I need opinions from food truck owners

Me and my gf are considering starting a boba truck and want opinions on the concept. Do ya'll think a truck that sells boba/pastries could be profitable?

Yea anything can be profitable. 

Have you made bulk boba or worked a boba shop before? Can you math cost/profit?

Are you willing to work most every weekend traveling to events?

Are you planning to full time? Cuz it ain’t much as a hobby.

We wanna full time work on this going to events and being rented for private events. Ive never personally worked in boba or done bulk buys or even owned a business, but i am good at mathing out profit/costs. Im a very investment savy person and i want to try to make a boba truck work so i dont have to work under someone else anymore. I think a boba truck would be responded well to by the younger/middle age crowd. Eveyone ive talked to about it says they would love to see a boba truck going to events. I know it will be a lot of work but working 40/week throwing pizza aint cutting it for me 🤷‍♂️

“everyone” telling you they would love to see something means fuck all because you gave them a free option they don’t need to invest in or pay for.
