Food is essential and the most critical aspect of our life for most people around the world! People tend to take it a bit lightly in our country. Mobile food trucks in this regard are involved in making and service delicious home-cooked food anywhere you desire. At Texas Cart Builder, we set out to consult and build mobile food trucks and end-to-end critical solutions to various clients in the F&B industry! We always strive to work on the best concepts of food trucks that we integrate into the food trucks we make for our clients. You probably tried various mouth-watering cuisines that are prepared and served to consumers. But do you ever try to understand the back-end process of a food manufacturing business? Some of them are:
Deciding the right vehicle
You probably decide the menu you want to serve to your consumers. You need a food truck based on the given menu. We are the leading food truck manufacturer in Houston, Texas, and produce the commercial food truck vehicle which fits your requirements, ensuring smooth operation. At the primary stage, we help you decide the size of your food truck and customize it as per your specific need. Apart from the gas-fuel van, there are a lot of vehicles on the market as well. Considering that food trucks are only found in urban cities and establishments, buying a medium-size car could be even more beneficial in better movement, and managing & catering to large footfalls is easier. To save costs, we help you start with a refurbished truck or van that will cost less than the new one. We also assure that such vehicles have proper fitness certificates, registration, road tax receipt, and insurance.
Deciding the precise spot
Selling points are very much crucial for a mobile food truck business. You should select a place that may not have similar food vendors around! Ensure that the selling point you choose has a regular flow of traffic. The growing food-truck culture, food-truck parks, liberal constraints in metro cities make them very much popular. Many opt for ‘stand-alone’ spots as well to keep them stay away from the competition. Areas with corporate offices and educational institutes, sports grounds are known to be the hot spots for food trucks. Ensure that the location you select is easily accessible & visible on Google Maps.
Interior & Layout
The kitchen in a mobile food truck is a place where all the magic happens! We make the perfect kitchen layout where all the planning will get confirmed. We know that the interior of your food truck will have the most significant impact on your staff, customer service, and, most importantly, on your overall turnover. Comfort design is the number one consideration that we consider while designing your kitchen space. We assure your kitchen was designed for maximum labor efficiency, safety, functionality, and plenty of space to move freely. It will reduce fatigue and workplace injuries as well.

Billing & Inventory Management
