Chef-Engineered Mobile Kitchens
Whether you’re opening your first food truck or expanding an established brand, we build custom mobile kitchens designed to help you pass inspection, work efficiently, and serve customers with confidence.
A custom food truck is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your business. We design and build mobile kitchens around your menu, workflow, and local requirements, so you’re not dealing with avoidable problems after delivery. Every build is fabricated in-house, shipped nationwide, and backed by guidance throughout the process.

CHEF-BUILT, NOT JUST FABRICATED
John Berl didn’t start in fabrication. He started in food service.
After buying a poorly built trailer for his own BBQ business, he rebuilt it himself because it wasn’t designed for the realities of a busy kitchen. That experience still shapes every build today. It is why every Custom Concessions layout is optimized for real line-flow by people who have actually worked the line. Prep stations, fire suppression, ticket windows, equipment placement, and pass-through zones are positioned for the way cooks actually move during a 12-hour rush, not the way it looks on a CAD drawing.
Since then, Custom Concessions has completed more than 500 custom builds for independent operators, growing brands, and established food businesses across the country.
Every decision we make comes back to one question: Will this make the truck easier to work in on a busy service day?

ALL-IN-HOUSE CAPABILITIES
Fabrication, painting, electrical, plumbing, equipment installation, and final assembly are all handled in-house at our Delaware facility. That means better quality control, faster communication, and one team responsible for the finished product.
Precision-built mobile kitchens planned around real menu flow, equipment placement, service speed, and operator safety. From pizza ovens to high-volume fry stations, each layout is designed for working efficiency.
Built to improve hourly throughput and staff efficiency.
In-house surface prep, coating, and finishing create a durable exterior that protects the truck and elevates its visual impact as a rolling billboard.
Built to reduce maintenance costs and increase curb appeal.
Support goes beyond initial delivery. The team handles gas and diesel repair, hydraulics, electrical systems, plumbing issues, transmission work, and other heavy-duty service needs.
Built to minimize downtime and protect revenue.
For budget-conscious entrepreneurs who want more control, Custom Concessions offers access to serious components and practical support without compromising safety-minded build standards.
Built to lower the barrier to entry without sacrificing quality.
THE #1 REASON BUILDS FAIL
Health and fire inspections can delay an opening by weeks or even months if a truck isn’t built correctly. We plan every layout around the requirements you’ll need to meet before your truck leaves the shop.
Whether the destination is a local route, a festival circuit, or a multi-state growth plan, every unit leaves the shop ready to pass inspection on arrival, not after expensive corrections in the field.
Built Into Every Unit
Pre-Piped Ansul Fire Suppression
UL 300-rated wet chemical systems factory-installed and ready for marshal sign-off.
NSF-Approved Surfaces Throughout
Every prep surface, shelf, and sink meets NSF/ANSI 2 standards out of the box.
Greywater Capacity Standards
Fresh and waste tanks sized to your state requirements — no surprises at inspection.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Every build is different, but here’s what the process typically looks like.
Initial consultation about your concept and budget
Layout and equipment planning
Detailed proposal and build schedule
Fabrication and installation
Paint, finishing, and systems testing
Final walkthrough, documentation, and delivery
If you’ve requested quotes from multiple builders, you’ve probably noticed a wide range of prices. That’s because not every builder approaches fabrication, equipment installation, or compliance the same way.
We won’t always be the lowest quote. We focus on building trucks that are easier to operate, easier to maintain, and ready for inspection when they arrive.
PROVEN BUILDS
