You came to this page because you know you can gain financial freedom with your food concept. Food trucks are a great way to make this goal a reality.
Food trucks, mobile kitchens, cloud kitchens, ghost kitchens, dark kitchens, catering trucks; All roads lead to Rome! The art of serving food in a mobile, affordable and convenient way has been the FASTEST GROWING segment of the restaurant industry!
Here is why:
- Low start up cost compared to a brick and mortar.
- I'm sure you have heard that in the restaurant industry it is all about LOCATION, LOCATION LOCATION. Well... You are mobile!
- You can still leverage from ALL the delivery apps like; Grubhub, Doordash, UberEats, Menufy
If you are here, you probably have tons of questions like:
How much does a Chef Unit cost?
Should I get a trailer or a truck?
The cost of building a fully loaded Chef Kitchen with all its accessories is about $60K on average plus the vehicle. Vehicles can vary significantly depending on brand, year, mileage, size and fuel type. New trucks from the dealership will range between $75K to $115K. A good used truck starts around $30K. We don't recommend you build a premium Chef Unit on a low budget vehicle.
Trailers are more standardized units and also more affordable. The 8.5'x16' is the best seller. Is not too big nor too small, is just perfect to get started. A concession trailer of this size starts around $37K. Can you think of any other business you can start with $37K? When you start your restaurant you'll need to add a zero to that number :)
If you want to build a cloud kitchen - also known as ghost kitchens or dark kitchens - we can also do that in a container. We think having wheels is an advantage but you might have a particular plan.... but yes, we can do it.
Also, if you want to build any other mobile business we can also do that. We have done a mobile hair salon, office, clothing store and others!
