Looking for a shipping container for your next catering venture?

At RFB, we love to do good in our local communities, and in doing this, we support entrepreneurialism and the self-starter mentality. A trend has taken off in recent years that’s given us a great opportunity to do exactly that. This trend, which is helping people launch businesses daily, comes at a time of economic uncertainty, rising inflation and increasing commercial property rent. These factors are stifling to entrepreneurs and local businesses, but the trend that has emerged from them is doing the exact opposite. This is a trend that RFB hopes to spearhead and accelerate.

What we’re talking about is the use of expertly converted shipping containers as business premises, which particularly applies to food and beverage professionals. Never before has such a convenient and cost-effective solution existed for those wanting to launch a food and drink business. Food startups can invest in a container that suits their size requirements and have our engineers modify it to perfectly support their enterprise. This means fitting doors and windows and ensuring the property is weather resistant. All it requires after that is a talented professional to begin generating income.

Benefits of catering conversions

Low cost: This is easily one of the cheapest ways to open a storefront, meaning entrepreneurial chefs can get their products to market without worrying about money.
No debt: Without having to take on a contract for business premises, chefs can invest in themselves and their products, increasing the chances of business survival.
Reduced risk: A lack of debt and overheads means a lack of risk, which is a healthy thing for any business.
Portable: This is something you certainly don’t get with traditional premises, as you can go where the money is.
Secure: While not necessarily a unique advantage, these containers are as solid as a rock and are virtually impossible to break into.

Insulated

One of the main problems you can face when storing items, is that they can get damaged by things like condensation. It’s advised to keep them at a regular temperature, and that’s where insulated containers come in.
