How To Keep Your Cool When Food Truck Lines Stack Ups

Here are a few simple steps to take to make sure you and your food truck staff can stay cool when the pressure heats up:
Mise en place
This French phrase means to put things in place, to prepare. Whether you are a classically trained chef or learned your cooking technique in your home kitchen, every successful food vendor understands the importance of having everything in its proper place.
Without attention to mis en place, things can get chaotic very quickly; and chaos in your kitchen results in long lines of grumpy customers.
Measure twice
You know the old woodworking adage "measure twice, cut once"? That applies to food prep as well, so be sure to double check the conversion rates of your ingredients.
