Concession Trailer Buying Guide

Getting Started with Your New Concession Business

Buying a Concession Trailer for Your Business

Much more goes into starting a concession trailer business than one might think. Unless you’re a veteran restaurant or food truck owner, you’ll probably need some serious advice along the way. Moreover, you’re going to want some help finding an affordable concession trailer for your mobile kitchen business.

For some, this might mean buying something used, which is actually a perfectly viable option. It could save you quite a bit of money. Not to mention the advice and knowledge the person selling it to you could give to you about actually working in it. You’ll be working day in and day out in this thing, and you want to make sure you made the right investment. Not just for you to stand out to your customers, but for your own personal health and sanity. The pressures of running a business are already enough. Don’t make them worse by working in too cramped an environment or not having enough space to work with.

Once you’ve decided what you’re going to make and sell, you’ll need to consider a whole host of additional factors. Generally, these aren’t as fun and cooking up a menu or reading a five star review, but it’s an important step on your journey to success.

Related: Buying a Food Truck – What You Need to Know

What size do you need?

It’s impossible to predict what kind of business you’ll be doing in your early days. But, once things really start cooking, you’re going to need to be able to get around your space quickly and efficiently, just like any other commercial kitchen. Is there enough space for you, and maybe another employee, to safely and comfortably move around?

It’s completely possible that your business runs off of food previously prepared in a commercial kitchen. This might save you a lot of room in equipment and tools. However, You’ll need to make sure your grill, deep fryer, or prep table are all going to fit in your new space. When shopping for a concession trailer, make sure you have measurements of the equipment you’ll be using inside the space. It’s not worth it to put this off until after you’ve already made a purchase. A successful business person will always be thinking ahead.

What style best suits your needs?

As this type of business continues to grow, you’re going to have to stand out to your potential customers. A concession trailer shaped like a hot dog might feel pretty misleading if you’re selling nachos and sandwiches. On the other hand, finding an aesthetic that matches the food on your menu can have a huge impact on the perception of your business to the customer.

Consider the style of your concession trailer to be the first line of attack in your marketing. Returning customers should be able to pick your trailer out of a line up. If they have a hard time spotting you, you’ll lose the cash flow opportunity of a returning customer. Avoid this by choosing a style that suits the needs of your business.

How much storage do you need?

Nothing will kill your profits faster than running out of food too early. Once you start, you’re going to want to be selling out every day. This is completely probable! In fact, this should be your goal 100 percent. But running out of hot dog buns or plants before you run out of other essentials puts you at a huge disadvantage.

You’ll need to plan accordingly everyday to make sure you have the right combination of items and food. As if space wasn’t already a valuable commodity in the concession trailer business. After you cram all the equipment and manpower needed to get your business running, you’re going to need to find inventive and efficient ways to your goods. You’re going to need to ask yourself a few important questions:

Is my food easily perishable?

Does my menu contain items that could be a health risk if not stored properly?

Are all the required items easily accessible?

How mobile do I need my business to be?

One of the advantages of running a concession trailer business is mobility. You’re able to go where the customers are and maximize foot traffic. This is not an advantage that any other restaurant has. Planning for mobility will be an important step in your success. For example, Portland, OR has more concession stands and trailer businesses than almost any other city of it’s size in the United States. However, they are not allowed to become mobile once a space is renting. Does your concession stand or trailer need to be able to drive away once you’re done for the day? Or, will your stand be required to stay put for long periods of time?

Key Takeaway for the Perfect Concession Trailer

When you’re looking for the perfect concession trailer for your business, space is king. A close second would be your ability to become a mobile again kitchen. If your new trailer needs a truck to tow you around, you’ll need to factor in that purchase into your initial start up costs.

FAQs about Food Trucks and Concession Trailers

Are you looking to start a mobile kitchen or food trailer business? Here are the most common questions answered about food trucks and concession trailers.

What is a concession trailer?

A concession trailer is a mobile kitchen unit where people can go to purchase snacks, food, drinks, and other items. They can be connected to the back of other vehicles for towing to different locations.

How much does a used food trailer cost?

The cost of a used food trailer varies depending on what kind of trailer you would like and what it will be used for. For example, some food trailers come equipped with refrigerators, kitchen appliances, and other necessities for running a food trailer business. However, some food trailers just come with basic storage. Because of these differences in types of trailers, the price ranges from ten thousand to twenty thousand dollars depending on your needs.

How do you finance a food trailer?

You can finance a food trailer in multiple ways. One option in financing a food trailer is applying for a loan. Upon approval, you will pay the food trailer off in monthly installments for a set period of time which may include interest. Loans may be obtained through private lenders or banks.

What is better, food truck or food trailer?

When comparing which is better, a food truck or food trailer, it is important to note the advantages and disadvantages of both. The food trailer will be the most cost efficient option as it will need less repairs. The food trailer also comes in a wide range of sizes depending on your needs. A food truck however, is much more expensive as it requires more maintenance and is generally much more costly to purchase overall.

Are concession trailers profitable?

Concession trailers are profitable to a certain extent. When taking into consideration the money spent on gas, food/ingredients, labor, and general upkeep, the profits are small. Of course, this depends on the location and seasonality of sales. For example, someone who works larger events during the summer months only, may profit less than someone who works year round at smaller events and vice versa. They are profitable overall, but the extent of the profit varies depending on many factors.

Why do food trucks fail?

It is easy for a business, including food trucks to fail due to a few major reasons. A major reason why food trucks fail is because they don’t manage their labor and inventory costs. This is why it is important to know how much you are spending versus how much you are making (profiting).

How can I get a food truck with no money?

You can get a food truck with no money by taking out a loan or applying for a credit card in order to finance your food truck. This does require monthly payments towards the cost of the food truck.

How can I make my food truck successful?

You can make your food truck successful by marketing your food truck. Creating a website and social media pages can spread the word about your business. Another way to make your food truck successful is by offering special event catering services.

We hope this post helps you find the concession food trailer for sale that you’ve been looking for to start or expand your business. If you like what you’ve seen, we would love it if you give us a share.

Good luck with whichever direction you decide to take, new trailer, used food trailer or custom build.
