FAQ

What are the planning steps to build my food van or truck?

The first step is to decide what you plan to cook and where you plan to do business. This will determine suitable vehicle for your project. Trucks are expensive compare to trolleys to set up. Once you have decided to go with a truck or trailer, then you need to determine the equipment you need create the foods you plan to sell. A typical truck will have a fryer, griddle and burners. These three pieces of equipment will allow you to cook just about anything. The next three most used items are baine mary, oven, griller. Depending on your specific needs you may want to reduce or add equipment. If your menu contains  Dosa you may need to add Dosa plate as well. If you are looking for just pizaa truck , which will add a whole other dimension to your truck needs.

 

You then need to consider refrigeration, storage work tables etc. need to be decided on. We do not recommend  adding to much electrical equipment because you will need a generator large enough to power these items. If you need help with this step we will be glad to help you determine what will work best for you.

After these decisions are made then we start work. We will design your kitchen to your specifications. and determine what size of van or  truck you will need. We will also create a design of your kitchen and an itemized cost sheet showing you where the costs are and how your equipment will fit. This is only a preliminary stage in the process and it will allow you to change the design or size to what will make your truck works best for you. This process may go back and forth many times until you are completely happy with the end results.

If you build my truck can I provide my own equipment? 

Yes. We have no problem using your equipment if you are looking to save money using used equipment or if you already have some. But if you are buying new equipment we suggest using our equipment. We buy a lot of equipment and have negotiated very good prices from our vendors that allows us to pass our wholesale pricing straight to you!

Do you provide a truck and how much do they cost?

No. We are not in the used truck business but we can assist you in finding a truck. We have relationships with a number of dealers and can help you. The price varies widely depending on age and condition. Occasionally you can purchase a good truck for around rs 250000 but you will typically spend 150000 to rs300000 for a truck in really good condition. When it comes to your business trucks are truly a “you get what you pay for” item. Your business can make or break with your truck. If your truck spends more time in the garage , than out making business, is it really worth saving a few thousand?

How do you power my truck?

Powering your truck is a balancing act for sure. It is important to use as much LPG equipment and avoid electrical equipment when possible. All our trucks have an external power plug that can be used to power your truck when an external source is available. When it is not, you will need to use a generator or inverter. The size of the generator you need will depend on the electrical devices you have. We calculate all your power needs when we design your truck and will recommend the generator for you. It is very important to understand that just any generator will not work. Noise is an issue that must be controlled and a cheaper generator is simply too loud. You and your customers will be very unhappy with a loud generator connected to your truck. I’m sure you have been at events and become annoyed at a loud generator making it impossible to enjoy the day! There are no short cuts when it comes to power but there are ways to use the most affordable means available. Once we have designed your kitchen we will be able to determine the best way to power your truck. 

Can you wrap my truck?

Yes

How long will it take to build my truck trailer or truck?

Typically it will take between 6 – 10 weeks to complete. The difference will be whether it is a small van or truck and what our workload is at the time. Some custom truck will take longer than a standard design
