After spending years working as a writer, Kim Bayne was ready for a career change.  While writing for several food blogs, she developed an interest in food trucks.  Bayne didn’t have a cooking background, but didn’t let that deter her venture.  She opened Griddler on the Roof, a food truck business serving traditional Jewish dishes from pastrami on rye and matza balls to cheese blintzes.

Griddler on the Roof is based in Tucson, Arizona, and has a staff of three consisting of Bayne, her husband and daughter.  Bayne is starting off small focusing on catered events with the goal of establishing a presence in the community to grow the business.

Food trucks have become one of the most popular dining options for customers on-the-go providing an alternative to restaurants and other fast food chains.  Recent figures from The National Restaurant Association illustrate that food trucks produce over $600 million in annual revenue and will exceed the $1billion mark in two years.  More small business owners and entrepreneurs are opening food trucks not only to capitalize on the industry’s growth, but to minimize operational cost.  Despite the affordability, a substantial investment is still required to run a food truck.
