Starting at the very beginning, the book takes you through the adventures of owning and running a food truck. As an owner of one in Greece for the past five years, it was still useful, although most references were for the US market

    • Worth Buying
Format: Paperback
After reading some of the other reviews which were mixed, I went ahead and purchased the book and glad that I did! It is, as stated, "Running a Food Truck for Dummies" so if you are expecting advanced information, you might be disappointed. However, as a Novice, I felt as thought his book was very informative and well worth reading. I had an opportunity to speak to a Food Truck/Trailer Entrepreneur who is quite successful in the field and he actually recommended that I pick this book up as it is one that he has used in the past and felt it had quite a good amount of value. After purchasing and reading "RFTfD" it has opened my eyes to the traveling food business and made me realize something's I had not even considered. NOTE: If you are someone who loves colored illustrations, etc. this book will leave you wanting, but the way that it is laid out is most definitely easy to follow, henceforth... For Dummies! ... show more

    • Extremely basic F&B
Format: Paperback
As a professional f&b consultant- I bought this out of Curiosity. It’s extremely basic. Might be OK for someone who has no education and management of food and beverage. However, I did not find it to be totally specific for a food truck..
