Shared Food Cart Incubator Program
A Shared Food Cart Incubator allows 3–5 local chefs to share a single food cart, where each chef designs a small 1-3 item menu focused on their unique culinary vision. The incubator program provides the infrastructure and management, allowing chefs to focus on branding, recipe development, and food prep a without the burden of full cart ownership.
Key Features & Structure
1. Chef Responsibilities
- Develop a small, curated menu (1-3 items).
- Provide all ingredients and handle food prep.
- Train professional staff on food preparation and presentation.
- Build their own brand within the shared cart.
2. What do we do for you?
- Provide the cart, space rental, licenses, utilities, and insurance.
- Manage operations, including provide staffing, inventory tracking, and sales reporting.
- Supply a point-of-sale (POS) system, and handle accounting & financial tracking.
- Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
- Offer marketing and branding support.
3. Revenue Model & Cost Structure
- Sales are tracked through the POS system, allowing for transparent revenue reporting.
- Operational costs (rent, utilities, staff salaries, insurance, marketing, etc.) are split between the chefs. Each chef keeps they're net revenue tracked by POS. You will be able to track your sales live.
- Weekly and monthly profit distribution occurs after deducting shared costs.
- Each chef pays a base participation fee (to ensure commitment and staffing cooks) and a percentage of their sales (covering the incubator’s costs and profits).
