Street Spice Food Truck (Delhi)

About Street Spice

Street Spice operates one food truck serving five regular locations across Delhi weekly. Strong food reputation and loyal following but profitability inconsistent and owner uncertain which locations justified continued service.

Challenges faced before RanceLab

• Revenue recorded as daily totals without location attribution—no visibility into which spots were profitable vs marginal.
• Inventory management reactive—frequent mid-day commissary runs or stockouts during peak service.
• Customer discovery manual—Instagram location posts inconsistent, repeat customers often missing truck at new spots.
• Commissary prep inefficient—4 hours daily rental but workflow unoptimized, high hourly costs.

Solution implemented by RanceLab

• GPS-based location tracking with automatic revenue and cost attribution per location.
• Mobile inventory system with demand forecasting and FIFO enforcement.
• Automated location broadcasting across social media and SMS when service begins.
• Commissary prep optimization with scheduling and usage efficiency tracking.

Measurable outcomes achieved

• Location profitability revealed—2 locations generating ₹6,200-8,400 revenue but ₹5,800-7,200 total costs, contribution margin 7-15% vs 55-62% at 3 top locations.
• Strategic decision: eliminated 2 marginal locations, increased frequency at 3 high-performers from 1x to 2x.
• Net revenue increased 34% while operational hours decreased 12%—higher revenue, lower effort.
• Inventory waste reduced 51% through accurate demand forecasting by location.
• Customer count at existing locations increased 48% through automated discovery notifications.
• Commissary rental costs reduced 32% through optimized prep workflow reducing daily hours from 4 to 2.7.
