Skip the Line and Savor Your Des Moines Spectacular

At 80/35, the Des Moines Arts Festival, or a sold-out night at Wells Fargo Arena, nobody wants to stand around waiting for lunch while the headliner hits the stage. Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform lets your crowd order straight from their phones, pay in seconds, and pick up when their name flashes on screen—no more conga line around the concourse. Guests stay locked in on the music, the murals, or the AAA baseball action, while our trucks fire up fresh meals on demand.

Planning ahead? Send a pre-order link with ticket confirmations so fans can reserve a pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan Buddha bowl for a 6:15 PM pickup—perfect for beating the rush at Principal Park or the fireworks at Jordan Creek. Our system is built for high-volume traffic, processing hundreds of orders per minute without a hiccup, so your large-scale event catering in Des Moines runs as smooth as a paddleboat on Gray’s Lake.
