The new Jiffy Gourmet is a direct replacement for our ever popular “Bocado”. The Gourmet has become the truck of choice for the food 2 go market in the UK, It answers all the requirements of operators who have years of experience delivering hot and cold snacks to the workplace. It has everything the modern operator needs, with enough stock capacity to cope with any size of round. The Gourmet built on the latest Euro 6 Nissan CabStar SWB 34.13 Chassis, it has a 3.0DCI engine giving 121PS, a 6 speed gearbox and a gross weight of 3400kg so can be driven by anyone with a regular car licence. Nissan are renowned for quality and have main dealers located all over the Country, so servicing and repairs will not be an issue wherever you are in the Country.

The Jiffy Bocado had become the truck of choice for the food 2 go market in the UK, It answered all the requirements of operators who had years of experience delivering hot and cold snacks to the workplace. Sadly early in 2014 Toyota announced they were to stop manufacturing the Dyna that year, which left us with the serious task on our hands of developing a replacement that could surpass its predecessor. After much searching and research we found the perfect answer, the new Nissan CabStar, and so The Jiffy Gourmet was born.

The bumper and lights are now recessed giving the Gourmet a sleeker look from the rear, these are all then protected by a Safe T bar.

The Nissan is slightly wider than its predecessor, but only by 100mm, however,  it makes for a great improvement as regards handling ability around the corners.

Looking at the above picture on the left we have the fridge area within the 1st two divisions,  crisp/snack baskets above the fridge. In the centre you’ll find the main ambient area, and to the right our heated section. Inside the layout will look familiar, we have kept the in line design which allows the customer to serve themselves from the chilled and ambient sections, whilst you serve them from and operate the heated area.

The above image on the right hand side shows the rear view of the gourmet displaying the serving side, our gas sprung canopy door doubles as a working canopy when opened, keeping both you, and your customers protected from the elements. With just one door to open, long serving counters and everything easily to hand its no wonder our trucks are chosen by the Country’s leading retailers.

These two pictures show the 2 fridges to the left which are ideal for keeping produce such as sandwiches, wedges, baguettes, salads, plated meals, desserts etc, with  2 removable crisp baskets (700mm x 450mm) above. To the right is the main Ambient area which is designed to present wrapped produce such as pastries, Danish, muffins, chocolate and fruit etc. with incidental pots below. The ambient shelves are removable and have clear fronts to display smaller product lines perfectly.  The whole area is illuminated with the latest led lighting and houses a speaker to keep your customers entertained whilst waiting to be served.

The fridge is constructed out of industry standard Grp coated ply with 50mm of bonded insulation, not only does this look attractive with the built in LED lights but is easy to clean and will retain the cold temperature. The fridge is accessed by  blinds giving your customers the best possible access with no restriction when opened. Eberspachers latest fridge system comes as standard to us with hot gas defrost, this sends  hot gas around the system at given intervals which defrosts the fins, this will now stop any freezing up of the evaporator on warm damp Summer days. The evaporator is hidden in the roof behind the crisp section so your customers won’t even see it; they’ll just feel the cool breeze as they grab their food from one of the stainless steel baskets (11 @ 700mm x 580mm & 2 @ 700mm x 450mm)

The floor has been raised which enables your customers to view the drinks you have on sale with ease, drinks are now housed in a spring loaded system that all move forward as the front one is taken, keeping your stock fully front faced all the time. One of our customers saw a 100% increase in drink sales when they swapped to this new system. Lifting the floor has made it much easier to clean it without struggling to reach in.

In the above picture you’ll see the ambient to the left and the heated section to the right, the oven is accessed by the sliding glass, however, the Gourmet also incorporates an opening main frame to enable the baskets to be easily loaded without the need to remove the glass doors. A glass separator panel in between the two areas, not only looks attractive, but stops any escaping heat gaining access to the ambient and chilled areas when the main door is closed. The long stainless counter has a selection of bain maries fitted for storage, whilst the panel to the right of the oven has slots for napkin’s, bags and a money box, all very useful additions and a great use of space.

Looking inside the oven with the main door open, we can see 4 baskets (700mm x 700mm) and one (700mm x 350mm) that will hold over 200 pasties, pies, savories or pre-made meals. Combine this with the gastronomes in the base that can hold jacket potatoes, chilies, bacon, sausages etc, and you can offer a vast selection to your customer. The Eberspacher hot air (80°c – 90°c temperature controlled) system will keep your food in perfect condition, it constantly pulls in fresh air so keeps the oven moist preventing the food drying out too quickly. Whilst the quilted stainless steel finish and display lighting will present your food at its very best. The Jiffy Gourmet also has an electric oven that can be plugged in to a 240v supply back at base, the only model in our range to offer this facility.

On the storage side we have created an area behind the oven that will hold/stack four food trays (supplied) at a size of 600mm x 400mm, we have incorporated this feature by request from some of our customers, extremely handy for delivering to shops, buffet lunches etc. The fridge doors are now in white making them much lighter to handle than glass, but the main advantage is the inside of the fridge looks much brighter and cleaner from your customers perspective.

The auto on/off hand wash unit is located in the center area for ease of access.

The buffet tray system has also been used in the fridge although not compulsory, and can of course be replaced with baskets. This will give you 4 trays of chilled produce (600mm x 400mm) as back up stock, buffet/shop delivery or for collection of items. This idea was requested by a group of customers who now find it very useful, with all the baskets removed the Gourmet fridge can carry 16 of these trays if you need it to double as a refrigerated van outside of regular Jiffy round hours.

The Nissan CabStar cab is a nice modern driving environment with three full size seats. Jiffy fit as standard our keyout system which allows the vehicle to be left running unattended. This truck comes with a Nissan warranty of 5 years / 100,000 miles, and 2 years warranty on the fridge and heater

On the dashboard you’ll find that as standard you’ll get a bluetooth phone system and I-pod connectivity sockets

The latest control system from Jiffy/Eberspacher, just one touch and your heater and fridge are now running, they are both thermostatically controlled, and if required can be run independently. This smart control in the event of a breakdown, will give you a fault code so the dealer knows which part to bring to effect a repair.

Above is a picture of the 1st Gourmet to leave us with sign-writing, I hope you’ll agree it looks the business.

All our conversions are whole vehicle type approved and tested by the government agency the VCA, a legal requirement on all new specialist vehicles from April 2013, make sure whatever you buy it has reached this standard
