From time to time a food truck owner needs to step back and look at their business from the outside. Try to visit your truck or cart as a customer, not as the owner. Ask some of your best or frequent customers what they would want included at your food truck in order to make it even better. Ask some of your employees too, they may have great ideas. Do they say you make it easy for your customers to do business with you?
