Tiers & pricing
What's the difference between DIY, Semi-Custom, Signature, and Custom Elite?
- DIY ($999): pre-cut, pre-drilled, flat-packed. You assemble it in about an hour with one Allen key.
- Semi-Custom (from $1,520): pick size, panel style, finish and add-ons. The page prices it before you order.
- Signature (from $1,750): one of six pre-designed builds. Locked spec, your choice of finish.
- Custom Elite (from $5,000): fully bespoke, starting with a 45-minute design call with Sam. Plumbing, permit-prep, anything specific to your venue.
When is it Semi-Custom and when is it Custom Elite?
If it's on the Semi-Custom menu, it's Semi-Custom. Anything off the menu is Custom Elite: a shape we don't list, a build sized to your venue, plumbing past a starter line, permit-prep. Price a Semi-Custom build.
Can I add a sink or plumbing to a Signature build?
No, Signature is locked spec. The Coffee Bar has a port for one water line and The Espresso has routed water-line channels. Sinks, three-compartment setups and hot water are Custom Elite. Apply for Custom Elite.
Are the prices on the site final?
The Semi-Custom page shows a live estimate for your options, and a few options are priced on review. Reserve the build and we get back to you within 24 business hours, then send a formal estimate. Signature pages show each build's price. Custom Elite is priced after the design call with Sam, and $5,000 is a real floor.
ii.
Ordering & payment
How does payment work?
Signature and Custom Elite: 45% to book, 35% when the build enters production, 20% at pickup or before shipping, invoiced through QuickBooks. Semi-Custom starts with a free reservation. We review your build within 24 business hours and send a formal estimate; the same schedule starts once you approve it. DIY is paid in full at order. What happens after you reserve.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Credit card, check, ACH, or cash (local pickup only). No payment plans. Full terms.
Is the deposit refundable?
No. The 45% deposit is non-refundable, and the Project Agreement says so in writing. By then we have ordered material and booked your time on the floor.
How long does our team take to respond to inquiries?
One business day.
iii.
The build
What materials do you use?
Baltic birch for the structure, hard maple for trim and edging. Metalwork goes to a local partner and is quoted separately.
How long does a build last?
Five-plus years of weekly use is typical.
Can I see a build in progress?
Yes. Stop in during shop hours.
iv.
Shipping & pickup
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the US. Builds are custom crated and shipped freight. DIY flat packs go UPS or FedEx. For Canada, you book the freight yourself, which is cleaner through customs.
How much is shipping?
Mobile bars ship at a flat rate, set by your ZIP:
- West Coast: $650
- Middle US: $770
- East Coast: $900
That covers freight with liftgate and residential delivery, plus the pack fee. A scheduled delivery appointment is extra. Coffee carts, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico get a quote with your build estimate. Pickup in Yorba Linda is free.
Check a mobile bar to your ZIP:
Can I pick up locally?
Yes. 22445 E La Palma Ave, Suite J, Yorba Linda, CA 92887, Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm. Book a window with us when the build is ready.
v.
Health permits
Do you handle health permits?
No. We're a woodworking and fabrication shop, not permitting consultants. Collect your county's requirements and we build to them. How permitting works.
Do you file the permit for me?
No. Filing and follow-up with the health department are on you. Every county runs differently, and they are the source of truth, not us.
What's NSF certification?
NSF International certifies food-service equipment. Whether you need it depends on your county. Our standard options are not NSF rated. Certified pitcher rinsers start around $250. If your permit needs it, tell us when we quote and we'll source it.
vi.
Care & repair
Can you refinish a cart that's been beat up?
Yes. Drop it off or ship it freight. Sanding and refinishing runs $300–$500, depending on the build.
vii.
Changes, refunds, returns
Can I change the spec mid-build?
Yes, with a Change Order: $50 flat plus any extra material and labor. Mid-production changes may not be possible. The terms.
What is your refund and warranty policy?
No refunds and no warranty, but we fix major defects and failed hardware. Full terms.
What if I just change my mind?
Before the deposit, no cost. After it, the deposit is forfeit. We tell you that in writing first.
