Find a food truck manufacturer

Store trucks and food trucks are becoming increasingly popular with restaurateurs, who see them as an opportunity to enjoy greater freedom in the exercise of their trade, while reducing their initial investment compared with a conventional restaurant. However, for this project to succeed, you need to find a vehicle that perfectly matches your needs.

So choosing a mobile restaurant truck manufacturer can be a real dilemma. How do you find the right company to meet your needs? How do you get the ideal food truck for your business, all at the best price? Here’s what you need to consider to make the right choice!

Criteria for choosing a mobile restaurant truck manufacturer

The food truck category

There are many different types of food trucks on the market, distinguished as much by their size as by their features. Electric trucks to be more environmentally friendly, vehicles with trailers, vintage or modern food trucks…. There’s no shortage of possibilities, and you’re bound to find what you’re looking for, whatever your needs!

However, the size of your vehicle deserves special attention, as it will have a direct impact on your business. Before approaching a mobile restaurant truck manufacturer, be sure to ask yourself the following questions:

  • What’s the minimum surface area you need to work?
  • Are you going to work alone in your food truck, or will you be working alongside other people?
  • Do you have a HGV license to drive a large truck?

It’s also essential to find out about the size of the sites where you plan to set up your food truck. You need to make sure that your food truck isn’t too big to take up these valuable spaces. The municipality may also have size criteria to be respected, so you need to choose a model that meets these requirements.

There are two main categories of food trucks, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The light food truck

This is a compact and practical mobile restaurant truck, capable of squeezing in anywhere, including narrow lanes. It’s ideal for occupying small spaces or accessing particularly crowded areas, such as markets.

On the other hand, it offers limited space and is generally designed to accommodate just one person on board.

The heavyweight food truck

This large truck is ideal for more ambitious projects. With its large capacity, it can store more food and house more cooking equipment, to offer a diversified catering offer. The heavy-duty food truck is also ideal if you’re working in a team, since it has the space to accommodate several people.

On the other hand, its large size makes it more difficult to handle, especially on small streets. Access to markets and other small locations can also prove difficult.

The type of restoration

Your choice of mobile restaurant truck manufacturer will also depend on the type of food you wish to serve. In fact, this criterion has a direct impact on the working space you need, but also on the work tools that will equip your truck:   

  • Baking trays 
  • Kitchen utensils 
  • Refrigerators 
  • Furnaces 
  • Etc.  

For example, a crêperie requires less cooking equipment than a burger restaurant.  

This will help you make the right choice when it comes to hiring a food truck manufacturer, because you’ll know exactly what you need:  
 

  • A basic snack truck.  
  • A well-equipped vehicle for elaborate cuisine.  
  • A food truck with a counter or table, allowing your customers to eat on the spot…  

The age of the restaurant truck

When it comes to buying a food truck, you’re faced with an important choice: whether to opt for a new vehicle or a used one. Each solution has its own advantages:   

  • A new food truck can be entirely customized, with a personalized design that reflects your brand image, and equipment that’s perfectly suited to your business.  
  • A used vehicle is less expensive and can be put to work straight away, without having to make any major adjustments.  

If you choose a second-hand food truck, be sure to check the quality of the vehicle, including the condition of the engine, bodywork and tires, as well as whether the technical inspection is up to date. Also make sure that the truck and its equipment comply with current standards, whether in terms of electricity, safety or hygiene.   

Your budget

Finally, the choice of a mobile food truck manufacturer will necessarily be guided by the financial resources you have at your disposal. Some manufacturers specialize in high-end, custom-built food trucks, with very high prices. Others offer mainly second-hand vehicles, more affordable but less customized.

Although your investment capacity is not unlimited, it is preferable to pay a higher price in order to obtain a vehicle model perfectly adapted to your activity. From the layout of the interior to the cooking equipment and utensils, your food truck must have all the essential equipment.
