  • an awesome book for your money
Format: Paperback
I only knew certain aspects of this industry before reading up on it. This is actually my first "For Dummies" book. I'd never buy a "For Dummies" book in my life, I used to say...but after reading some free pages online, I had to get it. It doesn't cover "everything" but it covers enough overall stuff to keep you from being "in the dark" about what's going on. ... show more

  • There Are Better Books
Format: Paperback
Thankfully, looking back now I never went into opening a food truck. Not because of this book, but because of a deal that fell through with two family members. However, this book does not explain certain "specialized" aspects of the food truck business in any great detail. I was interested in organizing an ice cream/snack truck. There are general ideas in here to get one started, but if you are looking for a more in-depth plan, take my advice, go with a different, slightly more costly book. You essentially get what you pay for. ... show more
