Coffee, Cash, and Freedom: Transform Your Life with a Coffee Truck

I was a burned out paramedic. I spent 7 years on Albuquerque Ambulance working night shift for pennies. Needing escape, I got a corporate job. So then I became a cog in the corporate machine, working tirelessly day in and day out with little to show for it? Busting my butt to make someone else rich. I needed to figure a way out.

Finds Freedom.

Enter the Coffee Truck. In the Fall of 2014, I bought a 1974 Vintage Scamp Trailer and began the build out. No construction experience. No Barista Experience.

I spent months gutting the trailer and rebuilding it to my city’s permit specification. I scoured the internet trying to find out more about restaurant code, RV Water systems and barista equipment.

In the process, I learned so much about coffee, trailers, restaurants and the food truck industry. But my education was costly. Over $4,000 in mistakes…

In 2015, I launched Green Joe Coffee Truck and my life hasn’t been the same since.

My Coffee Truck Journey

My coffee truck journey has been an amazing and rewarding journey.
I work part time hours and make a full time salary.
I have the weekends that I want off. I sit down with my family to eat dinner each evening. I have balance in both time and money. This experience has been awesome.
But it hasn’t always been like that. I took a lot of learning to get it right. A lot of failed events. Broken equipment. Money wasted.
Having been through the fire, I want to pass those lessons onto you. So you don’t have to make the same mistakes I made.
Too many times I see new entrepreneurs launch only to go BELLY UP in a year.

Don’t make the same mistake!
Less Mistakes = More Profit

There are some really good reasons to Launch a Coffee Truck Business:
Autonomy:
Take control of your life and build a business that reflects your values and passions.
Purpose:
Rediscover your purpose and pursue your entrepreneurial dreams.
Freedom:
Say goodbye to endless workweeks and hello to a lifestyle that prioritizes quality time with loved ones.
Delegate with Ease:
Detailed plans for easy delegation, ensuring smooth construction.
Fulfillment:
Experience the satisfaction of building something meaningful and lasting from the ground up.
Passion:
Fuel your journey with unwavering passion and determination, knowing that every step brings you closer to your goals.
Work-Life Balance:
Say farewell to exhausting workweeks and hello to part-time hours with full-time income.
Quality Time:
Reconnect with loved ones on weekends, cherishing moments that truly matter.

Are Coffee Trucks Profitable?

The very first step in determining the viability of a business is determining its profitability.

Figuring out how much you will make has a couple of separate variables you need to breakdown:

  1. The Profit from Each Cup.
    This equation requires you to look up each and every ingredient in the cup and break it down by serving size. But guess what? We did it for you.
  2. The Monthly Expenses.
    Again, months and months of research done for you.. Here’s where my experience pays off. Insurance, POS, vehicle maintenance… I also added in the schedule for when you should maintain your coffee equipment.
  3. Start Up Cost
    Different codes/health regulations have different start up costs, so we gave this a range.
