subject: Mobile Kitchen and Concession Options [print this page] There are many variations and options available when deciding on a source for your concession equipment or mobile kitchen. This is some of the available sources for customizing a mobile kitchen and some of the abilities they possess.
Customizing a step van into a concession business is nothing new, yet it is as easy as ever to get started. A step van, also known as a multiple stop truck or delivery van, are a light duty to medium duty truck created for delivering to local businesses or residences. However, it can be a powerful tool once converted to serve food. Vending operators frequently use this as their means of operating a concession business. It is somewhat similar to the trucks used by such companies as UPS or FedEx. There is enough room to easily stand for hours while serving customers while small enough to stay mobile.
The possibilities available when building a concession trailer while using a box trailer, also known as a cargo trailer or an enclosed trailer, are limitless. A box trailer is a vehicle commonly pulled by a powered vehicle. They are typically used to transport materials or used for recreation and traveling. However, it can be rather affordable to customize a box trailer into your own concession trailer or mobile kitchen. The space alone can allow one to allocate for a much larger crowd, as such you will see this type of concession business more in semi permanent locations or catering at large events.
Converting a fifth wheel trailer into a concession trailer wheel be similar to that of a box trailer. A fifth wheel trailer is a type of RV that is pulled using a pick-up that uses a hitch in the bed of the truck. The pro of using a fifth wheel is better maneuvering of your concession trailer along with some extra space.
The space available in a customized semi-trailer used for concession is well worth the investment if you are planning to host large events. A semi-trailer is a trailer that lacks a front axle. Most of the weight is supported by a semi-truck or by a detachable front axle known as a dolly.
Selling your goods via a concession kiosk should be a snap. A kiosk, or a small area set off by walls for special use, can be a great way to draw in customers by using unique ideas. For example, the kiosk could be a concession cart, hot dog concession cart, or even a snow-ball stand. These are all ideal examples of a successful concession kiosk.
Customizing a kitchen to fit in a small space is the job of a modular kitchen, which is a cost-effective solution for institutions that require a temporary kitchen. They can come in any size and can be set up for long periods of timeor forjust days at a time. A modular kitchen is a prefabricated kitchen that is manufactured off-site then assembled in its permanent or temporary location. The possibilities of having a fully equipped kitchen is available when using this option as the size of a modular kitchen can compare to those of a brick and motor restaurant.
