Power Solution for Food Truck Busines

A food truck, a modern take on the classic chuck wagon, that transports not just delicious meals, but also serves as a working space for all food preparations to take place. Additionally, unlike restaurants that have a direct connection to the power grid for all their electricity needs, a food truck is an extremely mobile business, and it requires an equally mobile power solution.

And the best bet for a portable power source? Undoubtedly, a good mobile generator to power all the decorative fittings outside, and the necessary appliances inside, without a single interruption throughout several cooking sessions. That being said, several factors must be considered to determine the appropriate generator for the entire food truck setup.

How much power do you need?

For every food truck has its vibrancy and character centred around the decorative elements and type of food to serve, the amount of powers differs as well. Getting a generator that can handle all your power generation needs is critical, if not the most crucial aspect of the purchasing decision. Hence, it is mandatory to determine the generator capacity based on how much electricity needed for all the appliances to run simultaneously.

Does generator size matters?

To cook up a mouth-watering feast, the kitchen settings are not to be taken lightly. No chef would want a large generator in the truck body to cramp the work zone – leading up to lack of manoeuvring room and affecting practical workflow.

Gone are the days when larger generator signifies more power. Generator now comes in various sizes, with some achieving significant size and weight reduction through techniques and design improvement – while still offering plenty of power. There is no better time than now to set this food gear in motion!

What characteristics in a generator to look for?

Tranquil ambience pairs with the aroma of freshly made comfort foods should take centre stage of the food truck business – not the noise and excessive emission from a generator. While it is all fairly self-explanatory, noise levels of the running generator should be close to a normal conversation (60dB) – if any louder, vocal will be drowned out. Likewise, deploying an efficient and low emission generator is better for the environment and its close surroundings, especially for the customers nearby – all for the excellent service!

Last but not least, wouldn’t it be a bummer if all smiles were wiped off the crowd due to a generator failure? The same goes for the food truck owner, as business downtime would mean a loss of time, effort and money. Hence, choosing a heavy-duty and high-performance generator are beneficial – and if not considered carefully, it will cause lasting implications for the business.
