Though cafes and restaurants have been closed for several months, food trucks have not gained much popularity in Latvia, Latvian Radio reported April 8.
The surveyed entrepreneurs mentioned that main obstacles are red tape and the large investments needed to create such trucks.
Crepes Cafe has owned a food truck for several years now. Spokesman Māris Višinskis said that before the pandemic they went on tours - to festivals, markets.
"When there are some organized events, – festivals, markets or anything, the arrangements are very simplified. The organizer of the event shall co-ordinate everything in the municipality, so that there is nothing to be done separately by each caterer,” Višinskis said.
