Shipping Container Cafe for Sale – Container Restaurants

Launch a food or drinks business with instant street presence using our Shipping Container Cafe. One of our most popular conversions, this 20ft container cafe is built from a standard one-trip 20ft x 8ft shipping container and transformed by our specialist in-house team into a fully serviceable serving unit. It is ideal for entrepreneurs, event caterers, and hospitality operators who want a durable, eye-catching mobile restaurant that can be designed to their wishes.

Ready to Serve Customers

This container restaurant comes equipped with three serving hatches, two large hatches on the front side measuring 2350mm wide x 900mm high, plus a further hatch on the end at 1800mm wide x 900mm high, giving you generous counter frontage and flexible customer flow. A double-opening door on the end doubles as advertising space, while a personnel door in the rear keeps staff access separate from the serving line. Steel 10-point locking secures the unit when you close up for the night.

Comfortable Year-Round Operation

Full insulation keeps the interior workable through changing seasons, with 50mm Dritherm Earthwool in the walls and 100mm Earthwool in the ceiling. Clean, food-friendly linings and non-slip flooring make daily service and cleanup straightforward.

When planning your container cafe, consider your menu, equipment layout, and whether you need the optional electrics pack for lighting and appliances. One-trip grade means the base container was used only once for shipping, so it arrives in near-new condition. We design according to your wishes, so share your branding and serving needs early. Standard build and delivery runs 4 to 10 days from when the order is funded.

Every unit is inspected before it ships, and we deliver and install Canada-wide from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Contact Pauls Containers Ltd to request a quote and start designing your container cafe.
