Benefits of Container Kitchens
- Modular kitchens can be either mobile or semi-permanent, depending on the foundation of the structure and the purpose for which it is built. When mobile, these kitchens can be removed and re-delivered to alternate venues where they are needed, making them a superb option for off-site kitchens needed in the hospitality and food industry.
- Compared to traditional kitchens, the modular units are much easier to design and assemble as they involve prefabricated components that are set up in standardized ways. This means that there is no mess from building rubble and other waste, and relatively little time spent on disruptive building activity.
- Advantages of standardisation have a direct bearing on cost, and container kitchens are therefore much more cost-effective than traditional brick and mortar equivalents. They are also easier to slot into existing site layouts and remote locales.
- Because they are mobile (deliverable as units) they can be placed at many different kinds of sites, whether outdoors or indoors. Modular kitchens can, for example, be placed inside large warehouses or other structures for use as catering units.
- Another great benefit is flexibility of componential design. Modular buildings are extremely adaptable, allowing the addition of further components when kitchen facilities need to be increased in size, or when other components, such as washrooms, are incorporated.
- Mobile container kitchens are environmentally friendly. They cause very little damage when installed, and leave little or no problems behind when removed, so that the evacuated ground can easily be rehabilitated.
