BBQ food trucks are one of the most profitable types of mobile catering businesses in the events industry and are popular, especially in the summer at festivals and outdoor events.
The summer vibe and the smell of marinated smoky cooked meats on the barbeque definitely attract a crowd.
So if you are thinking of starting a mobile catering business and are looking for BBQ food truck name ideas then look no further.
Read on for a few quick tips on what makes a good food truck name and 201 professional-sounding BBQ food truck names.
What is a good name for a food truck?
Before diving straight into BBQ food truck name ideas it’s worth taking a look at what makes a good name for a food truck.
There are a few simple rules you can follow when deciding on a name that will help your business stand out and make your company memorable.
Be clear
A good technique for a good name is to include what type of food you sell, or your niche within your name.
So, for example, “Bennys BBQ Truck” shouldn’t leave too many people in doubt about what sort of food you actually sell.
An ambiguous name like “World Eats”, doesn’t really say a lot about the food you specialize in.
Remember you will be trading amongst other food businesses and customers will be looking at you from a distance amongst the other food truck names.
So you want to get people’s attention from the word go.
Keep it short and catchy
You want a food truck name that is catchy and rolls off the tongue and doesn’t contain too many unnecessary words.
If you can convey what you do as a business with one or two words that is great.
Any more than three words can lead to mispronunciation or people just forgetting your food truck name completely.
Name + Food + Co.
There is a very good technique for coming up with a good food truck name, which involves a name or place, the food being sold and the word Co. at the end.
So, for example, Boston (place) BBQ (type of food) Co. tells customers the place of origin of the company, the type of food being sold, and the word Co.
The word “Co.” is there as it makes your operation sound more professional and can instill confidence.
Make sure the name is available
One of the worse things you can do is build a successful business where your name is recognized only to find out the business name has already been taken.
I’ve written a more in-depth article below (how to name your food truck) where you can check to see if the company name is trademarked or patented in the UK and US.
