Ways to Make it Successful for Everyone

 

Ask if the food truck takes pre-orders. This way, families can just take a leisurely walk to the food truck, pick up their food (contactless) and go.

Encourage a cash-less system so that there is less contact.

Set expectations with the food truck that all their employees must wear masks and gloves at all times.

Remind residents that this is a grab-and-go event and not to congregate in close proximity to each other.

PROMOTE! PROMOTE! PROMOTE! Help encourage the community to come out and support local small businesses while enjoying something different and yummy right in their own neighborhood 🙂 A great way to do this is to create a Facebook event in your neighborhood FB group, emails, posters, mailers, and word of mouth.
