Read the video transcript: Sedona Donut Coffee Truck
Hello and welcome to Z food trucks. This is probably at least one of the coolest trucks that we have built ever. This is a donut truck for a company in uh Arizona. It is It's not wrapped yet because they're going to wrap it themselves. Goes from this side. Well, it used to be an Amazon delivery truck. We of course put our generator box inside and the generator box has a 12 kW commence generator shore power connection place where you fill water. That's actually the gray water tank that you see at the bottom and that's how you would drain the water. This is actually the business end of the truck. Literally idea is that there would be merchandise here at the bottom all the way around in donuts in these donut tracks inside. And here in this refrigerator, merchandiser refrigerator that you'll be able to access from the outside would be some drinks. This is you can actually see how thick it is. It's 3/4 inch plexiglass so it doesn't buckle or whatever. Now, um code requires that in Sedona the code requires that it cannot be opened. So, it has these uh openable shutters which are also made of plexiglass. Oh, I forgot to show you. There are light strips, LED light strips on the inside. RB door in the back. This is where you would keep uh donut, you know, pans that are being prepped, basically water heater. The floor is rubber. They wanted to be one single sheet of rubber that they can uh wash. Hand wash sink with splash guards. Towel dispenser, soap dispenser. that right there is a refrigerator generator box. Now you would see that this wall is not stainless. It's actually wood. See how craftsmanship of course you see be very proud of it. The how you flip from the generator power to the shore power. the transfer box as it's called as every piece of equipment has its own breaker. Notice how it's been painted white to match with the rest of the truck. We did the same thing with the cables as well. Now all the wiring is in conduits as always. It has a AC on top and three LED lights on the inside. 16T truck AC controls. These walls are all um steel, powder coated steel. Let's go for the shelf as well. There's actually a few custom shelves that we made on the outside as well. I'll show you that at the end of the tour right there. They of course pop right up and they'll stay for more um more merchandise, that kind of stuff. This awning can be closed for transit and there are these can get windy there. So these will keep it u nice and strong. That brings us to the tour of this beautiful doughut truck that we are shipping off to Arizona.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answering your questions about our food Truck manufacturing services.

Tucson operators need a Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) Mobile Food Unit permit, an Arizona TPT license, a City of Tucson business license, and Tucson Fire sign-off for any suppression-equipped unit. Zion Foodtrucks delivers builds with the PDEQ plan-review packet already assembled.

Yes. Gem Show operators see 5–10x daily covers overnight. We build high-throughput layouts — dual reach-ins, oversized water capacity, triple fryers where needed — specifically for operators working the February–March surge on 22nd Street, Grant Road, and the Kino show grounds.

Yes. We’ve built compact trailer rigs and full trucks for U of A tailgate caterers on Cherry Avenue and the Arizona Stadium lots. Our game-day spec emphasizes quick setup and high propane capacity for long tailgate windows.

Absolutely — this is one of our favorite Tucson builds. Bacon-wrap griddles, chile bar prep stations, and the specific reach-in configuration for carne asada, pinto, and all the Sonoran fixings. We know the style.

Our electrical systems are sealed to IP65, generator bays are cross-vented for monsoon downpours, and wood interior trim is avoided in favor of food-safe polymer or stainless in high-humidity builds headed for the Santa Cruz Valley.

Standard custom builds run 10–16 weeks. Gem Show operators targeting a February opening should book by late summer to secure a January delivery.
