Abstract:
In Pakistan, a large number of families are sustaining their livelihood through street food
vending business. Likewise in other countries including European countries street food
vending can also be witnessed on busy road sides, commercial areas and under the
world known skyscrapers. However, the format of street vending and specially street
food vending is nowhere comparable among Pakistani and European countries. Besides,
not much has been done in this area, lacking innovatively designed and manufactured
products for the convenience of existing street food vendors. One of the main reasons is
un-affordability that elevates other problems such as lack of arrangements for waste
disposal and theft of electricity etc. This study is about to figure out a solution to these
problems keeping in view the Pakistani culture and values.
The proposed solution shall provide an opportunity for those unemployed people (who
are physically handicapped) and wish to start up their own mobile food units while
minimizing the existing challenges in the field of street food vending in Pakistan. It is
presumed that customized and affordable solutions can bring about profitable growth in
this area.
