Office Park Lunch Route

Office park lunch routes operate like modern versions of lunch carts, establishing regular schedules visiting business parks, office complexes, and industrial areas where workers have limited food options.

You create a weekly route - Monday at Location A, Tuesday at Location B, etc.

- building regular customer base that knows your schedule.

This model works best in suburban business parks, office complexes away from restaurants, industrial areas and warehouses, business districts with limited lunch options, and corporate campuses.

You serve 40-100 customers per stop at $8-$14 per transaction.

Startup costs include truck ($40,000-$90,000), equipment, commercial kitchen, and inventory.

Revenue reaches $120,000-$300,000 annually with 22-30% margins.

Target locations include business parks with 500+ workers, manufacturing and warehouse districts, hospital and healthcare campuses, airport and transportation facilities, and suburban office complexes.

Success requires establishing consistent schedule workers can rely on, developing efficient service for limited lunch windows, building relationships with building managers and HR departments, menu variety to serve same customers weekly without fatigue, and potentially offering online pre-ordering for efficiency.

Leading route operators create loyalty programs for regular customers, promote schedule through office emails and postings, offer healthy and dietary options for office workers, accept various payment methods including corporate accounts, and potentially operate multiple trucks on different routes.

The model creates predictable revenue and regular customers but requires consistency and reliability.

Many operators prefer the daytime weekday schedule and repeat customer relationships versus one-off event service.
