Comments from Inspira Senior VP: The staff loved it. The vendor even made sandwiches & waffles brought them to OR staff that couldn’t get to the truck. They came from Morris County in north jersey. Very pleasant & accommodating. Please let them know of the great service

Fantastic burgers! We also ordered the parm garlic fries and they were amazing as well! We accidentally received a grilled chicken sandwich and damn if it wasn't better than the burger imo!

This food was amazing! I will definitely get this food again. People were nice and food was ready quickly. We got the hibachi steak and steamed gyoza. Just as good if not better than going to a restaurant.

When ordering, the description of the Chicken sandwich meal said it included fries and a drink. However when I went to pick up my order they stated it did not come with a drink. I received a text message that my order was ready, however I waited 10 minutes for my order when I arrived, then when I received it did not come with fries so I had to wait again and it did not come with bbq sauce when they said it was on the bottom.

The burrito is amazing, I have to have it every time I'm in the office on Thursdays. I just got my coworker hooked on them too and he even went to culinary school. It's just that good! Perfect size, perfect ingredients, don't change a thing!

Food Truck Hospital FAQ

What is food truck catering?
Food truck catering is when you hire a food truck to provide freshly made meals from a full service mobile kitchen for your event. Instead of using large containers filled with food made hours earlier, food is made fresh and onsite.
How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget. For example if you submit a budget for $2000 for 80 people, we'll send you menus from vendors based on that budget. You'll see various menus, but they'll all be for your $2000 request.
Are there different budgets for each food truck proposal?
No. Each proposal will be for the budget you've chosen. If you have a budget of $2000, we'll only send you proposals for your budget of $2000.
What are the menu choices for my food truck event budget?
Once you choose a budget, we'll confirm the details and send out a request for proposals to the regions best food trucks! We'll submit a link for you to view food truck menus. You'll be able to select the food truck of your choice directly from the review link we send you.
Can I request special options like gluten free or vegan from the food truck?
YES!!! When you're requesting proposals you can make special requests in the "additional questions or comments" section.
How much time do I need to plan for a food truck event at our hospital?

Ideally we'd like to have 2-3 months to plan for an event, depending on the size, but our staff is capable of managing last minute requests if needed. We've been known to pull together 3000+ person events in less than 2 weeks.

How long does it usually take to book a food truck for an event?
In larger markets, it usually takes around one to three hours to start getting menu proposals back from food trucks. In smaller markets it can take up to 24 hours to see a list of menus for your region.
We have multiple shifts at the hospital. Do food trucks provide service for those that work the late shift?

Absolutely. Most caregiver events are split into multiple shifts, with majority of the campus eating around lunch time, the next shift is usually around early dinner and the late shift on average is anywhere between 11pm - 2am. No one should get left out no matter how late (or early) they work.

How many people can one food truck serve for a catering event?
Most food trucks can serve around 50-70 orders per hours. For bigger events, we suggest having multiple food trucks to ensure wait times don't get out of hand.
We have over 2000 employees with very short meal breaks. Can you accommodate feeding that many people with food trucks in a small time frame?

BFT has yet to meet a hospital that was too big for us to feed in the time allotted. We have multiple tiers of service options depending on how many people you need to feed and how fast you need to feed them. From made to order to super quick "grab-n-go", we'll do our best to fulfill everyones needs.

Can we do online orders or pre-orders to reduce lines at the food truck for our event?
Best Food Trucks has the best in class technology platform to allow your guests to skip the line and order directly from their phone. This ensures that your customers can enjoy your event and avoid waiting in line. When their order is ready, they'll get a text message to come pick up their order.
Our medical center has strict Covid guidelines. Do the food trucks follow the same rules?

Yes. From masks, negative tests, to vaccination proof, you tell us what you need and we'll make sure that each vendor complies with your requirements. We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable during the event!

Why should we book a food truck through Best Food Trucks instead of reaching out to food trucks directly?
Best Food Trucks has a huge network of food trucks that we regularly work with. We collect ratings through online ordering system food trucks use daily. With our data we know which food trucks are right for your events. Additionally, we give you a selection of the best food trucks in your region so you don't have to worry about booking an unreliable food truck.
With such large groups, do the food trucks offer meals for those with dietary needs?

Most definitely! Now more than ever food sensitivities are on the rise so we want to make sure everyone can participate in the food truck extravaganza without having to worry about their diet. We'll make sure each food truck customizes a number of set meals to accommodate all.

Does a food truck need power?
Food trucks come with their own generators. If you'd like to a quieter experience and have access to plugs, a food truck works best with two 20amp 110 circuits.
What are the best food trucks for parties?
Food trucks that can serve fast and serve a cuisine that can easily be eaten while standing without having to use utensils, typically work for a party atmosphere.
Are food trucks cheaper than catering?
Food trucks can be cheaper depending on the menu. However, the prices can vary considerably. Food trucks typically need a bit more staff and are bringing a full service kitchen to your event so they have additional costs which can impact the overall cost.
