Food Truck Tips
Food trucks are fun and require no set up, cutlery, utensils, power, or clean up! It’s a fast, easy and fun way to serve your crowd. Food, alcohol, and/or desert, and almost any cuisine. If you have a small event, check with the food truck operators as they might have a minimum spend. It can vary depending on the the individual truck and the menu chosen.
If you have a large guest list, you can go with multiple trucks, An individual truck can serve from around 75 up to perhaps 100 guests. Multiple trucks can serve the same menu or you can arrange multiple trucks serving multiple food choices. Multiple trucks also reduce wait times. A few other ideas to provide speedier service are to cut down on the number of items on the menu, have food set up for a buffet. And you can also hire a team to serve or assist your event attendees
Aside from a main meal, there may be other times where food and/or beverage serve would add to your event. For weddings, perhaps arrange a rehearsal dinner that can supported by this service. For a reunion, you might want to include something like a sunrise breakfast.
