Over the years, I’ve interviewed food truck owners about the challenges of running a mobile kitchen. Mann has been spearheading an effort to bring more awareness to the challenges that food truck owners face in Los Angeles. Much of the conversation centered around a topic that affects many L.A. food truck operators: booking companies. More booking companies are moving to a “flat-fee” system that Mann believes unfairly squeezes food trucks, which already have small profit margins. Mann is not optimistic about the future of food trucks in Los Angeles, including his own.
