Mobile food trailers are transforming how entrepreneurs start and grow food businesses across Europe. Affordable, flexible, and fast to set up, they’ve become a popular alternative to brick-and-mortar cafés.
This case study showcases one of our Spanish customers who turned a 3.5-meter custom-built mobile trailer into a thriving business generating up to €1,000 per day.

Our Spanish client's food trailer for sale is 3.5m long, 2m wide, and 2.3m high — the perfect size for urban areas, markets, and festivals. Despite its compact footprint, it’s designed for professional food operations with high efficiency.
Key Features:
Glass sliding windows for display and smooth customer service
Dual-temperature fridge/freezer for fresh ingredient storage
Single deep fryer and industrial-grade range hood
Double sinks with hot and cold water
Ten EU-standard sockets and external power port
Stainless steel worktables and anti-slip flooring
This setup enables the preparation of croissants, waffles (gofres), croffles, and crepes — all European favorites that deliver high margins and quick turnover.

Once launched, the food trailer was positioned in high-traffic areas — parks, plazas, and weekend events. Within weeks, it achieved daily sales between €500 and €1,000.
“In under half a year, I made back every euro I spent on the trailer. Now, every day is profit,” — says the Spanish owner.
Thanks to low overheads, affordable ingredients, and steady customer demand, the owner reached full ROI in less than six months. Every day afterward has been pure profit.
Running a mobile food trailer offers several major advantages:
Low startup cost — no rent or renovation fees
Fast return on investment (ROI) — often under six months
High flexibility — move to any event or city center
Lower staffing requirements
Easy maintenance and low utility consumption
Scalable model — one trailer can lead to a fleet
European consumers love freshly prepared, portable desserts. That’s why food trailers specializing in croffles, crepes, and waffles perform well in Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, and Italy.
Trailers can also be branded in local languages, adapted to vegan or gluten-free menus, and used year-round for street sales or catering events.
