01 · Who it's for

What they needed

Burger Drops needed to take its cooking line on the road without giving up the refrigeration, storage, prep space, or service flow of a commercial kitchen.

02 · The challenge

The hard part

A full cook line, storage, and a service deck have to fit inside a towable trailer and still meet commercial standards. The layout has to earn every inch.

03 · The coordination

What had to stay together

We built it as one job at our own headquarters: layout, stainless line, equipment, the fold-down service deck, and the service windows the brand sells through.

04 · The result

What changed

The brand got a mobile kitchen designed around its menu, staff workflow, and service windows.

Inside the Burger Drops trailers.

A mobile kitchen is a full commercial kitchen inside a trailer. We fabricated the stainless, fitted the equipment, and certified it to open.

03 · How we handled it
01 · The constraint

The trailer needed a complete commercial kitchen in a towable footprint.

The cook line, storage, service deck, and movement all have to share a towable shell and still meet commercial standards. The layout has to be right before a single panel is cut.

02 · The build

Stainless and equipment, fabricated in-house.

We built the line in stainless, set the equipment, and added the fold-down service deck and ramp so the crew could cook, store, and serve without fighting the space.

03 · The result

One team coordinated the trailer’s foodservice scope.

Design, fabrication, equipment, and the finish work all ran through us, all under one roof. That is the point: one number to call and one team accountable for whether the trailer works on a busy day.

04 · Need / role / result

Project summary.

01

What they needed

A trailer the brand could open service from anywhere, built to the same commercial standard as a fixed kitchen rather than a styled-up box.

02

What we did

We took it on as one job at Edge HQ, so the layout, the metalwork, the equipment, and the finish were never split across separate shops.

03

What they got

A mobile kitchen that earns its inches on a busy day, with one team to call if anything on it needs sorting.

05 · Scope

Project scope.

The pieces that turn a trailer into a kitchen, kept under one team so nothing fell between trades.
