What is the organizational structure of a food truck?

There are a number of needs to be considered for a food truck.

1. Who plans the menu; what's going to be offered?

2. Who purchases the food and other supplies? Sodas? Juice bottles? Water bottles?

3. Who cooks the food?

4. Who keeps the kitchen area clean?

5. Who maintains the mechanical components of the truck, and fills the gas tank?

6. Who collects the cash and keeps the books?

7. Who makes sure that the money that comes in gets spent on raw food, gas, maintenance, business and use licenses, salaries, and other expenses?

So the simplest organizational structure is going to look something like this;

Owner (or manager, or boss); Jobs 1, 6 and 7.

Chef: Jobs 2 and 3

Driver: Jobs 4 and 5

In a LOT of food truck operations, it's the Owner, the Chef is the owner's wife or daughter, and Driver is the owner's son or other family member.
