And if the numbers say no? Ralph sits with you and shows you what has to change: the size, the location, the rent, the concept or the budget. With us, a no is advice. It is not the end of the road.
Is a food truck profitable in Saudi Arabia?
It can be very profitable, and it can lose money from the first month. The difference is rarely the food alone. A food truck lives on the number of orders it serves in a few short hours. Park where people already are and serve fast, and it earns. Park somewhere quiet, and you pay for fuel, wages and ingredients out of your own pocket. So the question is not answered by instinct. It is answered by one number: how many orders a day you need before you stop losing.
The food truck costs most people forget
The truck is the most visible cost. It is rarely the one that sinks the business. Write all of these down before you buy:
| Cost | Why it gets missed |
|---|---|
| Fit-out and equipment | A ready-made truck may not suit your menu, and changes cost money. |
| Licences and fees | They differ by city, so ask the authority in your city before you buy. |
| Prep and storage space | The truck sells, but the prep usually needs a licensed kitchen behind it. |
| Fuel, generator, maintenance | A daily cost that optimistic plans leave out. |
| Pitch and event fees | The best spots are not free. |
| Cash for the first months | Sales do not start at full strength on day one. |
How to work out a food truck break-even
The method is the same whatever you sell. These figures are an illustration only:
- Add up your fixed costs for the month: wages, pitch fees, fuel, maintenance, any loan payment. Say SAR 18,000.
- Work out what each order leaves you: if the average order is SAR 25 and its ingredients and packaging cost SAR 9, you keep SAR 16.
- Divide the first by the second: 18,000 divided by 16 is 1,125 orders a month.
- Spread it over your trading days: at 26 days, that is about 43 orders a day just to stand still, before any profit.
Now ask honestly: will your pitch and your hours give you that number every day, in summer as well as winter? That is the question the study answers, with the numbers of your own market.

Common questions
How much capital does a food truck need?
There is no single figure that fits everyone. The capital is made up of the truck and its fit-out, licences, a prep space and the cash that carries you through the first months. The study works out that sum for your concept, line by line.
Does a small business like a food truck need a feasibility study?
The smaller the capital, the smaller the room for error. The Verdict was built for small formats such as food trucks and kiosks. It is a full study with real numbers, priced to suit a small project.
Do you sell or rent food trucks?
No. We do not sell or rent trucks. Our work is to tell you whether the business is worth buying the truck for in the first place.
Do you study every kind of business?
No. We work only on restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens, food trucks and other hospitality concepts, in the six Gulf markets.
What does a study cost and how long does it take?
The price is fixed and published. The Verdict is USD 999 and is delivered in three working days. The Proof is USD 1,999 for one location and is delivered in seven working days. Timing runs from your completed questionnaire.
Which countries do you cover?
The six Gulf markets: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman. Every study is built on the currency, costs and habits of its own market.
Can I talk to someone before I order?
Yes. Book a free 15-minute consultation with the founder, or message us on WhatsApp. No obligation.
What if the study says Don’t Go?
That is the most valuable answer you can get. A no on paper keeps your capital whole, and it shows you which number has to change before the concept can work.
