The street food industry is booming, and with more and more entrepreneurs hitting the streets it's time we had a book to help guide you through the process of starting a street food business yourself.
Street Food Soliloquy is the only comprehensive guide out there written for a UK market by an active street food trader. It has up to the minute guidance on how to get set up, what you will and won't need, who to talk to, where and how to find work as well as practical advice on exactly why you should be doing this in the first place.
Topics covered:
+ Getting the legalities sorted, with practical details about what exactly you need, rather than just waving you in the right direction.
+ Planning your business. Helping you pick a food, the kit you need to cook it and the best way to make you food sell as well as long term planning and financial management.
+Working out if you even want to do this. It's a big commitment and a fair wad of money. We want you to know this is the right choice before you sink all that cash into a sexy little H-Van you're never going to use.
+All the hints and tricks we have learnt along the way. From dealing with painful customers to selling that little bit more every single time. Street food hacks you need to know.
+How to find work. There are hundreds of events out there looking for folks like you selling amazing food. You just have to find them.
