While executing a fundraising event in a community park for a non-profit, the generator that was to be used by the food truck as well as the shaved ice vendor failed. With 30 minutes to start time, I had to quickly problem solve and found a local Home Depot that rented generators. In 15 minutes, we had a generator and both vendors were ready to serve.
