From Concept to Keys in 5 Steps
Step 1 - Consultation
We start with a phone call. What are you serving, where are you operating, and what does your kitchen need to handle? We also discuss truck size and budget so every decision that follows is built around your operation.
Step 2 - Design
Our team puts together schematic drawings of your truck layout based on your consultation. You review the full floor plan and equipment placement before a single piece of material is ordered.
Step 3 - Proposal
We lock in your truck size and configuration, finalize the equipment list, and put together a purchase agreement. A 50% deposit secures your spot on the build schedule.
Step 4 - Build
Your truck moves into full production. The vehicle is prepped, materials are ordered, and our sales, engineering, and fabrication teams work toward a single delivery date.
Step 5 - Delivery
Pick up your completed food truck directly from our Houston shop. We walk you through a full kitchen orientation so you know every system before you drive off. Or we coordinate delivery to your location anywhere in the U.S.
