Smart Parents Serve Coffee from a Food Truck at School Drop-Off
It’s early morning, and let’s be real — everyone is tired. You pull up to the school drop-off lane, bracing yourself for a monotonous wait when suddenly, what’s that? A food truck? Serving coffee? At one school, this delightful surprise is a reality, thanks to two savvy parents who have cracked one of the best business ideas out there.
Let’s hope this trend sweeps across the nation because honestly, we’re a little envious. According to reports, Andy and Lisa Miller identified a gap in the market and jumped right in. When they relocated to North Carolina from Texas five years ago, they launched a food truck as a flexible side gig to connect with their community. And just like that, “Caffeine on the Go” was born.
The concept of setting up shop at their child’s school was Andy’s brainchild. Lisa shares, “One day, while waiting to pick up our daughter, Andy noticed all the cars idling in line. He thought it would be so nice to grab a drink without leaving the line. Plus, he remembered how hard it was for me as a teacher to find a good cup of coffee nearby.” And thus, the coffee truck was born.
Fellow parent Sarah Johnson took to social media to rave about the food truck, declaring it “the best addition ever to the morning routine” — and she might just be right. Sarah recounted her experience, saying, “I spotted the food truck at the back of the car line. You know those lines can feel like a military operation — don’t break rank, don’t cut in — but could it really be a food truck?”
Oh yes, it was indeed. After dropping off her twin first-graders, Sarah seized the opportunity. “On the first day, I arrived about ten minutes early and marched right up to that little truck, debit card ready.” Lisa mentions that their truck is cleverly parked at the edge of the lot, ensuring the drop-off line remains undisturbed. Parents can grab their caffeine fix before or after drop-off, because we all know how delicate the balance of a smooth car line is.
This is pure genius. Sure, some parents might have their coffee at home, but many of us are scrambling out the door, barely managing to get the kids to school on time — and certainly not having our daily dose of caffeine. If only we had a food truck with fresh brews waiting for us during those frantic mornings, it would be nothing short of a miracle.
As Sarah enthusiastically stated, “After sending my kiddos off with a smile, I took a long sip of my coffee and felt ready to tackle the day.” Absolutely! Let’s make this a nationwide phenomenon so we can all enjoy a little happiness.
