Pizza By the Road Side! How About by the Arabian Sea side in Kerala

 

I recently came across this video of a father, daughter and wife selling pizza by the roadside. There are many lessons from this video for food truck owners, food chefs and home cooks: 

1. In the video, the 65 year old main hand says that  he learnt to make pizza recently. ( So, what are you complaining about? )

2. The pizza over fixed in the mobile food-vechile is a homemade oven. No fancy branded stuff.( Start with what you have) 

3. One thing I found great about the pizza unit is their service. Here, they provide customers with chairs to sit while they wait for their turn, umbrellas, and even mosquito coils are placed at different points where customers wait to get the pizza.

In contrast to this, here's something we typically see here.  ( Recently at a supermarket in Trivandrum, I asked the counter staff if they had charger to charge my mobile. I had just booked an auto and by them my phone went dead). The lady just pointed out to the socket, but no charger! This kind of approach has happened to me many a times. Most shopkeepers don't have a plan for such a contingency! ( In shopping centres to even salons, they should keep couple of chargers so that customers can use it when their charge is down or like my case, when the phone is dead) ( Provide exception care of your customers - think of their need and make arrangement to fulfill the need)

4. The work is delegated well and organized with the family. ( Right delegation is important)

5. Process and planning. Timer is used to alert and the orders are labeled and attached to the metal area so that it's visible). ( Use such devices in your kitchen)

6. They use something like a bento box to pack pizza. Seeing the pizza, my mouth was drooling.  ( Packaging also matters)

7. Make shift facility on four-wheels is pulled by a quad bike. The 65 year old drives and brings it in place and makes sure all things are arranged to the right location. ( All you need is the strong desigre

Suggestion for Trivandrum food truck owners! Start a Pizza Unit on the Wheels

What if someone introduces such a concept in Trivandrum. So, instead everyone making shawarma or rolls or grills or alfarm, why not introduce hot and fresh pizza from a small truck! 


Another plan for Latin Churches to bring Italian pizza making Priests to Train our people!
