How to Choose the Right Kitchen Equipment for Your Food Truck Business: A Buyer’s Guide
Have you ever walked past a food truck and been drawn in by the delicious smell or the bustling crowd? Food trucks are an exciting way to bring great food to the streets, but not all food trucks are created equal. While some attract a steady stream of customers, others struggle to get noticed. So, what’s the secret to running a successful food truck?
Running a successful food truck business takes careful planning—strategies for location, finances, sourcing ingredients, providing excellent customer service, and, of course, equipping your kitchen with the right tools. Choosing the right kitchen equipment is critical to your food truck’s success, as it will directly impact your food quality, preparation speed, and space efficiency.
Here’s a quick guide from Rebenet to help you select the best commercial kitchen equipment for your food truck.
1.Fryers for Fried Favorites like Fries, Wings, or Donuts
When it comes to fried food, speed and consistency are key. The Rebenet Freestanding Gas Deep Fryer GF90 is one of our most popular fryers, designed with a stainless steel vat and available in four different sizes to match your needs. The 3 vertical cast iron burners pack a punch with a powerful total output of 90,000 BTU/hr, allowing for quick heat-up and recovery, even during peak hours. If you need something even more powerful, we offer fryers with up to 5 burners!
In limited kitchen space, every inch counts. That’s why we also offer the Rebenet CTF-3 countertop fryer—compact but powerful, perfect for smaller spaces without sacrificing capacity.
Cleaning your fryer is just as important as using it, and our fryers come with oil drain valves to make that process as easy as possible.
2.Griddles or Charbroilers for Burgers, Tacos, or Breakfast Items
Griddles are perfect for everything from pancakes and eggs to burgers and quesadillas. The Rebenet Gas Griddle EGG36S comes in various sizes (from 16” to 60”) and features U-shaped steel burners that deliver 30,000 BTU/hr each. The best part? You can cook different foods at different temperatures, so you can sear burgers on one side while warming up bacon on the other.
If you're looking for that smoky, flame-grilled flavor, our Rebenet Charbroiler ECB24S is ideal for steaks, chicken, or vegetables. Featuring heavy-duty cast iron grates for optimal heat retention and searing, this grill gives you perfect grill marks every time.
3. Gas Noodle Boiler/Pasta Cooker
If pasta is part of your menu, a Rebenet Gas Pasta Cooker PC11 should be on your list. Featuring a high-powered 70,000 BTU burner, this cooker offers fast temperature recovery and precision control for perfect pasta every time. Plus, the S/S 316 stainless steel construction is resistant to corrosion, making it durable enough for the tough food truck environment.
4. Food Showcases to Keep Food Warm
A food showcase not only keeps your dishes warm but also makes them look irresistible. The Rebenet FM-26 Food Display Warmer is designed with toughened glass on all sides for excellent visibility, with vertical fluorescent lamps to enhance the food’s presentation. With a temperature range of 30-90°C, this warmer ensures your food stays at the perfect temperature, while a built-in advertising area lets you showcase your brand as well.
5. Countertop Ranges for Versatile Cooking
Space is limited in a food truck, and versatility is key. A Rebenet Gas Hotplate is a great addition to your kitchen, offering 2, 4, or 6 burners, all with cast iron grates for even heat distribution. Our GHP-6 model delivers 25,000 BTU/hr per burner, and the removable grates make it easy to clean. If you need extra space for pots and pans, our step-up design provides even more room for efficient cooking.
6. Bakery Equipment for Pizzas and More
If you plan to serve pizza, a conveyor pizza oven is an excellent choice. The Rebenet CP-140IR is perfect for food trucks, allowing you to bake multiple pizzas at once with adjustable speed settings to ensure consistent quality. This oven can also be stacked for larger orders, making it an efficient choice for high-volume cooking.
7. Efficiency, Durability, and Space-Saving Designs
Every inch of space in a food truck matters, so choosing equipment that’s both efficient and compact is key. All of the equipment we offer is designed to work in harmony with your space, boosting productivity without crowding your kitchen. Durability and ease of cleaning are also top priorities, ensuring your investment will last through the rigors of a mobile kitchen.
