Food trucks offer restaurant owners convenience and flexibility
Implications - An increasing number of on-the-go consumers means a demand for more on-the-go dining options. Offering convenience when it comes to dining, food trucks have typically been prevalent in larger cities like New York, but are quickly growing in number across North America. Food trucks offer consumers quick and easy fare, but they also benefit the owners themselves -- they're less costly to maintain than a traditional restaurant and their mobility makes them able to adapt to changing situations and geographical demand.
