Ruru Baked | The Cesario Group

01 · Who it's for

What they needed

A Toronto dessert brand taking its plant-based treats mobile, with a truck that needed the refrigeration, storage, and work surfaces of a commercial kitchen.

02 · The challenge

The hard part

A full prep line, refrigeration, storage, and service have to fit a few feet of truck and still pass as a commercial kitchen. Every inch counts.

03 · The coordination

What had to stay together

We handled it as one job: layout, stainless fabrication, under-counter refrigeration, custom shelving, and the service windows the brand sells through.

04 · The result

What changed

Ruru Baked got a mobile kitchen organized around refrigeration, prep, storage, and service in a compact footprint.

03 · How we handled it

01 · The constraint

A truck leaves no spare room for layout mistakes.

There is no spare room. Prep, cold storage, service, and movement all have to share a few feet and still meet commercial standards. The layout has to be right before a single panel is cut.

02 · The build

Stainless and refrigeration, fabricated in-house.

We built the prep line in stainless, set the under-counter refrigeration, and fit custom shelving so the brand could store, prep, and serve without fighting the space.

03 · The result

One team coordinated the truck’s foodservice scope.

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

04 · Need / role / result

Project summary.

What they needed

A truck the dessert brand could prep and serve from every day, held to a real commercial standard instead of a styled-up van.

What we did

We ran it as one in-house job, so the layout, the stainless, the refrigeration, and the finish all came from the same shop and lined up in a few feet.
