COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Cocheros shows the possibilities and challenges of street stalls
The only recognised brand within the street stalls/kiosks category in Colombia is Cocheros, which was founded in Bogotá in 2011 as a network of street-food carts offering fast food with a distinctive aesthetic and its own brand identity. At its peak, Cocheros claimed to have more than 100 carts and a presence in dozens of municipalities.
Food trucks represent a flexible culinary solution amid urban constraints
In Colombia, food trucks have established themselves as an attractive alternative to the high rent and utility costs of traditional restaurants, offering innovative culinary experiences, from artisanal pizzas to specialty coffees, and a mobile model that allows them to locate in high-traffic areas to maximise sales. Their growth has been driven by young consumers seeking unique experiences, as well as by their frequent presence at fairs, private events, and some shopping malls.
A fragmented market full of independent operators
Given the development of the street stalls/kiosks category in Colombia, only one player is known to have operated, at least partially, under a chain model: Cocheros. Beyond this case, the vast majority of operators in the category function independently.

Street Stalls/Kiosks
Small, sometimes mobile, foodservice providers characterised by a limited product offering and by low prices. Includes street stalls, street hawkers and foodservice kiosks where food is prepared in some way and served through a hatch or over a display counter to take away. Also includes kiosks and carts located externally or internally eg in shopping malls etc. As a rule, street stalls/kiosks outlets tend to be smaller than 100% home delivery/takeaway outlets, while menus are more limited, often (though certainly not always) with a greater emphasis on snack items, rather than full meals.
