In 2007, I established a party and event planning company called \u2018Never Thought of That Events,\u2019 and in 2010 I began to offer my strategic marketing services to local businesses in my community. My motto is \u2018Why make someone else wealthy, when I could be making myself wealthy?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea to start a food truck came to her while having a conversation with a friend who is also a business owner. The two were chatting about their plans for the summer of 2013 when the friend mentioned an interest in starting a food truck. Sarita\u2019s eyes immediately lit up, her mind swirling with ideas on what would work and what wouldn\u2019t. While working as a waitress in a Spanish restaurant the winter before, she noticed that empanadas and smoothies were popular items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m much more of a businesswoman than a cook, and I knew I could make a good return if I focused on those particular items instead of the more commonly sold hamburgers and hot dogs. The idea that I could feed people, have fun and make money at the same time kept me in focus. Even better was the possibility that this business would be sufficient enough that I wouldn\u2019t have to work for another individual other than myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drafting a simple business plan, Ruiz plotted out a path and calculated if her projections for success were even possible. She says that creating a business plan as soon as the idea for a business hits, can be the make or break point of the venture\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people don\u2019t understand the importance of drafting a business plan before you actually start the business. It is a vital ingredient when you\u2019re starting to think about an idea, rather than waiting until after you\u2019ve already begun a project. I also asked the advice of a few individuals that I knew I could trust, who also presented me with the questions that needed to be asked, like \u2018how will I fund this,\u2019 \u2018do i know about the permit process\u2019 and \u2018is it an attainable goal?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She spent several weeks researching the mobile food truck business itself, without restricting herself to upstate New York, since the southern part of the country has an abundance of food trucks, food rallies and food festivals. After her research and projections for profit, she concluded that was fully capable of success, but she just had to figure out how to get her hands on a food truck. A new truck can run anywhere from $40,000 to $80,000 while a used truck can run between $20,000 to $30,0000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter one of our frequent brainstorming sessions, my friend and I began doing research on building a mobile vending unit, since there was no way either of us would be able to afford a truck. Following an \u2018if there\u2019s a will, there\u2019s a way approach,\u2019 blended with the philosophy that \u2018if you build it, they will come,\u2019 we took the small budget we had and built a food cart. We then purchased a used truck to tow it with, obtained the permits, licenses and insurance and I got my foot in the door of the mobile food business!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After two years, the popularity of Sarita\u2019s, especially the empanadas, has grown immensely, making Ruiz\u2019s short-term goal of an actual food truck nearly complete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHard work and dedication will surely pay off once I am in the driver\u2019s seat of my new food truck. Within the next five years I would like to acquire more trucks to add to my fleet, with the ability to offer individuals jobs with a bright future. One day, Sarita\u2019s will become a household name, and my empanadas will be sitting on a shelf in your local grocer\u2019s freezer. The only thing that will get Sarita\u2019s to maximum success is hard work, dedication and daring to be different. I have worked my business from the ground up, literally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Often taking suggestions from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SaritasSpanishSnackShack\">the business\u2019 Facebook Page<\/a>, Ruiz calls her customers a very large part of the support system that keeps her going, not only because they purchase her food, but because they give her the strength and encouragement to keep working hard. It\u2019s made customer service a high priority for her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that a vast majority of my revenue is from repeat customers, and I make sure to treat everyone with respect, no matter who they are, what they look like, or if they pay with cash or card. Everyone gets top treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As she continues cooking up empanadas and success with her business, Ruiz says that it wasn\u2019t just number-crunching, marketing and the typical business practices that helped her turn Sarita\u2019s from idea to reality, to a sustainable business. It\u2019s the lessons she learned to never give up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are similarities that can be correlated between owning a business and attending a school, including the knowledge one can gain, as well as the obstacles one can encounter. It is easier to give up than to keep going, just as it\u2019s easier to blend in a crowd than to stick out. Every day there\u2019s more knowledge to be gained and every day there\u2019s another obstacle to be overcome. It is what we choose to do with that knowledge and those obstacles that is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sunypoly.edu\/stories\/contribute\/\">Tell us YOUR story<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s often said that the best way to learn is through experience, and one business student at SUNY Poly\u2019s Utica campus is getting her experience first-hand, running and expanding a business of her own creation. \u201cMany of us, at one point or another, have thought about starting our own business,\u201d said Sarita Ruiz, junior, the &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/webapp.sunypoly.edu\/stories\/student-cooking-up-success-with-her-own-food-truck\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Student Cooking Up Success With Her Own Food Truck&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":126,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-student-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
