• Consider mobile ordering. We live in an age when people want things fast and they want convenience. By enabling mobile ordering, you not only give customers the option of ordering ahead of time from their phones but also provide a number of easy payment methods.

• Have a social media presence. In fact, this is one of the best ways to let potential consumers know where you are on a given day. The more followers you acquire, the more people who can keep tabs on you, the more prospective customers.

• Alter the menu from time to time. Remember variety is the spice of life—especially when you're in the food business. Maybe go seasonal, see what people happen to be clamoring for, conduct a survey asking what people would like to see on your menu.

The key to a great food truck business: flexibility.
