It has had a foothold in the UAE for a while &#8211; and is now beginning to reward entrepreneurs in the Kingdom. Maybe it is time for you to take your first step along this simple and profitable route into the restaurant business?<\/p><p>Opening a food truck business is a great way into the restaurant business because the initial outlay required is low &#8211; compared to a fixed venue &#8211; but the financial opportunities are high. Owners of food truck businesses make decent money because they can offer a) a range of delicious premium fare at a high rate of covers b) from a small investment and c) move around to follow the crowds.<\/p><p>And, of course, one key thing to remember is that a food truck is not necessarily what we might call a \u2018truck\u2019. A truck often means a small lorry, whereas a food truck is simply a customised vehicle with a kitchen and serving area. Sometimes the operational area is housed in a trailer and towed; sometimes, the food truck is a single vehicle. Some startups begin with just a food cart to scope out the market and try different approaches; this is an excellent idea.<\/p><p>Usually, food trucks operate with the chef (that\u2019s you, or your staff) working in the kitchen and providing meals from a hatch to customers who then eat al fresco. Sometimes, food trucks have the space (and appropriate permissions) to lay out some tables and chairs for customers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c372137 elementor-blockquote--skin-boxed elementor-blockquote--align-center elementor-blockquote--button-skin-link elementor-blockquote--button-view-icon-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"6c372137\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tOpening a food truck business is a great way into the restaurant business because the initial outlay required is low - compared to a fixed venue - but the financial opportunities are high.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">@raqtan<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Opening+a+food+truck+business+is+a+great+way+into+the+restaurant+business+because+the+initial+outlay+required+is+low+-+compared+to+a+fixed+venue+-+but+the+financial+opportunities+are+high.+%E2%80%94+%40raqtan&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.raqtan.com%2Fen%2F%2Fen%2Fhow-to-start-a-food-truck-business%2F&amp;via=raqtan\" class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-button\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-label\">Share this quote<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77586b62 before-border-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"77586b62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Much Does it Cost to Start a Food Truck Business?\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70f662c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70f662c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Committing to a food truck startup is less expensive than most forms of fixed-venue restaurant (apart from budget take-away kiosks).<\/p><p>But remember that, even though you will not need to pay rent like you would for premises, you will need to buy\/rent a customised vehicle as well as pay for all licenses which allow you to do business in certain places; licenses can catch you out, so do your research &#8230;<\/p><p>You will need to budget for start-up costs of at least 100,000 Riyals (approximately) and then recurring costs:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6227f632 before-border-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6227f632\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-xl\">Start-up Costs of a Food Truck Business:\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52ab05a4 elementor-align-start elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"52ab05a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-arrow-circle-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Your food truck - new?
