Food trucks have embodied in recent years a new form of catering: mobile, flexible and close to the public. Their strength is to be able to set up anywhere — in a park, a market, a festival or on a seafront — and to adapt their offer to seasons and events. This agility has a downside: the irregularity of volumes. Between a slow week and a weekend of strong attendance, demand can be multiplied by ten.

For teams, this pace requires rigorous organization. Variations in activity complicate sourcing and make stock management delicate. Bread, the central element of the sandwich, often crystallizes these difficulties. Without guaranteed shelf life, it dries out rapidly and loses quality. During periods of high attendance, shortages compromise service; conversely, excessive stock generates waste and weighs on profitability. Between these two extremes, purchasing forecasts become hazardous, forcing operators to constantly trade off between quality and supply security.

For food trucks, this flexibility changes the game. During the summer season, volumes can explode overnight. Added to this is a well-known constraint for itinerant restaurateurs: climatic conditions. By the seaside, ambient humidity puts products to the test, and a bread left exposed can soften or stale in a few hours. Panco® products, whether rolls for hot dogs or lobster rolls, or buns for burgers, make it possible to meet this demand without compromising on texture or regularity. Their flow-pack packaging preserves the original suppleness and texture, protecting the product from climatic variations that artisanal formats do not always tolerate.

Conversely, during quieter periods, the same packaging limits waste and offers better stock management. Breads can be stored and used according to demand, without loss of quality or the obligation to restart a full production run.

The food truck relies on a precarious balance between freedom and rigor. Being able to move, respond to large-scale events, serve quickly without lowering quality: this is where customer loyalty is won. With its hybrid approach — artisan quality, precision packaging and technological mastery — Panco® supports this requirement. Its buns and rolls ensure the same consistency as fixed-location restaurants, but with the flexibility necessary for food trucks.
