In Brazil, in the context of globalization, many entrepreneurs have seen the opportunity to undertake and open their first restaurant in a different model, with direct contact with the public, without the need to acquire a commercial point or other costs related to the sector. Thus, the first food trucks appeared, first in the city of São Paulo, with many entrepreneurs copying the successful model in New York and other American cities.
However, the profits of entrepreneurs who have invested in this type of business have begun to decline due to market saturation. Yet, according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), restaurant meals account for an average of 31.1% of total spending by Brazilian families and, depending on the location where the food truck is established and partnerships with other events (such as music, beer and cultural festivals), they can still generate significant profits with a relatively small investment in the food service market.
