Has anyone gone from ~8-9 years at tech startups (growth/product/mkt) to launching a small city downtown foodtruck/small fast food place? What are the biggest challenges and differences you have faced/would expect to face? I’d assume the first months prior to launch it’ll be mostly administrative stuff but Any advice and/or recommendations would be awesome to hear. Thanks!

I would definitely talk to someone at toast pos out of Boston. They specialize on new restaurant openings and often it’s understanding how to use technology to maximize streams of income

Definitely part of the plan. I use the consumer app, can’t wait to see the business side and can imagine its benefits.

You have experience in growth/mkt, so tactically placing ads here and there should be something you plan to be doing. Plan your marketing on online food delivery platforms as well. Competition is cut throat, make sure you consult your menu to diverse group of people and aim for a sweet positioning. At this point of time, how delicious your menu is as important as how you make your entrance as a new comer, make sure you use your marketing experience well

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
