Everything about Mobile Catering totally explained
Mobile catering is the business of selling prepared food from some sort of
vehicle. It is a feature of
urban culture in many countries.
Types of vehicles
Street cart
A food cart is a motorless
trailer that can be hauled (by
automobile,
bicycle, or hand) to the
point of sale, often a public
sidewalk or
park. Carts typically have an onboard heating or
refrigeration system to keep the food ready for consumption. Foods and beverages often served from carts include
Food truck
A catering truck enables a vendor to sell a larger volume than a cart and to reach a larger market. The service is similar; the truck carries a stock of prepared foods that customers can buy.
Ice cream vans are a familiar example of a catering truck in the United States and
United Kingdom.
Mobile kitchen
A mobile kitchen is a modified
van with a built-in
grill,
deep fryer, or other cooking equipment. It offers more flexibility in the menu since the vendor can prepare food to order as well as fresh foods in advance. A vendor can choose to park the van in one place, as with a cart, or to broaden the business's reach by driving the van to several customer locations. Examples of mobile kitchens include
taco trucks on the
west coast of the United States, especially
Southern California, and
fish and chips vans in the
United Kingdom.
Concession trailer
A
concession trailer has preparation equipment like a mobile kitchen, but it can't move on its own. As such it's suited for events lasting several days, such as
funfairs.
Non-commercial uses
In addition to being operated as private businesses, mobile catering vehicles are also used after
natural disasters to feed people in areas with damaged
infrastructure. The
Salvation Army has several mobile kitchens that it uses for this purpose.
