Whether it’s a wedding reception or a holiday party, having a food truck at your private events will make them unique, fun, memorable and exciting.
If it’s your first time booking a food truck catering service for any type of event, the process can be overwhelming. Don’t know where to start? We break down the food truck catering process and show you the 5 easy steps to get a food truck booked for your event.
Step 1: Finalize your guest count, budget and special requests
When you’re booking a food truck, you need to determine how many guests you are inviting to your event, and what your price per person budget is. There are food options out there for every need, type of food and price range, but knowing what exactly you’re looking for will be important. If you have special requests or dietary needs, you should know those ahead of time as well.
Step 2: Reach out to food trucks for catering quotes
The next step is to reach out to some food trucks and get catering quotes.

We handle all the back and forth communications with these food truck partners for you, so you don’t have to worry about contacting them yourself.

Step 3: Select your favorite food truck (or two!) for your event
Once you have all the different catering options for your event, you can make an informed decision about which food truck caterer is the best choice for your special occasion. Pick the right food truck caterer for your event theme and budget. Talk with the food truck owners about the size of your guest list and how many customers they can serve per hour, so you will know if you need to hire more than one food truck for your larger event. If you want a wide variety of food for your guests, maybe picking two or more different food trucks is the right choice as well.
Step 4: Finalize the event details with your food truck
The food truck catering partner you choose will need to know all of the details for your special event, including the location and menu. As you finalize your menu, make sure you pick crowd-pleasing dishes, but also offer different dietary options for your guests if you need to. You will also need to provide the final guest list to the food truck operator before the event, so they can prep for your event and ensure everything runs smoothly.
Step 5: Show up for your event and enjoy the food!
This is the best part: all the planning is done, and all you need to do is show up. Your food truck catering service will bring all the food for your custom menu, ensure your guests are fed delicious food quickly, and everyone has a great experience. So sit back, have fun with your guests and make memories that your guests will talk about for years to come!
