How Mobile Businesses are Increasing Accessibility

We usually think of mobile business from a food perspective (as in food trucks), but there are businesses that help individual people and the general public by more than just serving lunch. Many mobile companies make services more accessible to those who may not have the time or transportation to go into an actual office.

Personalized Rewards and Recognition for Remote Workers

During pandemic-related lockdowns, businesses reported that over 60% of their workforce worked remotely. That trend still continues today with many companies instituting hybrid work environments. With that many employees working remotely, companies cannot afford to not recognize and reward high performance and behaviors that enhance their mission.

The Rise of the Mobile Business

The food truck industry has a pretty interesting history. It all goes back to 1691 in New Amsterdam, which is now known as New York City. At that time the city first began regulating street vendors for selling food from push carts. In 1866, Charles Goodnight invented the chuck wagon, which was one of the first completely portable kitchens on wheels. Then in 1936, the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile cart started rolling out their first portable hotdog cart. So that started the famous (or infamous) New York City hotdog carts that you can find all over the city. The 1950s saw the advent of the ice cream truck and the food carts that would show up in newly built subdivisions and outside of construction sites. In 1974, a Mexican immigrant named Raul Martinez converted an old ice cream truck into the nation's first taco truck, which he parked outside of an East Los Angeles bar.

State of the Co-Work Space

Co-work spaces are essentially shared workspaces that those perhaps without an office or those choosing to work in a different environment can use as an office space. Of course, being such a collaborative environment where many people gathered, made it nearly impossible to use co-work space during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic eases, we are seeing things return more to normal in the co-work realm.
