Write a check, lots of people in my area with similar asperations use gofundme ect. Be aware of the extra 10-20k you don't see. You tend to bleed money as a start up



This is expert advice?

What do I write a check for? Where do I get the truck? What kind of safety issues do I need to address before selling food? What suggestions do you have for advertising? What kind of profit can a food truck make?

And you spelled aspirations incorrectly.

Not my area, but I have friends.
35k for outfitted used truck
1500 for inventory
2k for fees
1k for upgrades
Depending on the area you may have to pay a fee to park
Account for insurance and gas

A brick and mortar is 33% food, 15%labor, 15% booze, 20% to turn the lights on, water, repairs ect. You're not going to get rich
