Food trucks are a widely popular fast food restaurant alternative, whose differentiating factor is their proximity to customers. Their popularity has stimulated the expansion of available options, which now includes several different types of cuisines, consequently making the choice by customers a challenging issue. From data obtained via a market research, in which hundreds of participants provided their food truck preferences, this paper focuses on the problem of food truck recommendation using a multilabel approach. In particular, it investigates how to improve the recommendation task regarding a previous work, where some labels have never been predicted. In order to address this problem, different alternatives were investigated. One of these alternatives, the Ensemble of Single Label, proposed in this paper, was able to reduce it. Despite its simplicity, good predictive results were obtained when they were used in the investigated task. Among other benefits, all labels were correctly predicted at least for few instances.
