A concession trailer is the do-everything food trailer: an enclosed cabin with a fold-up serving window, work counters, and the utilities to cook and serve on site. Unlike a single-purpose pizza or coffee trailer, a concession trailer is built to handle almost any menu, which is why it is the most popular starting point for a new mobile-food business.
