Project Description

Food carts are rapidly becoming a key part in Bangladesh's urban culture. Every evening. city streets come alive with bustling food stalls, drawing in crowds for a street food frenzy. In this fast-paced environment, a portable, modular tea stall offers the best solution- maximizing flexibility, business opportunities, and customer engagement.

This tea stall is designed as a compact, mobile cart with ergonomic features for maximum usability. The cart includes a wooden top that extends sideways for extra service space, while benches stored inside can be set up when stationary. The preparation area is made. of steel, resistant to liquid damage, and is tilted with a drainage pipe connected to the grey water unit. All essential equipment-stove, gas cylinder, water tank, storage for ingredients, glasses, kettles etc. are positioned within easy access to enhance efficiency.

A pull-up shelf allows one side is for storing tea-making ingredients, while the other displays additional goods like bread, bananas etc. for selling. The middle partition, made from recycled bamboo, is spaced apart to ensure visual connectivity and security. The cart also features a power outlet for charging devices, a storage section for newspapers at the back, turning it into a social hub where people can gather, read, and engage in conversations.

For scalability, two or three carts can be joined together to create a larger shop. The umbrella-style roof folds down for safe transport and expands when set up, providing shade and shelter. This design ensures a functional, efficient, community-friendly, and flexible tea stall for vendors.
