Our Essential Food Pod Equipment List

Welcome to our essential food stall equipment list. Once you have a food pod, your next step is to choose what kind of equipment you’ll need. Food pods have limited space so you will have to work out what equipment you need and the space available to you and get creative with how you set up and how you operate.

Having all the necessary essential equipment can be the difference between your business doing really well and your business struggling. Read this blog to gain more insight into the most essential equipment needed if you have a mobile food pod business or something similar.

Food Pods

A food pod is a portable food outlet – it is fairly small and is great for serving street food and drink out for people on the move. A food pod is like a food trailer, only smaller, lighter and easily transportable. You can tow your food pod along in your standard-sized vehicle without the need for a special licence and it is perhaps the most versatile and low-maintenance of all the mobile food outlet options.

Food pods are fun and quirky and can be totally customised to your needs, style and to your brand. Totally versatile and adaptable, you can play around with your food pod until you find what works best for you.

Refrigeration Equipment

Make sure you have the appropriate refrigeration in order to keep your food and supplies fresh and safe from bacteria. Consider having separate fridges for food as you do for drinks. You can always get refrigeration systems to cater to your food pod as they can come in various different sizes. Choose from different fridge types including:

Worktop or under-counter fridges – for the optimal space saver
Glass door refrigerator – great for seeing what you have got and for merchandising drinks to your customers too
Under-counter freezers – allowing frozen food to be stored with ease

Food Pod Equipment List

To give you a good understanding of some of the food pod equipment that you need then find our list below.

Warming and Holding Equipment

This type of equipment will hold the food and keep it hot until you are ready to serve it to a customer when they buy it. Not only that, it ensures food safety too.

Holding equipment will help give appeal to customers as they will be able to see what you have on offer, will tempt them and may persuade them to purchase.

Getting food prepared and ready in the warming equipment ready to serve will save you time and allow you to prepare food in advance and sell it to customers as they come, rather than have them wait for their food to be cooked there and then. This will speed up sales and allow you to serve more customers in a short period of time, ultimately making you more money.
