Because food doesn't sell itself. Hey FoodTruckrs, The countdown to changing fall foliage is in gear all around the US, and we’re seriously stoked here at FoodTruckr HQ for autumn’s official start in just four days. Though some of our favorite trucks only have a couple months of street service left before they transition into catering and events season, we know that many others will keep hitting the streets loaded with seasonal goodies and autumnal flavors, and we can’t wait! We’re also really excited about a big anniversary that’s on the horizon… ours! On October 1st, we’ll celebrate FoodTruckr’s first birthday. It’s been an incredible first year and we’re so thankful for all of the opportunities we’ve had to connect with food truck owners and aspiring entrepreneurs from all around the country. In that spirit of gratitude, we’re planning some awesome content to share everything we’ve learned in the past year with you. Stay tuned for more updates on this special event—it’s less than two weeks away! In the meantime, there’s been all sorts of informative content and business advice heating up the FoodTruckr blog.
