GAUL Catering: Event Catering with Food Trucks

Shipping containers as mobile pop-up kitchens for a variety of uses

We have built six custom-equipped kitchen containers for GAUL Catering. The goal was to enable the company to offer high-quality catering services without relying on permanent kitchens or complex infrastructure.
The containers are used at events, temporary locations, and permanent sites—including the Mole Mainzsummer lounge, located directly on the Rhine.

The idea: Making high-quality dining accessible everywhere

• to perform at various venues
• to use our own kitchen facilities on-site
• and celebrate show cooking

The implementation: Six containers, each individually equipped

Working closely together, we created a system consisting of six shipping containers, each with its own kitchen facilities. Each container is themed around a culinary concept, including BBQ, Asian, Italian, and Coffee & Bakery.
In addition to the technical equipment, the design was also crucial: clean lines, a modern interior, and open workspaces ensure a high-quality appearance. The pop-up kitchens, featuring an industrial look, can be arranged to be either understated or striking, depending on the location.

Operational Efficiency: Less Effort, More Control

A key advantage becomes apparent in day-to-day use: the integrated kitchen technology significantly streamlines operations. At the same time, logistics costs are reduced, as many processes take place directly within the container and the need for external deliveries can be minimized .
This makes it possible to ensure consistently high quality even during extended events— regardless of the infrastructure at the venue.

The result: More options for modern catering

With these container solutions, Gaul’s Catering is significantly expanding its range of services:

• Catering at locations without existing infrastructure
• High-quality dining in outdoor and event areas
• Cost-effective operation through optimized processes

At the same time, distinctive dining spots are emerging that attract guests and enhance the overall experience.

Why ROKA?

The demands of professional catering are complex—ranging from technology and workflows to the desired design. ROKA brings these aspects together and develops customized solutions that stand the test of time and make economic sense thanks to their durability.

Conclusion: The project demonstrates how high-end dining can be achieved even outside of traditional kitchens.

Mobile containers are thus becoming an integral part of modern catering concepts—practical, efficient, and versatile.
