Food Prep and Catering Van Build

We build food prep and catering vans for caterers, private chefs, and meal prep operations that need a mobile kitchen rather than a full cook line. Each build features stainless prep counters, ample refrigeration and optional freezer capacity, hot holding and warming equipment, and a plumbed three compartment sink with a separate handwash station. The electrical is sized around your refrigeration and warming loads with a lithium bank, inverter, and shore or generator power so the cold chain holds during transport and on site. We lay the interior out for safe one way flow from storage to prep to service, using NSF rated surfaces, and we build to California Retail Food Code and county health department standards including fresh and gray water tank ratios. Food prep and catering van builds typically range from $50,000 to $120,000 depending on refrigeration, cooking equipment, and finish level.
