Regulatory
Regulations around food trucks can very wildly depending on locations. They must meet many similar codes and regulations that restaurants do because of food safely laws(“How to Start a Retail Food Business”) . They must also be knowledgeable able of all of the local sanitation regulations. A lack of regulations though is linked with a growth in the industry (Odendahl 2012). Vending laws also play a big part, when and where can your truck operate? Your location influence this a lot. Liz Leslie (2013) used Indianapolis as an example on how regulations influence the food truck business;
“Two years ago, a city ordinance threatened the burgeoning food truck scene by prohibiting vendors from selling food between 10:00pm and 6:00am. Since the initial brouhaha, Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard has largely been on the side of food trucks. Now, with its low regulation, Indianapolis is seen as a welcoming town for food trucks, as compared to other more regulation-heavy cities like Chicago or New York.”
A natural regulations that’s out side of any ones control is the weather (Gaur 2013). Rain, snow, and tornados can restrict when you can be open, and how many consumers will choose you over an inside option. The weather can also be used to your advantage, like an ice cream truck on a hot summer day.
Because they are like any other small business they must pay taxes, insurance on the truck and equipment, and any licensing fees (Jacobs).

In the modern world, almost everyone who has a smart phone – and most of those who have computers - also hold accounts on a social media company.

Both companies have established a presence on many of the most popular social media outlets, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Each of these burger-focused restaurants, however, has demonstrated a very different approach to their social media.

This industry which includes, baseball, football, basketball and hockey has the ability to generate approximately $8 billion in revenues annually. This revenue is generated from, ticket profits, media revenues, licensing fees for names and logos, merchandising revenues, endorsements, luxury sky boxes, parking fees, and concessions. One famous hockey team is the New York Islander’s (NYI), who became the dominant team after winning the 1983 finals. Their fame quickly diminished in 1984 when they lost the Stanley cup finals against Edmonton Oilers, four games to one. The Islanders have not won another title since that time which resulted the team to enter a slump that would be difficult to recover from as fan attendance and sales began to decrease for the team. With fans on their last legs the New York Islander’s management team must attempt to pull this team from the miserable slump they are in. Management must develop a...

Trucking has been a relevant career in the United States ever since the 19th century during WWI the army used trucks to transport goods to the soldiers. People in the towns and cities saw they were good transporter so as roads were built and paved more people start owning them. The Interstate Highway System was a big movement for truckers now they could haul there companies goods farther to other cities. The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 helped drivers who went on strike because of the price of gas to run and operate the trucks. Alex Debogorski was a long haul trucker introduced to trucking when he was looking to earn more money to do for his family. As he drove he realized how good the open road looks as the road meet the sky. Now he is on some of CMT’s episodes of Ice Road Truckers, he said If it wasn’t for his parents and wife he wouldn’t have made it. He also open the door for most of the truckers with criminal records.

That is the reason that it is highly susceptible to a huge number of laws and regulations in order to ensure the health and safety of the consumers.
Over the past decade, debates regarding the fast food industry occur frequently. Its substantial impact on the world has changed a way of life, specifically in the United States. The concept of the fast food industry was to create a method that would allow people to purchase cooked food at a faster rate than preparing a meal at home. This method was first introduced to deliver options to those who needed to chow down for lunch but did not have the availability to sit at a restaurant. Although this concept increasingly became famous for its low price and its aspects of social dining, most people are dependent on this method of eating for most of its meals. Most people are aware of its dangers it can have on someone’s health; however, fast foods’ marketing strategies allow companies to maintain it corporate power in the global economy. The most popular fast-food chain is undoubtedly McDonalds.
