5 Essential Tips You Can't Overlook When Building a Food Truck

Manufacturing food trucks involves many critical considerations. Some are obvious, but others are less so. One of the first things under consideration is cooking and food preservation equipment. Depending on the food being prepared, they could include grills, griddles, and ovens. Indeed, they’ll need some type of refrigeration and possibly even a freezer.
