Community served by food trucks benefits in different ways. Firstly, as presented by Ninan (2013), food trucks are built for convenience since they can be positioned in various strategic areas to reduce the distance lunch-breakers use to their immobile food-destinations. Secondly, late night drinkers can have access to fresh, quick take away foods without having to travel long distances in search for a possible open hotels or restaurants.
