That’s fair but if you’re paying say $5k-$10k a month in rent for your restaurant and someone rolls across the street in a truck and takes customers then what’s the point of owning a restaurant?
@johnlau743
Жыл бұрын
Rent is probably closer to $20k a month. The difference is that the restaurants have a higher profit margin of 12-15 percent due to alcohol sales where these food trucks only have about a 8-10 percent profit margine. The food trucks have a limited menu and turnover rate due to their size limitations. Food truck owners tend to make just enough to make a living, where proprietors of restaurants like Outback or Yardhouse make significantly more. There's a reason most successful food truck owners eventually move to a brick and mortar.

Government should never interfere with legitimate and safe free enterprise. The fact that the local government is even considering making changes to make it more difficult for the food trucks to compete should be illegal. How can a local government legally create laws or regulations to benefit one type of business over another type of business? Based on this report, the brick-and-mortar restaurants have long lines of people waiting to enter their businesses and yet they are claiming that these food truck are negatively impacting their business. If people choose to get food from a food truck because it is more convenient and faster then maybe those local brick-and-mortar restaurants should offer both sit-down dining and food truck convenience to compete with the food trucks instead of whining to the local government about legitimate competition!

Yes those restaurants are successful down there and we would like to keep it that way ... Outback, the Japanese restaurant, Gladstones, Hooters, PF Chang's and bubba gump's have all been there for over 5 years and I would rather have them there than a bunch of food trucks sitting around down there .. the food trucks are on wheels they can find a lot of different locations in Long Beach that don't have restaurants and need food trucks for people that are hungry let's put them in those locations.

The reason that people use food trucks is because the food trucks have good prices. As opposed to fancy dining that costs 240 dollars a piece. So this makes good sense that the food trucks are being much more successful. Rock on food trucks! 😀

Exactly what Mario said. The video also said the food trucks only have to a county permit. I think people are missing the point that the food trucks have it easier as far as regulations and proper taxes no leaves etc. It's a legitimate gripe by the stationary/B&M's. But of course the hidden agenda is they don't like the added competition. That's just how it is. Use regulation by the government to get rid of your competition. I don't blame them. The city state and county regulates them to death as it is. Then you see these food trucks rolling in not having to deal with the same level of bureaucracy.

I can see where both sides are coming from. The trucks don't need a health permit from the city, don't pay the same in rent, charge around the same price as the restaurants. Also though, the restaurants might want to cut into their revenue and pay their workers more and offer better deals on their food if that is a viable option. Maybe in the future brick and mortar restaurants will be less and less. Look at what happened to all the malls.
