I have not worked with food trucks myself, but if these are one-off tournaments I would definitely look into that. The headaches saved from not having to deal with staffing, food handling, shelling money out up front, hauling product, etc. may make it worth it. If you get rained out, you aren’t out anything and/or stuck with all the product.
If it is something more regular and you have a concession stand, we used to make a killing off of French fries and cheese fries at our community ballpark. We’d burn up a few little home fryers each year ($20-$30 each), buy 20 lb. boxes of fries at the local “warehouse“ retailer for $18 or so, and sell an order of fries for $2.00 ($2.50 for cheese fries; it was a little pricier, but we just used Gehl’s for the sake of ease of use). We’d get about 60 orders of fries per box so we were making around $100 per box and going through 2 boxes a week.
