To buy a coffee truck in Slovenia, set a realistic budget (€25k–€80k fully fitted) and source from Slovenian coachbuilders, used listings (Bolha.si, Avto.net), or EU dealers (Italy/Austria) with proper invoices, VIN, and EU type-approval. Prioritize HACCP-ready builds: washable surfaces, hand/grey-water tanks (min 60–120 L), 16A/32A shore power or inverter generator (3–5 kW for espresso), CE-certified electrics, and gas installation with certificate. Verify chassis/trailer weight (N1 <3.5 t) to allow B-category drivers and vignette (not DarsGo). Before trading, register your entity (s.p. or d.o.o.) at SPOT with SKD 56.30 (beverage service), file food business notification to UVHVVR, and implement a HACCP plan. For pitches, secure municipal public-space permits (Ljubljana, Maribor, coastal towns) or event concessions; apply early—fees are per m²/day and spots are allocated by tender. If importing, complete homologation and registration at an authorized office; keep the COC and equipment certificates. Choose grinders/machines sized for peak demand, install a water softener (Slovenian mains are moderately hard), and carry 2–3 days of consumables. Use a POS that issues e-receipts and accepts cards/Apple/Google Pay. Insure vehicle (AO), product liability, and equipment. Partner with Slovenian specialty roasters (e.g., STOW, HiKoFi) and price espresso/cappuccino at €2.00–€3.00 depending on location and season and daily footfall.
