Crayfish food trailers usually adopt eye-catching red or orange body design, with neon signs, lobster-themed graffiti or LED scrolling menus to create a warm atmosphere for late-night snacks. The body size is mostly 4-6 meters, equipped with retractable awnings, folding tables and chairs, and garbage recycling devices, which not only meet the needs of open-air dining, but also meet environmental protection standards. Some trailers also have transparent kitchen windows, allowing diners to intuitively experience the whole process of crayfish from cleaning to cooking, enhancing trust and interactivity.
