KEI KITCHENS

Your recipe.
Your truck.
Your rules. Anywhere.

Modular mobile kitchens, built on Kei trucks.

Takes 30 seconds. No payment, no commitment.

Concept illustration, service side 660CC CLASS

Kei Kitchens builds modular kitchen units for imported Japanese Kei trucks: small, efficient, and cheap to run compared to a full-size food truck. Pick a build, bolt it on, start serving. No warehouse-sized loan, no oversized rig you can't park.

Pick your build

Coffee & Espresso

The entry build. Electric, no propane, simplest to certify and cheapest to run. Pull shots, steam milk, serve fast.

$7,500–$9,500 (est.)

Tacos & Griddle

Gas griddle, hood, and vent, built for high heat and high volume. Griddle, hold, plate, repeat.

$8,500–$11,000 (est.)

Ice Cream

Electric and water-heavy: the toughest power case, built to keep it cold and keep it moving.

$9,000–$12,000 (est.)

Prices are early estimates while we finalize the build. Final numbers will be set before anyone orders.

What could you bring in?

We can't promise numbers, nobody honestly can. Here's what similar small mobile food and drink businesses report in revenue, industry-wide, in 2026.

$200–$1,050/day

Coffee & Espresso

Typical daily revenue reported by mobile coffee vendors.

$6K–$21K/mo in reported revenue

$667–$1,400/day

Tacos & Griddle

Typical daily revenue reported across the food truck industry.

$250K–$500K/yr in reported revenue

$200–$400/day

Ice Cream

Typical daily revenue reported by ice cream trucks and carts.

Up to $1,000/day on big event days

Our target price for the coffee build is $7,500–$9,500: under two months of what mobile coffee vendors report in monthly revenue.

Figures are 2026 industry benchmarks for comparable small mobile food and beverage businesses' gross revenue, not a promise of what you'll earn. Location, hours, menu, and execution all matter.
