Abstract

In this study of the operations of Food trucks in Pune, the authors have attempted to review in detail the food truck scenario in the city. Their inception, operations are studied in detail. A food truck is a large vehicle equipped to cook and sell food. Some, including ice cream trucks, sell frozen or pre-packaged food; others have on-board kitchens and prepare food from scratch. Sandwiches, hamburgers, French fries, and other regional fast food fare is common. In recent years, associated with the pop-up restaurant phenomenon, food trucks offering gourmet cuisine and a variety of specialties and ethnic menus, have become particularly popular. Food trucks, along with portable food booths and food carts, are on the front line of the street food industry that serves an estimated 2.5 billion people every day.
