For select franchisees our 'Roastmasterz' brand offers the conversion of shipping containers. These shipping containers offer a unique style and aesthetic designed to enhance to the 'Roastmasterz' brand. The modularity and ease of transport makes these shipping container modular coffee bars the ideal solution for a pop-up restaurant, a seasonal venue, or for catering facilities at events and much more.  

  

The Process

Design approval (Country)

Each project is different, and our 'Roastmasterz' brand offers a variety of design options for mobile coffee sales. After signing the proposal, our design team will make detailed floor-plans, 3D renderings, and engineering diagrams for the build-out of the truck, trailer or container. Once these drawings are completed, we submit these plans for approval to your local health department overseeing your specific territory). As soon as the applicable health department approves we start building.

Production and final inspection 

After completing the build-out, health inspection approval (and final payment is made) you become a proud owner of a 'Roastmasterz' brand coffee truck, trailer or container.
