You have three parts of your Food Truck Business: the Truck, the Business, the Food Service.

Right now, you are finding suppliers for all your needs through various sources – the internet, word of mouth, your friends. FTO Expo has all these sources – sources you know and sources you don’t – in one location : Food Services (Commissaries to food providers), Truck Services (truck manufacturers to wraps), and Business Services (POS Systems to Websites).

Our goal is to make sure all your questions are answered, regardless of where you are on your business journey.

Some of the topics we cover include: maximizing profits, marketing strategies, how to obtain permits, general tips, and more!

No need to bring your truck or trailer. Just bring your enthusiasm and be ready to learn and make new friends!

Buy your ticket online to skip the lines and use promo codes! You can buy at the event, but online is faster and easier.

There will be 4 classes happening simultaneously, so sometimes a class may fill up quickly. You can choose to stand at the back or attend another session at that time! We are limiting education passes to avoid large crowds. Classrooms will be smaller to allow for questions and ensure everyone feels heard during the session.
