Interested in taking part in our program as a student?
During your training, you will learn the ins and outs of owning a food truck from conception to purchasing your own truck. The ideal student will already have some cooking experience and the drive to start their own business. We can work with you on your schedule. The class is 300 hours and we can go at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Our Classes
Throughout the program we will have different coaching sessions by various professionals who will guide you through the process of owning your own business. Most of the sessions will be one on one, to get you the information that is pertinent to you and your unique experience. We will never have a class just to have a class. Every session will be built for your specific needs. Classes include the below topics.
-
Learn how to promote your business through social media and other forms of advertising. We will help you build a website and offer suggestions for logos. Our aim is to have your business built and a fan base acquired before you buy your own truck.
