FAQ

What is the food trailer alliance?
The food trailer alliance consists of a group of Central Texas-based food trailers, trucks, carts and mobile vendors that hold monthly meetings to share ideas, best practices and are committed to the overall improvement of the mobile food vendor culture in the surrounding area.

Who is eligible to participate?
Any food trailer owner(s) or operator(s) who have a functioning trailer are eligible to participate in the alliance. We understand that there are many moving parts to the mobile food vending business (no pun intended). For this reason vendors are also encouraged to participate, and they are welcome to join the monthly meetings to talk about vendor-trailer relations.

How do I apply for membership?
Eligible trailer owner(s)/operator(s) can submit the following form to be considered for membership in the alliance. Applicants will receive a confirmation email within 7 days of submission.

Are there fees associated with the alliance?
The food trailer alliance is run on a donation-based platform. Donations are accepted via PayPal or at the monthly meetings. Gathered donations support costs associated with administrative, website hosting, membership decals and event expenses.

How often are meetings held?
Meetings will be held monthly, typically on Monday evenings.

How are the meetings ran?
Meetings will consist of three basic sections.

I. Trailer owner/operator – Agenda discussion followed by Q&A
II. Vendor Q&A
III. Patron Q&A

Each section will build upon the next. For instance, owners and operators will have a private meeting in section I, section II will add vendors for Q&A and sections III will introduce patrons.
