Four Bengaluru-based professionals open a thriving late-night food truck.
Story so far: In December 2022, four friends embarked on a food truck venture and launched KA05 Kitchen in JP Nagar to provide good quality, hot south Indian food. Located at a prime spot with a high footfall, its customers are primarily late-night party-goers, working professionals, and gig workers.
- The food truck operates at night between 9 pm and 2 am so its owners can pursue regular jobs during the day.
- The food entrepreneurs plan to increase the truck’s availability further into the early morning hours. One of the owners plans to open a restaurant eventually.
Origin story: It all began with two friends wandering through the city late at night. Through these rovings, they realised the dearth of late-night, good-quality south Indian food in the city. After bringing two other friends into their fold, the group turned their gastronomic complaints into a side hustle.
