Starting a Food Truck Business in Temecula, California: Comprehensive Guide on Permits and Licenses

This is a brilliant example for those in #sustainablefoods and #altproteins of how you drive industry change. 1. Build a compelling, distinctive and differentiated brand in the market which delivers against the key category driver (tastes delicious) 2. Build that brand over time, using creativity to cut through against the big players, constantly reinforcing your distinctiveness and differentiation 3. Build sufficient scale that you can then persuade other brands with scale, including retailers, to be a part of the mission and change in the industry that you are seeking to achieve Your success means others will want to emulate, follow and be a part of what you're doing. But you only build that success by getting 1 and 2 right, and your mission is only a small part of how you do that. To a lot of consumers Tony's Chocolonely is just a fun, bright red, chunky bar of delicious chocolate. It just happens they now have Dutch and British retailers joining their mission alliance as well as the world's largest ice cream brand. That kind of combined scale piles the pressure on others to start or keep doing better.

If you missed this, Tony's Chocolonely has their first UK retailer joib it's open chain. 🎉 Tony's Chocolonely is one of the few brands that I can say really tries to embody fairness and and sustainable best practices through its supply chain. 💪 When retailers like Waitrose & Partners join Tony's Open Chain, they are commiting to their 5 sourcing principles: 1) Traceable beans - Bein able to trace where your beans are from, the bean to bar process, and under what social circumstances. 2) A higher price - Ensuring you are paying farmers a premium, above the certification premium, so farmers get a fair income. 3) Strong farmers - Buy from and co-develop professional cooperatives. Professionalizing farmers and farms to provide more power to structurally change inequality. 4) The long-term - Engage in 5-year commitments to facilitate long term investments. 5) Productivity & Quality - Undertake productivity, diversification and quality programs to improve the yield (without increasing illegal labor). Thank you Tony's Chocolonely for leading the way in this area, and doing the work that is often overlooked by may other companies and brands. Here's to more players in this field coming onboard. #fairtrade #antislavery #chocolate #cocao #farmers

GoSelfServe has entered ₹100 crore #GMV club :) Last ₹50 crore we achieved in 7 months We will reach ₹100 crore GMV per month by this year end. --------------- Quick look at the growth: 10Months to reach first ₹1 crore 8M to reach ₹10 crore 10M to hit ₹50 crore Just 7 more months to reach ₹100 crore --------------- Without prior experience in the #QSR segment, we launched GoSelfServe during COVID, recognizing its potential. The initial response and numbers exceeded our expectations. I am deeply grateful to every restaurant owner we have interacted with, whether they encouraged GoSelfServe or not. The insights from the restaurant owners have been invaluable. Most of the folks we talked to are our partners today :) At GoSelfServe, we manufacture our own hardware and build our software entirely in-house, both developed from scratch with real-time feedback from partners and end users. I greatly appreciate our restaurant partner' patience in dealing with initial minor issues. I recall one restaurant owner saying, "You are doing R&D in my outlet." Thank you for your support. Today, we proudly offer a product on par with those of top global companies. The seamless integration between our hardware and software has delivered exceptional results for every stakeholder. The vertical integration has enabled us to scale rapidly. We've invested little in marketing, yet our reach has expanded significantly, thanks in part to online food aggregators & content creators. Public acceptance has been outstanding. Thank you to everyone who has made GoSelfServe their go-to method for ordering food in restaurants. We started with standalone restaurants, our main focus even today, and now, with our hardware stabilised, we are targeting brands with a pan-India presence. We have onboarded five brands in the last four weeks. Thank you to our multi-chain QSR partners for your support and belief in our vision. Lastly, the GoSelfServe team has been phenomenal, managing the entire supply chain, developing the software stack from scratch, and closing sales, even when partners were unaware of the value GoSelfServe could bring. The operations team has ensured our kiosks are up and running every day. The R&D team for bringing out GoSelfServe to the world and stabilising it as we scale. The Finance team for ensuring smooth transactions with our partners & ensuring 100% settlement success rate. We've been bootstrapped for the last two years & recently raised our seed funding. Thanks to our investors for believing in GoSelfServe. In two years, GoSelfServe will be a brand to reckon with in #QSR, #Retail, #BFSI, #Automotive, and other sectors. Lastly, as an entrepreneur, reaching milestones like these reassures you that you're on the right path to making meaningful changes in society with your solution. We are building some kick-ass technology, which will elevate the CX and ₹. Ping me if you wanna talk about what we are building :) Chetan Patil Kumara Swamy Kariyappa

Second Post in a Series: 🥩 Carnivores can love plant-based burgers! 🍔 🌿 🤟 She was leery but loved it! Every other week we would drive the Jackie Mays Burger food truck to the Safran corporate offices and serve lunch. In the early days, no one had heard of Jackie Mays, and many if not most of Safran’s ~500 employees at that site were hearty meat-eaters. But after a few visits, the word spread throughout the building that “you just had to try” these plant-based burgers, and more and more meat-eaters became regulars. And so it was when Keisha visited us, enjoyed our food, and volunteered to be recorded (below). We would see a lot more of her after that. Thank you Keisha! --- Since 2022, we at Jackie Mays Burger have recorded instances of meat-lovers – yes, loving our burgers. And we've been truly humbled.
