Food Trolleys Transformed From the Utilitarian to Stars of the Show

Food trolleys are understood to be utilitarian pieces of kitchen equipment, used to store and transport food. Their use has been considered quite specialized, niche to the larger institutions in the hospitality sector. However, with trolley manufacturers injecting a healthy dose of innovation and creativity in their food trolley designs, their use has started to evolve into a role more front and center promoting your restaurant’s brand.

 

Whereas food trolleys of old were simple rectangular shapes made of metal, with an enclosed space for sliding racks (or something resembling such a contraption), food business owners have started to realize the distinctive experience a well-presented food trolley can give diners. 

 

Now, with the food and hospitality business becoming as much about the brand as it is about the food, the food trolley is being configured in more unique ways to add business value at the frontline, rather than just be support behind the scenes.

 

Food trolleys have come to be associated with a gourmet, luxurious dining experience. Be it at a five star hotel, a Michelin star restaurant or the first class cabin of an airline, the food trolley represents bespoke service and is an opportunity to provide a memorable experience. Smaller shops, especially an upsurge in ‘mom and pop’ establishments, has seen food trolleys be configured in a manner so as to enhance the ambience of the outlet. Wooden worktops take the industrial look out of the food trolley and add to a cozy ambience. Carting over champagne in an ice bucket with accompaniments on a custom made food trolley simply creates a distinctive experience for your diners – something that’s as important as the food to retaining clientele.

 

‘Dinner theatre’ one food reviewer calls it. In fact, the choice of surface is not limited to steel or wood. Restaurant owners have been experimenting with a variety of finishes to match their décor and food offerings. The list of materials includes marble, granite and glass. A chic upscale bar may use food trolleys to transport liquor, glasses and ice on glass topped surfaces maybe with subtle lighting touches. Similarly, a cozy Italian establishment can have wood topped food trolleys to give it a quaint, rustic vibe.

 

Food trolleys also provide your chefs and staff a platform on which to give the final finishing touches to food preparation. Depending on how bold you want to go, the experience can be a great attraction for diners.

 

Lest we get too diverted by the creative uses restaurant owners are putting their food trolleys to, it is a good time to mention that this sort of custom experience doesn’t come at the cost of utility. A food trolley can be customized any number of ways, and be made to include a combination of features and storage.
