Food truck operator

Food truck operators run a mobile food business, cooking and serving from a truck or trailer. The work spans everything: developing the menu, cooking and serving, driving and maintaining the truck, managing supplies and finances, choosing pitches, and handling the regulations of mobile food, often single-handedly or with a small crew.

They run their own mobile food businesses. The role suits entrepreneurial, hardworking, versatile people who can cook well and run a business, handle the physical and logistical demands of mobile service, and build a following through good food and a recognisable presence.
