Today, we’re diving into the exciting world of Food Trucks—a vibrant and influential segment of the hospitality and catering industry. By the end of this lesson, you'll understand the operational side of food trucks, their impact on dining trends, and the factors that contribute to their success.
Begin by showing a short video clip featuring a popular food truck in action. This could be a local Australian food truck or a famous one from another country. As the video plays, encourage students to take notes on what catches their attention.
After watching, initiate a class discussion with the following questions:
Divide students into small groups and provide each group with sticky notes. Ask them to list as many benefits of food trucks as they can think of. They should consider aspects such as convenience, variety, and community engagement. After 5-10 minutes, have each group share their ideas with the class and stick them on the whiteboard under the heading "Benefits of Food Trucks."
Conclude the icebreaker by summarising the students' contributions. Highlight that this lesson will explore the essential elements required to operate a successful food truck, examining factors like menu design, location analysis, target market, and marketing strategies.
By engaging with real-world examples and interactive discussions today, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of the food truck niche in the hospitality and catering industry. Get ready to explore the excitement and challenges that come with running a mobile culinary business!
