“With my fleet of food trucks, I handle large-scale catering events—so everything has to run smoothly. My team can focus entirely on food preparation and service because the ROKA vehicles simply do what they’re supposed to. And for years, I’ve been able to rely on the manufacturer for service, maintenance, and repairs.”
René Dost, CEO of the Redo Group
REDO Food Truck Catering: When Passion Becomes a Business
From a family business to a dazzling culinary powerhouse
René Dost—or Redo, for short—lives and breathes the restaurant business: entrepreneurial, outspoken, visible, and focused on growth. Starting with the family business, he has diversified his operations with various concepts—from REDO XXL and Redo del Gelato toREDO Food Truck Catering. An entire group of companies has emerged.
A key component of this is mobile food service.
Today, Redo operates one of the largest food truck fleets in the catering industry in Germany. Part of this fleet consists of 20 food trucks and sales vehicles from ROKA, which are regularly deployed at events.
Why food trucks? Original quote: Because it’s awesome!
But for René Dost, food truck catering is actually much more than that—it’s a strategic business model.
With your own fleet, you can:
- handle multiple large events simultaneously
- expand into new locations on short notice
- promote their own restaurants
- test potential locations for new restaurants
- and organize large-scale event catering
This creates structures that drive the entire corporate group forward.
Experience enables comparison and clear decision-making
Over the years, REDO has worked with vehicles from many different manufacturers. That’s why he knows exactly what really matters in day-to-day use.
Because when business is booming, it’s not just the idea or the look that counts—it’s above all:
- Technology that works reliably
- Vehicles that can withstand heavy loads
- and a service that runs reliably in the background
Why does René rely on ROKA?
A significant portion of the REDO fleet comes from us, and for good reason. Because the differences become apparent in day-to-day use:
- Robust construction for long-term use
- One-stop shopping
- reliable supply of replacement parts
- High-performance, rugged devices
- Service, Maintenance, Repair, and Availability
This becomes a critical factor, especially when multiple vehicles are in use at the same time.
The result: a fleet that grows with the company
Our partnership with ROKA has grown over the years. Step by step, we added new vehicles, guided by sound business planning and the confidence that we were purchasing from a reliable partner.
Today, REDO is not only active as a restaurateur and caterer, but also serves as a driving force in the industry—including through its involvement in the Leaders Club Germany.
Conclusion: The REDO example shows how mobile food service can become a sustainable business model.
And it also shows that companies looking to grow over the long term need partners they can rely on day in and day out—not just at the time of purchase, but for many years to come.
