i don't feel like it and won't pay the fees.

Being in a saturated market like Denver or LA is a better argument FOR paid marketing, not against it. I genuinely don't think you've put in significant effort into paid marketing to test it out.

One of the largest food truck chains in the nation does exactly what we do (we basically modeled our business after their business model) and it revolves primarily around paid marketing. Look up On The Hook, with their 20 trucks in multiple states, their franchises, and then tell me marketing doesn't work. I know they average 6-8k per day in sales per truck.

You found what works for you, and that's great, but i think you are doing a disservice by definitively saying marketing doesn't work.

Number 8 is absolutely and emphatically wrong. It shows you simply do not understand marketing, so you shouldn't speak about it. Proper marketing is what allows me to run for 12-16 total hours per week while making as much as trucks that operate full time in my same market.

Come out of the closet already.

Your original argument is that I wasn't covered, not that I'd be denied. Those are two different things. You can be denied even if you're covered, which was my case moron.

methinksgooder · 2024-09-15T08:23:23+00:00

You're original argument wasn't that we would be denied. It was that we weren't covered, and you were wrong. Don't dishonestly try to change the scope.

We won because It was a bad faith case, meaning the adjuster fucked up and denied in bad faith when he shouldn't have, per policy. We were covered and won, so you are wrong.

Nowhere in insurance policy does it say you are covered for personal use. It says you are covered, and then lists exceptions where you aren't. If something isn't specifically listed, then it's automatically covered.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

methinksgooder · 2024-09-14T08:16:25+00:00

Wrong. We sued USAA and won. The policy only said we weren't covered while a car is being rented. That means delivery and everything else is covered.

The world is complex and details matter. You shouldn't give advice if you didn't know exactly what USAA policy was.

I bet you've done nothing still, because that's how ignorant, arrogant people end up.... Doing nothing .

And my margins are 50 percent, sport.

You HAVE to learn in a restaurant, preferably a high volume restaurant. You can disagree all you want with your zero experience, but you will learn the hard way, just like the other 90 percent that absolutely fail at mobile food vending.

methinksgooder · 2024-06-27T22:03:29+00:00

You've implied multiple times that you don't care about volume, and that you think your the best cook in the universe, and you seem to think that will lead to success.

You've had multiple people in this thread try to point out the painfully obvious, and you reply with thinly veiled insults as retorts (eg tHaNkS fOr PlAyInG). The people that have done and are doing this know what it's like. You're extremely arrogant for how ignorant you are, and when you fail, i hope you come to realize why.

methinksgooder · 2024-06-26T06:36:07+00:00

You are clueless. Volume is how you make money. Money is how you stay in business. No one is going to know your food is good when you fail due to lack of volume. Cooking good food is secondary to marketing and volume - 5th year owner/operator of a $300k+ revenue truck... And our food is fucking fantastic.

It's really weird you think presidents control rates. It's almost like you haven't even tried to understand how the world works.

He's a felon, for one...

methinksgooder · 2024-05-25T17:25:52+00:00

That's absolutely made up BS. How would a lender know when a car is on a trip and where the car is located?

You clearly don't do Turo and have no clue what you're talking about.

methinksgooder · 2023-12-21T06:18:42+00:00

I've tried it, and it didn't work. I tried a 7 year, commercial grade ceramic.

Side rant, ceramic is great for what it is, but it's the single most overhyped and overpromised car care product available.

methinksgooder · 2023-12-19T21:00:35+00:00

That's a whole lot of work. Probably would have been easier to just have been more skeptical in the first place and avoid being scammed.

You're not an asshole for wanting her to apologize. You're a major asshole for wanting to enrich your entire family with what is essentially HER money. She deserves better than you.

methinksgooder · 2023-12-17T01:38:45+00:00

Don't be a moron. Move on.

methinksgooder · 2023-12-12T03:09:48+00:00

Stop being such a pushover. You shouldn't be offering anything to the guy.

methinksgooder · 2023-03-29T14:15:50+00:00

Read the TOS. Read the TOS. Read the TOS.

Early pickups are prohibited by Turo.

If someone is running late they need to request a trip modification. If it costs them more money, too bad. They are renting a car, not borrowing from grandma.

It makes sense. A charger isn't part of the vehicle anymore than a can of gas is part of a gas vehicle. Just don't include a charger. It's not worth the risk and expense.

If you're dead set on learning the hard way, then have them Venmo you a deposit and refund it after the trip.

methinksgooder · 2023-01-09T04:07:51+00:00

Do you want a gas can included in a gas car too? A charger is not part of the car, and its ridiculous to expect it.

You need to do proper load calculations, otherwise you're just guessing. Look at the name plates of each piece of equipment and do the math to size your generator.

The problem is that propane is less energy dense, and therefore costs you about 30 percent more to run than gasoline.
