subject: Guide to Mobile Kitchen Equipment [print this page] A big part of the mobile kitchen design process is deciding on what equipment will be used. There is a lot more to concession equipment than just cooking and refrigeration.
You can never have enough storage space. Wire shelves can play a big part in your dry storage space if you have the room to fit them. You can also hang wall shelves in spaces above prep tables and so on. No matter how much storage space you set aside for your mobile kitchen trailer, there will never be enough.
Your mobile kitchen will need the ability to wash, rinse, and sanitize. So a commercial three compartment stainless steel sink will be needed. You will also need a hand sink, so employees can wash their hands.
You definitely want a mobile kitchen design that can hold fresh water and dispose of any waste. You can be conservative when deciding on your fresh water tank and gray water tank. Just keep in mind that you will need a larger gray water tank.
Mobile kitchens need a source of hot water, so it is important to have space for a hot water heater. You have many options for this, though it is ultimately up to space and whether it will fit.
You can never have enough power outlets in a mobile kitchen trailer. Have them installed everywhere if possible. You can never know when it will come in handy.
Will you run your mobile kitchen off of electricity or propane? You can have a grounded power source at your trailers location or can have a generator. Now you can run your appliances off a generator or electricity but how will you cook? You could use all electric, even with your cooking equipment or you can use propane. It is all up to your personal preference and how you want to prepare your food.
It does not hurt to design your mobile kitchen to have a little comfort. Adding AC and heat can be a great benefit and will help with motivation of your employees.
A commercial refrigerator and freezer will come in handy and add even more storage space. An upright refrigerator and freezer is definitely the way to go. A chest freezer may be able to hold what you need but it lacks the application for a mobile kitchen.
A cash register is an important part of your mobile kitchen as it keeps a record of all transactions. Not only that but it looks professional and keeps you secure.
