Is Food Truck Culture Right For Your Restaurant?
Why are food trucks so popular these days? The novelty of food trucks means that many local governments have yet to invest much time and effort into proper regulation. The newness of food trucks can mean even more fees, inspections and red tape than usual.
The advantage of having a mobile platform to make food can also be a disadvantage when it comes to supplies. Restaurants lower costs by buying in bulk and storing food in refrigeration. Cold storage space is limited on a truck, so the best ingredients are the ones that don’t require much, if any, time in a freezer. The truck can resupply, of course, but that’s time and fuel spent running back to base. Give careful consideration to the menu items you’re considering for your food truck and how they balance against the ingredients needed to make them a reality.

Marketing a Studio Apartment: How to Make Small Spaces Appealing
Why would someone want to live in a studio apartment? One of the big misconceptions about studio apartments is that there’s a lack of basic appliances or that the living space is lost to appliances. Small appliances that appeal to the world market have existed for many years. But they have only recently shown up in common retail chapters, with more American consumers looking to reduce energy costs and due to space concerns. Even washers and dryers exist in small room units, which might speak to renters who don’t want to lug their dirty clothes to a laundromat or a basement laundry room. Upgrading these appliances to energy-efficient models is a worthy investment that will continue to save you money on energy costs for years, and it provides a great selling point when marketing your property.
Making the best use of space is one of the biggest ways to upgrade a studio apartment. Renters still need ways to store their stuff.
