Profitable Window: P3–P5

The cleanest read on the Trucks operating model is the back-half of the year after seasonal drag. Trucks earn money they just don't earn money in P1 and P2.

CFO read

Trucks are accretive once they're past P2.

P1 and P2 lose roughly $25K combined every year on weak winter sales and an annual fixed-cost slug (truck repairs, permits, licensing). From P3 forward, the operating model produces double-digit margins.

Annualizing the P3–P5 run rate implies the business clears its own P1–P2 drag and prints positive full-year net income. Closing the early-year hole is the single highest-ROI operating fix.

Section 05

CFO Reads

What the numbers tell us about the Trucks business heading into the back half of 2026.

COGS is structurally in the mid-20s

Average P1–P5 food cost is 25.1%. P3 hit 21% on catering mix. The cost line is in control.

Catering pipeline drives the lumpiness

P3 sales were 2.5x P1. Catering is the swing factor building a steadier booked calendar smooths the year.

Opex is the lever, not COGS

P2 opex was $44K against $39K sales. Truck repairs, licensing, and labor scheduling in the slow periods are the fix.

2025 P5 is not a repeatable benchmark

P5 2025 net margin of 32% reflected a temporarily lighter opex base. The 2026 mid-single-digit margins are the cleaner read.

Trucks are the system's growth engine

+18% YoY through P5 the strongest comp in the portfolio. This is where incremental sales dollars are coming from.

CFO line

Food Trucks are a true growth contributor sales +18% YoY through P5 and three consecutive profitable periods at a blended ~13.6% net margin. The drag is concentrated in P1–P2 (seasonality plus annual repair / licensing). Fix the early-year fixed cost load and the unit is structurally accretive.
