Drive Thru Modular Coffee Unit

This high-specification 30ft x 8ft (22.3 m²) modular unit is a turnkey solution designed specifically for the fast-paced specialty coffee industry. Engineered to outperform traditional "box" conversions, it provides a professional environment, offering a superior experience for both baristas and customers. Why Modular is Superior to a Shipping Container Conversion While shipping containers are popular for their "industrial look," they were designed for cargo, not commerce. Our purpose-built modular units are engineered from the ground up for human occupancy and food service. 1. Superior Thermal Performance (Year-Round Comfort) The Container Issue: Steel is a massive thermal conductor. In an Irish winter, a container is a fridge; in the summer, it’s an oven. This leads to massive condensation (sweating) which can ruin coffee beans and damage sensitive grinders. The Modular Advantage: Our units feature 60mm PU foam wall insulation and 100mm roof insulation. This ensures a stable internal temperature, protects your equipment, and significantly reduces the heating and cooling costs required to keep staff comfortable. 2. Increased Headroom and Ergonomics The Container Issue: Standard containers have an internal height of roughly 2.39m. Once you add floor insulation, plumbing, and a ceiling, the space becomes cramped. The Modular Advantage: Our units offer a standard 2.50m internal ceiling height. This allows for professional overhead extraction, recessed LED lighting, and a much more spacious feel for staff working 8-hour shifts. 3. Hygienic Food-Grade Interior The Container Issue: Lining a corrugated steel wall is difficult and often leaves "dead spots" where pests can hide or moisture can collect. The Modular Advantage: The interior features flat, wipeable surface panels and R9 slip-resistant commercial flooring. The seamless transition from wall to floor makes deep cleaning simple and ensures full compliance with Environmental Health Office (EHO) standards. 4. Fully Customised "Drive-Thru" Apertures The Container Issue: Cutting large holes for service windows in a shipping container compromises its structural integrity, often requiring expensive steel reinforcements. The Modular Advantage: Our interchangeable panel system allows us to place double-glazed service hatches and personnel doors exactly where you need them without weakening the structure. We can even install specialised "hand-off" windows designed for drive-thru speed. Key Technical Specifications Footprint: 9.14m x 2.44m Power: Fully integrated "Plug & Play" electrical system with multiple 13A double sockets for espresso machines, grinders, and refrigeration.
