Fixed Location Beats Roaming

High-foot-traffic areas reward consistency. If you can secure a recurring spot near offices or transit stops, build your weekly schedule around it. Regular customers drive more revenue than novelty seekers.

Young Market Dynamics

Median age under 32 and solid walkability is a good combination for street food. Late lunch and post-work hours tend to outperform breakfast in younger markets. Social media discovery works here too.
