Good morning everyone. I am new to this group and am looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of you. I am at the very beginning of this process, and have lots to learn. Ultimately, I am looking to begin a mobile food service business as a sort of "retirement" plan for when I'm ready to step back from my current full-time gig. Bear with me, I'll be asking a lot of questions. I live in South-Central PA.

Welcome, PadreANT! This is a good time and place to tell more about yourself, if you wish. What sort of food do you like to cook and eat? Is your current full-time gig related to food? What did you have for dinner last night, or breakfast this morning?

 

C'mon in, take a look around, and join the fun! You've already started with your questions, and that's good. If you have any questions about how to use the forums or where to post, feel free to ask a host.

A little bit more about myself ... I live in South-Central PA, and am currently a full-time pastor at a local church. I have been doing that for the last 17 years. I also love to cook, and do most of the cooking at home for my family. I decided to go back to school and am currently pursuing a certificate in Culinary Arts and Catering at a community college near me. It has been fantastic, and it has led to my thinking that when the time comes for me to step back from full-time ministry, I would want to open my food truck business. I am thinking trailer to begin because of the lower start-up costs than a full-blown food truck. So I am still in the beginning research phase of all of this, and trying to learn as much as possible. I am looking forward to everyone's insight.

Welcome.

We are almost neighbors!

Have you considered other food-ish options like catering etc which could have a lower start-up cost?

Or pop up in underused venue?
