Catering & Mobile Cart Builds
A cart is small, but the code is not optional. Concept Craft builds compact catering and mobile food carts in San Diego permit-ready to mobile food facility requirements, so you can vend from day one.
Catering carts and mobile push-carts still fall under mobile food facility requirements, which means handwash, sink, and holding rules apply even in a few square feet. Concept Craft designs every inch around those requirements so the cart is approvable, not just attractive.
Small footprint, full compliance. Catering carts and mobile push-carts still fall under mobile food facility requirements, which means handwash, sink, and holding rules apply even in a few square feet. We design every inch around those requirements so the cart is approvable, not just attractive.
Engineered to hold safe food temperatures. A compliant cart has to keep hot food hot and cold food cold throughout service. We build in hot and cold holding sized to your menu, along with the prep surfaces and handwash setup the code expects.
Push-cart or trailer. We build self-contained push-carts for tight, walkable venues and towable trailer carts for vendors who need more capacity or range. Either way, the layout keeps prep, holding, and handwashing compliant and workable.
Built for the menu you serve. Coffee, tacos, shaved ice, and catering spreads each have different holding, power, and water needs. We spec the cart to your concept so it performs and passes.

The Farm to Smash Build
Concept Craft built the commercial kitchens for Farm to Smash at two locations, Escondido and Point Loma. Two kitchens, two jurisdictions, two health-department reviews, both built to code and brought into operation. That is the test of a food-service builder: not a single showroom kitchen, but repeatable, compliant builds that clear approvals and open for business.

FAQ
Questions, Answered
Carts are regulated as mobile food facilities, so handwash, sink, and food-holding requirements still apply, scaled to the operation. We build your cart to those requirements so it can be permitted and inspected.
Yes. The challenge of a cart is fitting compliant handwash, holding, and prep into a small footprint, and that is exactly what we specialize in. We engineer the layout so nothing required gets left out.
A push-cart suits compact, walkable venues and simpler menus, while a trailer offers more capacity, equipment, and range. We will recommend the configuration that fits your menu, your venues, and the code requirements for each.
Yes. We design the cart around your menu's specific prep, holding, power, and water needs, whether that is espresso, a taco setup, frozen treats, or a catering spread.

Food Truck Builds & Conversions
A truck is not a small restaurant, it is a mobile food facility, and San Diego County's environmental health requirements govern its sinks, water and waste capacity, propane, ventilation, and more. Concept Craft builds to that rulebook from the first sketch, so your unit passes inspection instead of getting parked.

When a restaurant build gets delayed, it is almost always the kitchen, the exhaust hood, the gas line, the grease interceptor, the drain layout, the wall and floor finishes. These are exactly the systems the health department and building plan check examine line by line. Concept Craft designs them from the code outward so your approval moves, then builds to match the approved set so inspections pass.
