Mobile Food Trucks as Part of New Normal

With the initial announcement of transitioning to a General Community Quarantine from an Enhanced Community Quarantine, people started to breathe a sigh of relief while some have grown anxious thinking this is a premature step up. However, given the recent publication of the Omnibus Guidelines, it is now clear that the FM pass, clustering, and going out for leisure is still prohibited.

By this time, you might be disappointed with the realization that you can’t go all out on your craving fix yet. With ordinances popping out left and right regarding prohibitions on mass gatherings until December, you start to lose hope. Worry not! From establishing Malagos Homegrown Produce, an online grocery in davao with trusted food delivery service, Malagos Garden Resort now brings you your comfort meals on wheels!

As restaurants start to innovate because of reduced operational capacity and limited income streams, it won’t be a surprise if food and beverage establishments start to adapt new business models and start rolling out their menu on mobile trucks. Here’s why you should look forward to the concept of mobile food trucks in our city.

 Mobility. Food outlet-wise, the clustering system was not made to be fair. Some clusters were blessed with more options than others. It’s frustrating to want to purchase cravings that are not made available within your local cluster. However, with mobile food trucks, your cravings will go to you. Scheduled routes and stops will be made at every cluster.

You don’t have to go all the way to Malagos Garden Resort to order your favorite Pork Humba with Malagos Chocolate or the Beef Kaldereta with Malagos Cheese. Malagos Garden Resort instead will find a way to have these products get to you.

Safety. Mobile food trucks will implement the same precautions and food safety standards as that of a regular restaurant. It ensures that any surface the food will touch is thoroughly sanitized and that staff are equipped with hairnets, gloves, face masks, and other food safety accessories necessary as well as proper storage and segregation of ingredients and utensils to prevent cross contamination.

Malagos Garden Resort employs a Food Safety Officer that ensures all safety practices are being observed and followed. Aside from proper sanitation, proper storage also plays a big part in making sure that the food being served uses only the freshest ingredients.

Variety. Mobile food trucks can offer a specific type of cuisine or offer a wide array of menu offering depending on the truck capacity. Surely you won’t run out of choices or maybe will be overwhelmed with choice, you won’t be able to decide what to get.

Malagos Garden Resort will be offering its ala carte menu, including that of its buffet menu to its mobile food truck using the same farm-to-table vegetable ingredients it uses. This includes some of its signature products such as the international award winning, single-origin Malagos Chocolates and the famous Malagos Farmhouse cheeses in its farm-to-table menu.

With all of the restrictions and the inconvenience the pandemic has caused, these mobile food trucks will soon be part of the new normal which I’m pretty sure is an adjustment we all look forward to make.
