Food Truck & Event Industry veteran Jason Faria is finally sharing his insights after 25+ years in the business.

His journey from working the PNE booth as a kid to BC's leading food truck management offers a unique perspective on our evolving industry.

In this first newsletter, Jason dives deep into what's changed since the '90s and what it takes to stand out in today's competitive landscape. With nearly 500 food service businesses declaring bankruptcy last summer alone, his timing couldn't be better for sharing these crucial insights.

This is just the beginning - Jason will be sharing industry updates, trends, and strategies in future monthly issues.

Whether you're a vendor, event producer, or simply curious about the industry, it's worth a read.
