I 21m am starting a delitruck, the startup cost for the truck will be about 20k that I already have saved up (8.5k for the truck and the rest for appliances and inventory). I am currently living in a small town in Sweden which in my opinion doesn’t have any good delis. I am currently employed as an icehockey player which means I have a lot of free time and a fixed income as well.
I will be selling different deli meats, cheeses, olives, marmelades, meats, sausages, spice mixtures and so on.
The plan is going to be driving around in my and neighboring small towns on a fixed schedule and also visiting fairs and markets. I will be offering catering and gift bag services as well.
Is there anything I should be thinking about or take into consideration in this process? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Can you run this business with a manager? Will you be profitable if you’re not in the truck.
In the beginning I will of course have to be on site but eventually the plan is for it to run by itself with one or two employees.
