On-the-Go Eateries

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.

3. Food Truck Trackers - Emerging technologies like Tweat It app connect youth consumers to real-world experiences like tracking the location of food trucks in real-time via Twitter updates.
Industry Implications
