How much does it cost to hire a food truck for an event?▼
Food truck catering typically ranges from $800 to $2,500 depending on the truck, menu, guest count, and event duration. Most trucks have a minimum order amount and charge per person or offer fixed packages. You'll get custom quotes based on your specific event.
How many food trucks do I need for my event?▼
As a general guideline: one food truck per 75-100 guests for a 2-hour service window. For events over 150 guests, consider 2-3 trucks with different cuisines to reduce wait times. For festivals and large events, plan one truck per 50-75 attendees.
How far in advance should I book a food truck?▼
Book 4-8 weeks in advance for most events. For weddings and large corporate events, book 2-3 months ahead — especially during peak season (May-October). Some trucks can accommodate last-minute bookings depending on availability.
What do food trucks need at the event location?▼
Most food trucks are self-contained and need: level parking space (roughly 20-30 feet), access to the serving area, and permission from the property owner. Some trucks can operate fully off-grid while others may need power access. Discuss setup requirements when booking.
Do food trucks handle setup and cleanup?▼
Yes. Food trucks handle their own setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup. They arrive 30-60 minutes before service, set up their station, serve your guests, and clean up before departing. You just provide the hungry guests.
Can I customize the menu for my event?▼
Most food trucks offer customizable menus for catering events — from simplified selections for efficient service to full-menu availability. Many can accommodate dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) with advance notice.
