As someone who works in food truck manufacturing, one of the most asked questions I receive is “Can you provide me with a food truck layout?” This is so important. No food truck build is started without a carefully drafted floor plan, to ensure our customers are satisfied. In smaller kitchen spaces, it is imperative that every square inch is used with purpose.
2. The layout you
choose for your
food truck build
depends on three
factors:
• Kitchen flow
• The size of the
appliances
• Balance.
3. If you spend time
working in a kitchen
you probably have a
pretty firm idea of
the flow you want,
especially during
peak times.
Our team will accommodate
your ideal layout to the best of
our abilities.
FLOW
4. Another important
factor is the size of
the appliances in
your custom food
truck.
Convection ovens, pizza ovens,
large prep tables, and
appliances that have doors
require a large amount of space
and require careful considered
during the layout process.

5. Lastly, we consider
the overall balance
of a layout.
Gas appliances tend to go under
the hood along the back wall
where there is more space than
the service window side. We
then consider the weight of
these appliances, and how to
create good balance. Often, we
put sinks and fresh/grey water
tanks opposite the cooking
equipment, and put
refrigeration appliances away
from the wheel wells, so they
can be at the appropriate and
not raised up.
