They range from simple concession vans to fully equipped commercial kitchens with grills, fryers, refrigeration and service windows. Ideal for catering, street vending, and events, food trucks prioritize layout efficiency, utility hookups, ventilation and health-code compliance to deliver consistent service in compact, mobile footprints.
