Self-driving restaurant-on-wheels brings food trucks into the future - Yanko Design

What if your eatery came to you instead of you going to information technology?

Meet the Streat, a conceptual food-truck designed to adapt to these incredibly trying times. More than 60% of restaurants are estimated to close in United states alone because of the pandemic. This lockdown has exposed one of the most breathy realities of running a restaurant – renting commercial spaces is incredibly expensive, and restaurants, equally popular as they may exist, aren't a very profitable business. Cut the cash flow for every bit picayune as fifty-fifty a week and the restaurant begins experiencing serious financial issues. Near of these places take been locked down since March.

However, it costs nearly ane/fifth the amount to run a food-truck. You lot don't worry about rent, location, or occupancy. The food truck tin can go where it experiences the highest need, and can serve as many customers equally possible while instituting a safe, social distancing policy. The Streat builds on that thought with an autonomous, pre-fab nutrient-truck that can exist customized based on the restaurant running inside it, and tin can exist rented out for a very nominal sum of coin. The Streat operates on a low-run a risk, depression maintenance model, and is designed to exist autonomously driven (so yous don't demand to utilise a driver or worry almost driving around the city yourself).

The Streat comes outfitted with a fully functional kitchen on the within, big enough for every bit many every bit 3-4 cooks. The modular kitchen counter allows yous to customize it based on the appliance you need, choosing betwixt fryers, ovens, grills, hobs, and even fridges and deep-freezers for storing produce. A semi-transparent clad sits on tiptop of the truck, illuminating information technology with sunday-light to reduce free energy consumption, while allowing patrons outside to see their food exist prepared. Prepare your truck upward with an online food-ordering system and you foreclose the need for people lining upwards outside the truck. Moreover, the truck can even travel directly to evangelize nutrient to people, eliminating the demand for delivery agents… and basically operating quite like a takeaway eating place, only without the risk of one.
