Hey guys, hopefully I caught ya after a quick bowl and your mind is full of clever puns and creative wording and you can help a friend out, I need to juggle some names for my new business / food truck.

I jumped off the deep end yesterday and purchased a used step van delivery truck, the classic food truck looking square body, mind you I have been doing some research on the topic for months and have been toying with the idea as long as I can remember, never being my own boss this is a huge leap for me



The idea I currently have for the truck is to sell a timeless snack that I believe to be a hit with mostly everyone ( in my opinion).... ready for the idea??

Cheese and Crackers

How simple right? A personal favorite snack of my own for aslong as I have lived, and I believe could be an alternative snack/lunch/drunk munch food. Currently the idea is to offer a few types of cheese, a few types of crackers, possibly adding sliced specialty cold meats. All precut / pre serving sized , ready to serve when I show up on location. So my only needs are refrigeration on site for the cheese, makes running the truck in the city I intend to alot smoother with alot less restrictions/permits

Any names pop to mind for anyone??

Ive thought about a name for about a week now as I made the final descision that this project was going to get the green light, I have to register the business and truck so its time to finalize a name for the business, which Im having some difficulty bouncing anything clever yet unique off my tonque. A little additional info is this truck is in Toronto/Niagara Falls Canada. Eh! If that storms up any ideas

Personally the best Ive thought of yet to date is as simple as the menu. "Classic Cheese & Crackers"

Pretty obvious what the truck is selling from a glance, 3 C's could be made into a nice logo for the wrap/vinyl to be added to the vehicle. But a close friend thinks the name should be more bizarre/unique. Im not sure what approach to take on this.

I appreciate anyone willing to bounce a few words my way, help me brainstorm

I'm not saying this is the dumbest fu@£ing idea iv'e ever heard but if i was playing Trivial Pursuit and this was the answer to 'What is the dumbest idea a human has ever had in the history of man?' then i probably wouldn't question it and roll the dice again......

But seriously, you can sell cheese and crackers on the kerbside and make a profit in your town?

You dont like cheese and crackers??

And yes, in niagara falls and toronto where food prices are jacked up, I believe families/individuals will be drawn to a simple meal/snack they know they like. Both cities have insane ammounts of foot traffic, tourists, people out for events.

And for profit, Ive worked out a portion size of 100grams of cheese (which is about 20 sliced pieces), and 20 crackers, costs me about $2.25, can easily sell for $5. Have not priced meats or even inquired about wholesale pricing from this cheese distributor.

Id also sell bottled water/ pop/ milk box which can be sold for a few times what I would pay.

Is it that bad of an idea? Because I just spent a few thousand on a truck....

Oh yeah, Toronto. French canadien? OK:
"Cabane à biscuits au fromage de Jack"

edit: Here is the google, you can hear some French bitch say it. Sounds pretty sexy, I'd buy one

Great, food prices are jacked up, now go in and undercut them.

You need a basic food van generator and some food cooking equipment, thats how the pros do it. Next you need to find 12 festivals and major events in a year, this way you will have a monthly income. The rest is down to finding business in local areas like office blocks around 12-2, schools 3-4 and somewhere hip for the rest of the evening and night.

You wont take on fast food with cheese and crackers, not unless your serving a burger and chips with that.
