Your operation, translated into a mobile kitchen

Custom concession trailers

Plan the equipment, prep, storage, utilities and service opening around the menu and the way your team works.

The useful starting point

The menu is part of the floor plan.

A concession trailer is a compact working kitchen and customer-service point. Universal's existing builds support food preparation, refrigeration, sinks, counters, storage, ventilation, power, lighting, signage and large service openings. Each choice should follow the menu, staff count and service model.

Workflow

Receiving, preparing, cooking and serving should flow in order.

Equipment placement affects food safety, staff movement, throughput and cleaning. Start with the menu and service volume, then arrange cold storage, preparation, cooking, handwashing and customer handoff.

Customer side

The exterior is part of the business.

Service opening height, menu visibility, lighting, signage and queuing all affect the customer experience. Plan the deployed footprint and staff positions together.

Common questions

What equipment can be built into a concession trailer?

Depending on the menu and requirements, builds can include grills, ovens, refrigeration, sinks, counters, storage, ventilation, water systems, electrical service and serving windows.

Does Universal provide one standard kitchen layout?
