Food Truck 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 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.
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.
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.
Why should we book a food truck through Best Food Trucks instead of reaching out to food trucks directly?

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.

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.
