My foodtruck RAWE Smoothies back in 2016! 

 

Happy Monday Foodies!

It feels good to be back in your inbox and with 2026 creeping up (!!), I keep thinking… maybe this is the year you finally take a real step toward that food truck dream you’ve been sitting on.

Starting a food truck doesn’t happen overnight — but clarity does.
And that’s exactly what Food Truck Foundations is built for.

Black Friday: 50% Off my Food Truck Program

I’m kicking off the end-of-year energy with something I very rarely offer…

My Food Truck Program is normally $549, but for Black Friday I’m giving 50% off ... and here’s how to grab it:

To get the 50% code, just hit reply and ask for it.

That’s it.
One quick message and I’ll send you your personal code.
It’s also the perfect way for me to hear where you’re at and help point you in the right direction.

What You’re Getting:

✔ 6 step-by-step training modules
✔ Practical templates, workbook & checklists
✔ 2 x 30-minute 1:1 coaching calls — one at the start to set your direction, and another later to check in
✔ Lifetime support (aka: your personal cheerleader!)

Everything I wish I had when I started my journey with RAWE Smoothies.

What’s Been Happening

Behind the scenes, I’ve been working with operators, running events, and chatting with heaps of people who are planning to take action in 2026. If that’s you too — you’re in good company.

Have You Listened to the Podcast Yet?

If you're in planning mode (or even just dreaming), The Food Truck Podcast is a great resource to tap into. The conversations are real, practical, and filled with insights from operators who’ve walked the path you’re about to take.

Episodes cover branding, menu development, budgeting, early mistakes, and the behind-the-scenes realities of running a food truck — all shared by people who’ve lived it.

Search “The Food Truck Podcast” wherever you listen.

A Little Push Before 2026 Arrives

If you’ve been thinking about starting a food truck, planning one, or just dreaming out loud… this is your sign.

2026 is around the corner — imagine starting the year already knowing:

  • Whether your idea is viable

  • What your menu should look like

  • How much it would actually cost

  • What gear you do and don’t need

  • How to start trading without blowing the budget

You don’t need to figure this out alone — and you definitely don’t need to guess.

A Recent Review I Had to Share

Here’s a message that landed in my inbox recently that honestly made my whole week:

**“Hi Maggie,
I just wanted to check in and say that I have finally worked my way through the course, which I found really helpful and insightful, and have been able to take some time in between finishing work and our relocation to Auckland to get stuck into building the business.

Just wanted to reach out and say thanks — the course really got me kick-started, and it hopefully won't be too long till you see me on the street food scene!

Thanks again,
Michael”**

Messages like this remind me exactly why I built Food Truck Foundations -- to help people get started the right way.

Post-it notes, chaos and tech! New webinar series + I'd love your feedback!
  Hey Foodies! I’ve been thinking lately about creating a new webinar series — one that focuses purely on the tools and tech that help food truck owners actually run their business smoother. Not in a salesy way, but in a “here’s what I wish I had known back then” kind of way. Like this one time in the early days of my smoothie truck… We were at a super busy event, orders were flying in and we ...
Do I need to be a chef to start a food truck? (Spoiler: Nope.)
For the dreamers without a culinary degree 🍔✨ One of the most common questions I hear is:“Can I even start a food truck if I’ve never worked in hospitality?” The short answer? Yes. Absolutely.The longer answer? You do need a solid plan, some market research, and a clear idea of what problem your food solves - but you don’t need to have worked the pass in a busy restaurant. Take Adam from Smooth...
