The Grind
Your food. Your grind. Your rules. Scrub the pans, fight the weather, learn your regulars. Every sale has a cost, every complaint has a fix, and the rent shows up whether you sold a single burger or not. Turn a rented food truck into a million-dollar business — one day at a time.
What you're in for
- Start with $5,000 and a beat-up food truck
- Real overhead — rent, vehicle lease, license, permits, insurance
- Opening week is brutal: 1–6 walk-ups a day regardless of bonuses
- Build regulars past day 7 to stabilize the business
- Unlock a real restaurant at $40k, a chain at $120k
- Hit $1,000,000 and you've made it
- Hard mode drops you at $3k with shifting market prices and no fix hints
What you'll do
🥪 Build your recipe
Bun, beef, cheese — or load it up with bacon and sauce. Some diners want simple, others want gourmet. You can't please everyone.
👥 Read the customers
Named regulars leave real feedback. Fix what they complain about or watch your reputation slip.
📊 Run the numbers
Every sale shows cost, profit, and break-even live. Raise prices, cut supplier costs, or run meal deals — find what works.
🚚 Grow the empire
Food truck → restaurant → chain. Unlock chef, server, manager as you climb. 25 random events keep each day honest.
