The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a food cart and/or a food trolley and particularly to a multipurpose food and beverage cart for delivering Food and Beverage (F&B) services.
Description of Related Art
[002] Food and Beverage (F&B) services are broadly defined as a process of preparing, presenting and serving of food and/or beverages to customers. Various types of food and beverage carts are available for providing the Food and Beverage (F&B) services. Currently available food and beverage cart serves a provision of the food and/or the beverages, in trains, in airplanes, in conferences, and so forth. However, there are no provisions made for preparing and distributing hot foods in the above-mentioned food and beverage c
[003] art. Moreover, hot beverages are prepared in advance and carried in insulated containers that are present on a top of the food and beverage cart. This may lead to a significant change in a taste of the beverages, especially in a coffee.
[004] To overcome this drawback, the food and beverage cart is disclosed with a provision of the food and/or the beverages preparation and distribution. However, the disclosed food and beverage cart is a non-movable cart which is difficult to carry from one place to another place, which in turn makes the distribution of the food and/or the beverages difficult. Further, the food and beverage cart is disclosed with wheels that enables a movement of the food and beverage cart. However, such food and beverage cart is driven manually by a user which can exert a physical stain on a user’s body, especially on hand muscles while pulling and/or pushing the food and beverage cart. Moreover, the disclosed food and beverage cart is unable to cater demands of sparsely located customers in an efficient manner.
[005] There is thus a need for an advanced and more effective multipurpose food and beverage cart that can administer the drawbacks faced by the conventional food and beverage cart.
SUMMARY
[006] Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a multipurpose food and beverage cart. The multipurpose food and beverage cart comprising: a gas range equipped on a counter top of the multipurpose food and beverage cart. The gas range comprises gas rings arranged in a circle to be used for preparing food and/or beverages. The multipurpose food and beverage cart further comprising: a crockery cabinet located below the counter top of the multipurpose food and beverage cart, to hold and/or store crockery. The multipurpose food and beverage cart further comprising: drawers located beneath the counter top of the multipurpose food and beverage cart, to store cutleries. The multipurpose food and beverage cart further comprising: a battery cabinet in-built within a wall of the multipurpose food and beverage cart, to store a battery and an electrical motor. The multipurpose food and beverage cart further comprising: speed rails attached at a front end of the multipurpose food and beverage cart, to hold bottles required for making the beverages. The multipurpose food and beverage cart further comprising: a power button attached at a back end of the multipurpose food and beverage cart, to be pressed by a user to activate the electrical motor, such that the electrical motor enables a movement of wheels.
