The West Coast burger chain Slaters 50/50 sought to reach new taste buds by taking their signature 50% beef and 50% bacon burgers to the streets. Built for high volume burger production, we equipped their truck with a 36″ charbroiler, 36″ flat top range, two deep fryers, prep fridge, upright fridge and upright freezer.

When the food truck isn’t catering profitable private parties, it’s creating new loyal customers at Southern California events.

This Fresno, CA pop-up earned a devout fanbase serving up finger-licking grub at local breweries and events. With the pop-up as a successful proof of concept, we helped Gator’s secure financing and get a health permit for Firefly’s affordable Workhorse food trailer model.

Fully-loaded with a griddle, fryer, stove, upright fridge, prep fridge, and undercounter freezer, this 14′ food trailer was the perfect solution to grow this family business. So like their custom wrap says: “Don’t be a hater. Eat at Gator’s Smash Burgers, wings and things!”

It may seem like a big jump from building corporate, restaurant and hotel interiors to operating a food truck, but Taber applies the same craftsmanship to burgers as it does to cabinetry. A simple burger menu featuring premium beef sourced from a Colorado ranch keeps the line moving.

No ice was offered at Taber’s commissary so we machined large, self-serve refrigerated wells instead. While wells do limit space for other kitchen equipment, they also entice customers to add frosty beverages to their order, boosting profit margins.

Meadowlark brings elevated, scratch-made burgers to the streets with a clean, modern wrap and a mobile kitchen built for consistent high-volume output at markets and private events.

Firefly outfitted this build with a full cooking line and ample refrigeration to keep the menu running smoothly from open to close.
