Why a Shipping Container Bar?

There are various options for you to start your mobile catering business, such as beverage trailers and food kiosks. Why should you buy a shipping container bar? Is it an ideal choice for you? Answer the following 5 questions first.

Do you want to expand your regime?

A bar should be a nice place for relaxing and chilling. A mobile food trailer fails to accommodate many eaters during lunchtime. However, an outdoor container bar is easy to expand as large as possible. Just simply decorate the top of your shipping container pop-up bar with a balustrade, chairs and stairs. Alternatively, you can place some tables, lounge chairs and sun shades around your container bar, and you will have extra square feet for your bar. In short, shipping container pop-up bar is able to provide an excellent outdoor dining experience for your customers to enjoy their drinks if it is designed properly.

Is gas prices a burden on you?

The price of gas remains erratic against a backdrop of an intense political landscape. Mobile food trailers, carts and kiosks basically rely on your truck or van to move. That means that fuel is one of your daily bills. How to cut the expense? A shipping container bar can help, given its possibility of becoming a permanent construction. Once you find a prime place with foot traffic for your bar, fix it with bolts to set up a grounded container bar. A fixed position lowers your expenditure on fuel. Besides, you can leave and go home simply after locking your ground container bar there, obviating the worry of securing a good place for your bar tomorrow.

Do you need a way to minimize the risk?

For small entrepreneurs, the catering business comes with risk. Then, how to lower the risk and secure success? Open a container bar! A shipping container bar has the ability to move from one place to another easily, even if it does not have any wheels. Just use a large truck to pick it up or haul it to other blocks if your initial place does not work out or the diet of consumers there changes. The mobility of the container pop-up bar actually can save your business so that you will have a buffer for finding a good location for operating your shipping container pop-up bar during the initial months.

Do you need a sturdy construction for running your bar?

The external wall of a portable shipping container bar is made of corrugated steel, a kind of steel that lasts longer than other materials. Moreover, a shipping container pop-up bar is treated with layers of paint and varnish to avoid rusting and corrosion. We source fine steel and materials of high quality to produce every part of the shipping container bar so that the final product can stand up to the abuse and corrosion for several decades.

Do you want a commercial kitchen for your bar?

The diversity of menus is a good way to increase your income. If you have an idea to sell drinks with snacks or fast food, a large working room is required. Our big container bar(5.7x2.1x2.15m) provides you with a spacious room. It can be used as a shipping container restaurant.
