I asked for advice determining I should go back to catering only and I’ve formed this concept what do you all think… I have 10 years of fine dining and gold club experience so luxury is apart of my cooking experience I’ve always wanted to perform the best catering but didn’t have a niche now combining my seafood niche and my fine dining I’ve come up with this concept I’ll likely keep the food trailer to store possibly cook on site or I’ll start gathering suitable outside cooking equipment so I can put on events similar to @Coconutcupnyc1 style of catering.

Should I go with Surf & flame or The Catered Crab ?

(I know ai sucks I just need the visuals to help me manifest)

Hey I’m the owner of seafood concept that is in Jacksonville Fl. I have 175k fb followers 15k TikTok 100+ k likes somewhat viral and that carried me for a while

I recently started working at a warehouse overnight because even though year one I made 200k (revenue) I wasn’t ready for it mentally or financially and blew most of it on “partners” “employees” buying a food truck and a f350 (mechanical nightmare) that’s currently in the shop and has been for about 75% of the time I’ve had it ..

I have 1 friend who helps and I’m kinda stuck unless I rent a truck in a residential driveway in jacksonvilles most notorious area I’ve never had any safety issues but it doesn’t matter when people hear the area. I only cook biweekly Saturday for now

The food truck I’ve found out has some minor issues the registration isn’t accurate the tag is valid and in my name the weight is wrong the floor is a bit weak and the ac went out and the pluming doesn’t work now in the dish sink only the hand wash is working it’s all around a bit dated but it’s huge and I can turn a profit but my food cost is around around 40-45%

I’ll post menu below

I pay $3 a lbs for crabs and restaurant depot everything else

Should I scrap

This concept and go lower cost higher margins

Should I try to find investors

Should I keep grinding thru this keep the night job alone until I can hustle up what I need to get back running in full

Should I sell the truck and dually …
