Here are some advantages of food trucks over traditional kitchens: Mobility: Food trucks are mobile and can be easily moved to different locations, allowing vendors to reach a wider range of customers.

1. Lower overhead costs: Food trucks have lower overhead costs than traditional restaurants, as they do not require a permanent location or the same level of infrastructure.
2. Lower startup costs: Starting a food truck business generally requires a smaller upfront investment than starting a traditional restaurant. And the investment in terms of infrastructure like equipments, furniture, interior set up etc can be way cheaper than a fully fledged restaurant.
3. Adding to the brand value: Food trucks give a more trendy outlook to the brand as many of the big players are already into this concept. Also the ability to roam around invites more eyes when compared to fixed locations which in turn gives more brand recognition and brand recall.
4. Flexibility: Food trucks offer more flexibility in terms of menu offerings and operating hours, as they are not limited by the constraints of a fixed location.
5. Unique dining experience: Food trucks can offer a unique and exciting dining experience for customers, as they often serve unique or specialty foods and have a more casual atmosphere.
6. Ability to adapt to changing trends: Food trucks can be more nimble and adaptable to changing trends and customer preferences than traditional restaurants.
7. Opportunities for experimentation: Food trucks provide opportunities for chefs and entrepreneurs to experiment with new menu items and business models without the risk of a large investment.

In today’s variety craving world, hungry bellies are in search of something out of the box… in this case inside a box with wheels. Inspired from the western world, food trucks have been popping up in many locations in and around the Emirates in the past few years and the trend is catching on. Unlike the typical brick and mortar restaurants or cafés, these mobile kitchens bring in more transparency in the preparation and serving of food and add to the swiftness at which it’s served. Also, a sense of freedom to enjoy your food outside confined spaces make food trucks more customer-friendly. But the real USP of food trucks is the fact that they can roll out to any authorized location across the county. 

Food trucks intrigue all kinds of people, from the young to the old, with their limitless options. From fast food to gourmet dishes, speciality coffee, BBQ grills, shawarma tacos & waffle cones, the variety is just mind-blowing. A food truck gives chefs and entrepreneurs a platform to feed to their creativity and makes room to cook up new concepts. Unlike most traditional restaurant kitchens which have definite floor plans, the food trucks can be designed exclusively to complement a particular dish, style, or cuisine. The initial investment and the overheads for a food truck are way cheaper when compared to that of a built eatery. Furthermore, the brand visiblity a food truck provides to hundreds or thousands of eyes just by parking at various events is also a very strong branding advantage.

Be it right next door, down the street from work hubs, or at people's favorite weekend spots, these kitchens on wheels add a delicious twist to a city's prime locations. Food trucks evolve into a center of attraction, luring other commercial and entertainment platforms, thereby increasing the value of said locations by attracting more people. Hence many builders around the country are on a constant hunt for both famous brands and newly home-grown food trucks to cater to their clients.

Yes, food trucks are the future.

Restaurants on wheels or more widely known as food trucks are at present a rapidly growing industry all over the world. This concept that originated in the USA back in the late 17^th century has become much popular in recent times as new entrepreneurs are encouraged to start up their own start up restaurants on wheels at lower costs than a fully-fledged stand-alone restaurant.

We know that food trucks have been trending in the recent times but the question here is that if this concept of a business on wheels only for the food and beverage industry? The answer to that is No! In todays world there are many businesses that run on wheels and make equal or more revenues than stand alone businesses.

Here in the streets of UAE, we can find a lot more businesses on wheels than just food trucks! No matter what your industry is, F&B, retail, beauty & cosmetics, healthcare, fashion, pet grooming, salon & spa, grocery, fish & meat, or anything, can be converted to a fully functional business on wheels.

The UAE government welcomes all such creative business ideas and helps to convert them to reality. Here in this country creative minds are encouraged and if the idea meets the regulatory standards set by the government, then your mobile business dreams can be brought to reality.

To meet the high standard requirements set by the government you will need to consult with a professional and experienced modular concept fabricator. Always make sure you have a solid business plan, sufficient budget, and the right vendor to get associated, and of course a positive attitude and thrive. If you have the right mix of the aforementioned, you will be able to see success running on wheels.

The corrugated steel boxes that you see every day carried around on the highways, stacked at the shipping ports or rushing through the railroads from place to place carrying goods from different parts of the world to reach you, can be reincarnated into various types of structures of your choices. These steel boxes, popularly known as containers have given a new concept of construction to builders all around the world.

You may have heard of modular construction that has been trending in the construction industry all over the world but, what really is this concept of modular construction?

Understanding modular construction

In modular construction, the buildings are partially constructed in factories rather than done onsite. This concept is basically like building Legos where different parts required for the construction are built in various factories and are assembled in the construction site rather than the entire construction being done onsite.

How is using shipping containers for modular construction beneficial?

• The Time Factor:

Construction of a structure using containers like said before are like Legos so they do not need to be fabricated from scratch, instead they can be altered based on the requirements and placed accordingly onto the site. This saves a lot of time that goes into the regular hassle of traditional construction.

• The Cost factor:

When compared to a conventional form of construction, containers can be more cost-effective as they do not have to be made from scratch. A few of the areas that you can save on when choosing container architecture are roofing, exterior walls, foundation and flooring up to an extent. The containers, however, can add some additional costs like offloading and insulation, but overall cost-effective when compared to conventional construction methods.

• Sustainability factor:

“The three R's – reduce, reuse and recycle – all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away".

Container architecture definitely stands by two of the 3 R’s. This form of construction helps to reduce the use of building materials and other natural resources that would have been used in the case of regular brick & mortar construction. Also, container fabrication (in most cases) do not use brand new containers. The containers used here are mostly a reincarnation of shipping containers that are no longer suitable for their actual purpose for carrying goods.

• Strength factor:

The regular shipping containers are built to withstand extreme weather conditions including harsh winds in the sea which may blow up to 100 miles an hour and swirling water up to 40+ foot waves. Even after going through all these, containers can keep the goods inside as good as they were packed. So even though the reused containers may seem weaker than they were originally made to be, they are still strong enough to be converted into buildings with strengths par to traditionally constructed buildings.

• Creative Designs:

You may think that when using container architecture, you are restricted to a very limited area for design. But this is just a myth! With the help of an expert designer and fabricator, you will definitely be able to design your commercial or personal space just the way you want it in a container.
