The food truck on the corner could be a brightly painted old-style tonchera offering tacos or an upscale mobile vendor serving lobster rolls. Customers range from gastro-tourists to construction workers, all eager for food that is delicious, authentic, and relatively inexpensive. Although some cities that host food trucks encourage their proliferation, other throw up regulatory roadblocks. This book examines the food truck phenomenon in North American cities from Los Angeles to Montreal, taking a novel perspective: social justice. It considers the motivating factors behind a city's promotion or restriction of mobile food vending, and how these motivations might connect to or impede broad goals of social justice. The contributors investigate the discriminatory implementation of rules, with gentrified hipsters often receiving preferential treatment over traditional immigrants: food trucks as part of community economic development; and food trucks' role in cultural identity formation. They describe, among other things, mobile food vending in Portland, Oregon, where relaxed permitting encourages street food; the criminalization of food trucks by Los Angeles and New York City health codes; food as cultural currency in Montreal; social and spatial bifurcation of food trucks in Chicago and Durham, North Carolina; and food trucks as a part of Vancouver.

This book adds to the discussion from Volume 1 by providing insights and stimulating new thinking about the changing nature of services and marketing, service work and workers, and service experiences during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, particularly focusing on services marketing. This book serves as a useful resource for business practitioners and academics in the areas of service management and marketing responses during a pandemic. Each chapter deals with specific current issues within these industries due to COVID-19 and issues that will come up post-pandemic. As COVID-19 is expected to change the service practice and promote the utilization of novel methods, such as untact marketing, untact service, telecommuting, alternative work arrangements, job crafting, and new work skills, a range of examples and cases are provided to elaborate on applying these emerging new concepts within the service sector.
