Link DetailsFood trucks measures refined The Tourism Commission announced today a new round of measures to be launched to further enhance the flexibility of the Food Truck Pilot Scheme.
The announced refinements follow a mid-term review on the operation of food trucks nearly a year after the start of the operation.
Three trucks recorded gross revenue between $2 million and $2.5 million, three between $1.5 million and $2 million, five between $1 million and $1.5 million and three booked less than $1 million, according to business data from the operators as of December 24 last year.
The commission said the operating performance of three food trucks was considered satisfactory when compared with data on take-away shops or cafes which employ fewer than 10 staff.
Three food trucks, namely Ho Yuen Express, Pineapple Canteen and Table Seven X W. Burger, managed to open physical shops last year, the commission added.
Incoming measures include an increase in optional operating venues for the trucks, such as two spots at The Boxes shopping complex in San Tin. The two spaces will be available in February.
Other measures allow truck operators more flexibility. The commission said it is open to allowing more operating venues.
In measures introduced last year, four new venues were made available for the trucks to operate in the daytime and evening on the same day, while six of the eight designated venues were turned into optional ones.
The commission added the business performance of the food trucks will be closely monitored to determine the way forward. |
