Myth: Modular and container kitchens are usually lower quality.
Truth: Because all of our kitchens are designed to be mobile, we use alternative materials to ensure safe passage and minimal damage to the kitchen’s structure, equipment, and finishes.While our materials are sometimes different than you may be used to working with, they are far from inferior quality.
Myth: They cannot be reused.
Truth: The primary function of purpose-building or modifying containers is to offer our clients ample flexibility to relocate, without any hassles. There is an infinite number of reasons a restaurant might need to change locations. Our clients use our mobile solutions for everything from testing new markets to pop-up concessions. We make sure that they can move quickly and easily without damaging their kitchen or restaurant.
Myth: Shipping container kitchen vendors lack a meaningful support system.
Truth: This will depend largely on the vendor you choose. Many of your options will have to outsource one or more elements of the build process (i.e. design & engineering, manufacturing, and logistics). The result is a disjointed communications system, added expenses, and reduced quality of the end-product.
We run our ship a little differently. We take care of everything from the conceptual renderings to the final installation. Working with Boxman Studios means you can look forward to a dedicated project management team, expert designers, and welding professionals that take your projects as seriously as you do.
Myth: Container Kitchens are a low-cost alternative to food trucks or modular restaurants.
Truth: In this case, you will likely get what you pay for. If you look hard enough, you’ll be able to find a vendor willing to cut the holes and lay the sheetrock for a much lower price than food trucks or modular restaurants. But, ask anyone who has walked that path, and they’ll tell you that the low budget general contractors end up costing much more in the long-run.
We’ve perfected the art of modifying and purpose-building shipping containers for mobile and permanent structures that house everything from marketing events to full-service kitchens. We know the permitting process, codes, regulations, and best practices that will ensure your kitchen is delivered 30-50% faster than traditional stick-and-brick builds and arrives ready-to-open within the week. You just add people.
