1. Upgrading transportation hub catering: the rise of airport "mobile kitchens"
Multiple airports in the United States, such as Austin, San Francisco, and Tucson International Airport, have introduced mobile food trucks in their mobile waiting areas, offering local specialty cuisine to alleviate passenger waiting anxiety and promote regional food culture. For example, the food trucks at San Francisco International Airport offer Hawaiian flavors, Indian curry, and Asian rolls, attracting travelers and surrounding residents to consume. This type of food truck is usually managed by the local food truck association and maintains menu diversity through a rotation mechanism.
Technical adaptation: Some dining cars are equipped with refrigeration equipment and intelligent temperature control systems to ensure fresh food; Sunshades and outdoor tables and chairs enhance the user experience, especially in areas with suitable climates.
2. Urban delivery and the "ghost kitchen" model
A "ghost kitchen" transformed from a trailer has appeared in Boston parking lots, while processing takeout orders for multiple restaurants. Customers can place orders through the app and pick up their meals from designated trailers, reducing rental pressure on physical stores and improving delivery efficiency. This model combines the sharing economy with intelligent scheduling systems, making it particularly suitable for high-density urban areas.
Technical highlights: Integrated POS system and automated cooking equipment, supporting multi brand menu switching; Some models use electric drive to reduce noise and emissions.
3. Event catering and emergency services
During the Spring Festival travel rush in China, mobile food trucks provide 365 days of uninterrupted meal supply to train attendants, ensuring the stability of transportation services. In addition, during disaster relief, food trucks can be quickly deployed to the disaster area, providing hot food and equipped with water purification equipment to meet emergency needs.
Design innovation: Modular kitchen layout supports rapid modification, such as installing large capacity water storage tanks or emergency power supply systems
