Nearly 20 Years in the Booth.
Now in Your Corner.
Mobile Food Experts was built by Borjan Jaksic β an active concession operator running 8 food concepts across 5 state fairs. He employs 14 locally hired workers every season and has put more than 100 people to work in the concession business. Everything we teach comes from what we do every single season.

From One Booth to Eight Concepts β Every Lesson Along the Way
I started in this industry the way most vendors do β with a single concept, a tight budget, and a lot of guessing. I did not have a mentor. I did not have a playbook. I figured it out one expensive mistake at a time.
I priced my menu wrong. I said yes to events that lost me money. I thought being busy meant being profitable. It took years before I learned the difference.
But I kept going. I studied what worked. I tracked every number. I built systems so I could stop running on instinct and start running on data. And slowly, one concept became two. Two became three. Three became eight.
Today I run Boki Food Service β eight concurrent food concepts operating across five state fairs and close to 30 events per season. I employ 14 people every season, all hired locally, and over the years I have put more than 100 people to work in the concession business. I also founded Boki Concession Trailers, where we custom-build trailers for other operators. I have a gelato shop. A European street food restaurant. A commercial printing operation that produces banners and signage for vendors across the country.
I did not build all of this overnight. I built it over nearly 20 years of active, in-the-field operation. And every single lesson I learned the hard way is now inside the system I teach.
Mobile Food Experts exists because I wish someone had handed me this roadmap when I started.
That is what The Concession Collective is β the community, the courses, the coaching, and the systems I built from everything I have done and everything I have learned. Not theory from someone who read a book. Real strategy from someone who is still doing it, every single season.
This Is Not a Side Hustle. This Is the Operation.
Most coaching programs are taught by people who used to do the work. We still do it. Every strategy inside Mobile Food Experts comes from an active, operating business that serves thousands of customers every season.
Boki Food Service
The parent operation β and the living proof that everything inside Mobile Food Experts works. Eight food concepts running simultaneously at state fairs, county fairs, and festivals across Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. From sirloin tips to gelato to fresh-cut fries β each concept is built for high-volume, high-margin festival operations.

I Built the Roadmap I Wish I Had When I Started
For years, I watched vendors make the same mistakes I made. Guessing at events. Underpricing their food. Working 80-hour weeks during fair season and still not knowing if they made money. Burning out because they had no systems, no plan, and no one to ask.
The concession industry has no shortage of opinions. But it has almost no structured education. No one teaches you how to evaluate an event before you commit. No one shows you how to calculate your true margin after booth fees, travel, labor, and food cost. No one walks you through writing the application that actually gets you accepted to a state fair.
So I built it.
Mobile Food Experts is the system I created from everything I have learned running Boki Food Service. The Concession Collective is the community where vendors at every stage get the roadmap, the coaching, and the support that did not exist when I was coming up.
I still operate every season. I still run 8 concepts. I still hire 14 local employees and submit 30 applications. Over the years I have employed more than 100 people in this business. Everything I teach, I am doing right now. That is the difference.
