Probably on price.
Taco bell is hella overpriced, but I'm sure that just gives an excuse to the other scumbags to charge even more. I'm always disgusted at the prices food trucks charge vs. the quality of food they shit out.
Useful idiots gonna useful idiot ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Food truck food prices are indeed insane, but it's even crazier how much the food trucks themselves cost to own and operate. It takes years of hard work running them before they even come close to paying for themselves.
TBF Taco Bell and other large chains can afford to be their own distributors and not have to pay interest on financing their vehicle fleets (although they might do that anyways if their accountants decide the interest rate is lower than the RoR of investing the cost of the vehicle minus down payment).
A food truck guy pays interest on his truck, and they pay whatever distrubutors and vendors charge for supplies.
