Recently there has been a trend towards smaller, even more mobile food trucks. These smaller sprinter-style vehicles can have a few advantages to the business owner: 1.) They are easier to navigate and can be parked in smaller spaces. 2.) If you need to drive frequently for either catering gigs or deliveries, the savings in fuel cost could be in the thousands of dollars per year. This recent build is one such example of a RAM Sprinter Style van food truck with a low-profile hood. As you can see in the video below, the concession window and shelf is built [...]

How to Protect Your Food Truck from Theft

developer2019-11-27T16:11:13+00:00October 13th, 2015|Concession Equipment|0 Comments

By now many in the food truck world have probably heard about the stolen Taco Truck that lead police on an hour long chase from Salinas to Monterey! But what they may not have heard about is the many other thefts and reports which have popped up throughout the years. A Tulsan Family truck which contained all their savings, a Satay truck that was lost and suddenly turned up in Maryland, stories like these aren’t particularly uncommon throughout the country. They’re rather ideal targets for thieves, mostly handling cash sales and often parking in locations without security cameras. Which only goes to [...]

Winter Storage Tips for Food Trucks

developer2019-11-27T16:12:27+00:00October 7th, 2015|Concession Equipment|0 Comments

If there’s any such thing as kryptonite to Food Trucks, especially in the more northern states (and, well, Canada), it’s Winter. Temperatures drop, winds howl, snow and ice start to layer up, and people just do NOT want to be out on the street any longer than they have to, making the opportunities for full and busy lunches on the mobile frontier rather low. Which is of course ironic since it’s the only time of year that the hot kitchen climate is actually enjoyable! Business can still be found of course to those lucky enough to grab onto seasonal events, [...]

Food Truck Ovens: What to Look For in Yours

developer2019-11-27T16:12:41+00:00September 13th, 2015|Concession Equipment|0 Comments

It mostly seems as if food trucks use just about the same kind of range equipment and ovens amongst each of them, but the almost unlimited number of options can make actually choosing the oven that’s right for your operation extremely difficult. We want to go for something that ‘works’ but won’t cost an exorbitant amount of money; though dangers do then abound when going for ‘cheaper’ options that might break down or not even heat properly after a month has passed, if that. And sadly there’s no real ‘one-fits-all’ option in the category; otherwise we wouldn’t be in the [...]

What to Look for in a Food Truck Concession Hood System

The heart and soul of a kitchen line can be debated up and down, at least when considering the purely mechanical aspect of it, but one can say with full confidence that the backbone is none other than one’s Hood System. The angled vented metal thingies hanging over every line of ranges and other cooking rigs, no indoor kitchen can properly function without these behemoths overhead, and that includes Food Trucks. These are the chimneys and air vacuums of our culinary world, sucking up all steam, smoke, and other cast-offs from the hours we spend cooking up and through their [...]

If you’re lucky enough to be in a situation where you can have your Food Truck built custom-designed, or have at least bought something pre-used with an empty interior that needs filling, then you can fill it with the exact equipment configuration that YOU need and want to operate your truck’s specific prep, cooking, and food service style in a smooth, easy, and well-executed fashion.
