Food Truck Entrepreneurship

The food segment held the largest revenue share of more than 75.8% in 2021. Fast food consumption has increased significantly in the U.S. owing to low cost, convenience, and a variety of menus & flavors offered. Barbecue, hamburgers, sandwiches, tacos, hot dogs, meatless protein, vegan meat blends and plant-based food products are some of the popular items consumed.

Food truck operators are increasingly adopting vans and buses owing to their easy mobility and lower operational costs, which is significantly contributing to the segment growth. A rise in demand for a unique consumer experience along with the online delivery segment is the major factor driving growth of this segment.

Upon completion of a Food Truck Entrepreneurship microcredential program, learners will be eligible to apply for licenses and permits required for an owner of a food truck. Learners can also take the exam and obtain a ServSafe Manager certificate, and Food Handler Certificate, as most states require at least one person per shift to have a ServSafe Manager Certificate. Further, in most states, all employees must have a Food Handler Certificate.
