THE BUSINESS IN A CART CONCEPT
MODULAR CART BUILDING
ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOCUS
DESIGNED TO ADAPT
BUILT TO GROW
Crave Collective is a parent brand that builds custom, interchangeable food carts and uses them to create low-barrier micro-business opportunities. Whether on campus or in the community, our carts allow operators to step into entrepreneurship with structure, support, and flexibility—without the overwhelm of launching a full business on their own.
Each Crave cart is designed and built in-house with interchangeable tops that allow operators to switch between offerings like mini cakes, donuts, waffles, cookie fries, or packaged baked goods. One cart. Multiple concepts. Endless possibilities.
No trailers. No permanent buildouts. Just a smart, modular system that grows with the operator.
TWO WAYS TO OPERATE
Choose Your Path
Supply-based
Operation
The Supply-Based Model is perfect for operators who want to jump straight into selling without the need for a cottage food license or home production. All products are purchased directly from Crave Collective, including pre-baked goods, dry mixes, and finishing kits, which simplifies prep and ensures consistency.
Licensed Brand
Operation
The Licensed Brand Model is designed for operators who want a hands-on creative experience while leveraging the credibility and systems of Crave Collective. Operators produce baked goods at home under the Cottage Food Law, sticking to the approved Crave Collective menu. This ensures product consistency, food safety, and brand recognition.
