To buy a coffee truck in Jordan, start by aligning budget with compliance: expect JOD 12,000–25,000 for a used chassis and JOD 6,000–12,000 for food‑grade buildout and equipment. Register the business with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply, obtain a vocational license from your municipality (GAM in Amman), secure JFDA health approvals, Civil Defense fire clearance, and staff food‑handler cards. Choose a chassis common in Jordan (Hyundai H100, Kia K2700, Isuzu NPR) to simplify parts and service; insist on pre‑clearance inspection in Zarqa Free Zone and a written build spec (stainless surfaces, sealed floors, 100–200 L potable tank, separate grey tank). Power the bar with a 2‑group espresso machine (3–5 kW) and 6–8 kVA generator or inverter system; add water filtration targeting 70–100 ppm hardness to protect boilers. Fit CO2 and dry‑powder extinguishers, gas leak detection, and roof ventilation. Accept cards and wallets (Visa/Mastercard, Zain Cash, Orange Money, Dinarak) via 4G POS. Source beans from a local roaster; hold milk under 4°C and log temps. Position your mobile coffee business in GAM‑designated vending zones near offices, universities, and events (Jerash, Aqaba); confirm daily permits. Model pricing (espresso 1.5–2.0 JOD, latte 2.0–3.0 JOD) and break even at roughly 80–120 drinks/day.
