Small But Powerful: Why a Mini Food Trailer as a Starting Point of Your Business?

Does the food trailer size matter? Absolutely! No matter how large a food trailer is, space is always limited. Kitchen equipment, cooking appliances, ingredients, and supplies all need to be accommodated in the trailer to ensure self-sufficiency while leaving room for necessary kitchen tasks like preparation, cooking, cleaning, and serving. Does that mean you should buy a large concession trailer, maybe 20ft or longer?

No! Starting a mobile food trailer business doesn't necessarily require a large mobile food trailer, as the price can be a significant factor, or a hindrance for many entrepreneurs, particularly those who are new to the concept of food trailers. Larger concession trailers tend to be more expensive. At ETO, a 20ft concession trailer starts at $7,000 to $11,100, with the total price easily exceeding $20,000 when factoring in additional costs. Isn't it risky to invest such a substantial sum of money in a new business venture?

Then, mini food trailers for sale become a preference for small business owners because they provide a rather affordable solution to start a food business with low capital expenditure and economic risks. At ETO, for just $2,800, you can buy an 8ft mobile food trailer that offers the same features as 15ft catering trailers, including stainless steel workbenches, water sinks, and gas piping. But what about storage? Storage can be a challenge in a mini food trailer, but it's not an insurmountable problem. There are effective strategies to maximize storage space, such as preparing food in a commissary, limiting the menu to core items, using multifunctional cooking equipment only, and creating an efficient food trailer layout to improve the storage.

Of course, the low initial investment is not the only advantage of owning a small food trailer. Here are more benefits it can bring to you and your business:
 
  • Perfect setup for a small team (1-2 persons)
  • Fast production time & delivery 
  • Low operational & maintenance costs
  • Low shipping & freight fee
  • Low economic risks
  • Few parking restrictions & parking fees
  • Easy transportation for short/long distances
  • Easy registration to be road legal
  • Access to many public areas, like malls, markets, and communities
  • Cost-effective for testing new concession spots
  • Numerous customization options & add-ons  
  • Compact mobile kitchen layout with high efficiency

How Much Does a Small Food Trailer Cost?

As we mentioned above, the food trailer size is a major factor in the food trailer price. Theoretically, the smaller a food trailer is, the less money you will spend on it. Then, how much is a small food trailer exactly?

At ETO, our small food trailers start at $2,200 to $6,500, basically depending on the food trailer sizes and models. The smallest, also cheapest, small catering trailer model - FR220D - is priced at $2,200, and the price of each unit will be lower if you purchase more at once. The hottest FS300, a 10ft classic mini box concession trailer in the US, costs $3,300 only. We also provide mini replica of classic airstream food trailers - an 8ft small airstream trailer for sale starting at $5,900 - that adds a shining & unique aesthetic appeal to your food trailer business.

Other Cheap Solutions for the Small Mobile Catering Business

You have more options than just mini concession trailers if you want to start a mobile catering business on a smaller budget. ETO provides a range of budget-friendly alternatives to starting small in the food trailer business. Explore the following options to find the best fit for your street vending business.

 

Small Food Carts - Best & Cheapest Solution for Street Vending

Based on bikes, tricycles, or push carts, food carts are typically small and designed for easy mobility, making them the best option for small food vendors. Unlike food trucks and trailers, these carts are devoid of sufficient room for cooking appliances and complex food preparation. Therefore, they are used to sell portable street food, such as hot dogs, ice cream, and coffee. However, their small and compact design allows food vendors to navigate through the crowds from streets and streets, ready to set up a kitchen to prepare and sell portable food to passers-by at any time.

For street food owners, we provide portable hot dog carts with fryer & grill, ice cream push carts, and food bilks for sale.

Food Kiosks - Outdoor & Indoor Small Concession Stand

Food kiosks are a unique version of a concession stand that can be placed both indoors and outdoors. They are a great option for those looking for a more affordable alternative to mini food trailers. The FR220K, a 7ft ice cream kiosk for sale, starts at $1,880 only, and it has the most features that small food trailers have, with a small and compact kitchen.

Commonly, food kiosks are not designed to be mobile and are often stationed in a single location for months. That means they can establish a loyal customer base in a specific area.

Container Kitchens - Cheapest Solution to Set up a Pop-up Restaurant

If you prefer a permanent structure for your food business, container kitchens are a preferred choice. Converted from shipping containers, these kitchens have strong corrugated walls that create an industrial style & vibe that is special to customers. They operate similarly to a restaurant, with a kitchen built to the standards of commercial kitchens and access to water and electricity. But, the food takeaway business is their focus.

In terms of setup costs, shipping container kitchens are a considerably more cost-effective option when compared to real restaurants. For just $4,600, you can have a 10ft shipping container converted into a restaurant or a bar. With a standard electrical system, you can use your own appliances in it. Alternatively, purchase an add-on package of commercial kitchen & cooking equipment to improve your cooking efficiency. No matter what you choose, you can start your restaurant business for less than $10,000, plus additional expenses such as registration, permits, supplies, and employee costs.
