Food and Beverage Carts
Mobile food service presents a solid, lucrative business opportunity and Cart-King food carts offer a range of benefits. Entrepreneurial chefs can enter the market cost-effectively and large restaurant chains can expand their reach and diversify their revenue streams, all with a low initial investment.
Mobility and flexibility
Mobility allows a vendor to reach where a traditional brick and mortar restaurant can't. Because our carts are designed for portability, you can open virtually anywhere with the security that you can move at any time. You can serve food on street corners, at festivals, farmers markets or even special events like weddings. Not only do you get the benefit of this flexibility, you also have a very low cost of entry.
Low initial investment and overhead
A commercial food cart from Cart-King gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a food vending business without the substantial investment required for buying a brick-and-mortar restaurant, or even a food truck.
Similarly, when operating a cart you don't have to worry about overhead costs such as expensive leases or paying utility bills. You don't have to hire chefs, waiters or cleaning staff. With a lower cost of entry, you are able to focus your attention on serving customers, generating higher returns and expanding your business.

Winsport Catering expanded their business presence with a customized Mobile Vending Cart 2K and a Street Food Pushcart.
Expandable and scalable
Cart-King wants to help you be a successful food vendor, and one way to do that is to offer you the flexibility to grow your business in increments. As you find success with your first cart, you'll be able to expand by adding more push carts to your fleet or adding more modules to our modular cart system. The modular system is designed to create scalable kiosk-style configurations. Adding a matching portable sink brings even more functionality to serve any hot or cold food items.
This offers the benefit of being able to expand your menu by having more space for cooking equipment, inventory storage and product display. It also means having more usable surface area for customized branding which increases your visibility.
Commercial-grade features
For a food cart to be considered commercial-grade, it must be designed from the ground up with features necessary for high volume, continuous sales. They must also be safe for food handling, which means being compliant with health and fire department regulations. Our carts and portable sinks are regulation compliant, enabling a business to sell takeout, snacks and refreshments in high-traffic areas such as parks, zoos, public concourses, office buildings and tradeshows.
Robust
Sturdy platforms on heavy-duty, industrial locking castors for ease of mobility.
Compliant
Food-safe countertops and surfaces that meet health department regulations.
Flexible
Fully adjustable shelving for a flexible arrangement of product or equipment placement.
Portable
Powder-coated aluminum and easily removable canopies for light-weight portability.
Customizable to your menu and brand
Cart-King food carts come in a variety of configurations that can be customized to fit your business requirements. Each cart can be adapted to your menu and operations with easily removable canopies and gridwalls, movable shelving and flexible, locking storage options.
Additionally, Cart-King offers the option to brand each cart with your logo, colors and style to increase your visibility and boost sales.
Are you ready to get your sales rolling?
Cart-King food carts give the benefits of a flexible, robust, and customizable low risk opportunity with high return potential for entrepreneurial chefs and national food brands alike.
