This page has been written to try and explain about the company, the truck, and the whole concept, to someone totally new to Jiffy Trucks.
The Jiffy concept
The UK fast food industry is a growing market and is served by three different methods of provision and delivery.
- The Café/sandwich shop premises with its attendant overheads and limited catchment area.
- The roadside static trailer waiting for passing customers.
- The Jiffy truck taking the food directly to the customer, purposely designed to call on many sites in one day.
A successful Jiffy round may visit twenty different sites each trading day, ranging from industrial estates to commercial parks, from office complexes to building sites. As areas grow and evolve a Jiffy operator can respond and follow the hungry customers. A Jiffy truck is unique in that the operator stands with the customer on the outside of the vehicle, simply pull up, open the hatch door and your ready to trade. With a trading window between 7:30 and 13:30 all your food is pre prepared and ready to sell, speed is the key to a profitable round.
Our Trucks are also able to service outside events and shows, brining in extra revenue at the weekends should you wish
The Jiffy Truck
All Jiffy trucks can carry sufficient stock for a busy days trading, having an illuminated chilled display cabinet to sell sandwiches, drinks and confections. The central section of the catering truck has an ambient display for crisps, fruit bread rolls, cakes, pastries etc.
Customers normally serve themselves from these displays whilst the operator serves from hot food display. Hot food brought to the customer is the way to maximise profit, the hot display can hold a vast range of tempting pies, pasties, rolls, sandwiches and specials. There are gastronomes to hold chillies, baked potatoes, bacon, soup the choice is yours.
The side serving doors open to give protection from the weather whilst the non serving side of the truck holds back-up stock and the utilities.
Our trucks are manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel that will give many years of service, all the components we fit i.e. the fridge and heating systems, are covered by a national service network giving you piece of mind. We also have a fleet of our own trucks on standby in case you have an accident, we have built our business up over the last 35 years on manufacturing a quality truck and giving an unrivalled after sales service. At Jiffy, you can rest assured your in safe hands.
All new Jiffy Trucks are fully accredited by the British Sandwich Association.
