The Complete Guide to Bizz On Wheels Coffee Carts

Choosing the right coffee cart for your mobile coffee shop is one of the most important aspects of your future business. Not only will it help you optimize your costs, usually related to equipment and cart alterations, and save you money in the long run, but it will also shape the opportunities that come with running a pop-up coffee shop.

With so many options available on the market, however, deciding which cart is the best for you can get a little confusing.

Should you get a coffee cart, a coffee bike or a coffee stand? Small or large? And what exactly are the differences in terms of use, equipment and functionality?

I’m hoping that this guide will answer all these questions and help you choose the best option, all things considered.

But first, allow me to answer a very important question:

What equipment do you need for a business-ready coffee cart / coffee stand?

To have a fully operational café, either mobile or stationary, the following equipment is required:

1. Professional dual fuel coffee machine that can cater to several hundreds customers a day. We recommend getting a 1 or 2 group lever espresso machine from a reputable manufacturer such as Fracino or Astoria;
2. Coffee grinder;
3. Milk frothing pitcher;
4. Automated water system with one or two sinks, water tap, water pump, battery and water tanks for fresh and waste water;
5. Cold storage box or 12V mini fridge
6. LPG tank and/or electrical power source;

Now that we know what equipment you need to be up and running, let’s take a look at the options.

Important Note: due to health and safety regulations enforced in certain countries and regions, our food carts and food stands may require minor alterations and extra features. When this happens, we work closely with our customers to make sure their cart / stand is in full compliance with their local laws.

Which coffee cart is right for you?

Since there is no “one size fits all” , the answer depends completely on your specific needs and business model.

If you’re already a business owner or a decision maker within a large company, then your choice would be dictated by the reason you’re looking to acquire a coffee cart or a coffee bike in the first place. If your purpose is:

• To promote your products and services, using your own professional coffee brewing equipment, then a basic coffee cart or a small coffee stand would be perfect for the job.
• To expand your business – such as a brick and mortar café – using your own professional coffee brewing equipment, then a basic coffee cart or a coffee bike would be the best options.
• To expand your business at national level with pop-up or mobile points of sales instead of investing in brick and mortar locations then a standard or a premium coffee cart would be the right choice.
• To diversify your sales channels and boost your sales by participating at large fairs, trade shows and events, then a coffee stand is what you need.

If, on the other hand, you’re a starting entrepreneur, then a fully equipped coffee cart or coffee bike would be your best choice.

I hope this guide managed to clarify the differences between BizzOnWheels coffee carts, coffee bikes and coffee stands, well as their functionality, purpose and unique features.
