FAQ about hiring a Food Truck
How much does it cost to hire a food truck for an event?
You can sometimes hire a food truck for as little as $500, but the cost will increase depending on a number of factors. Your location, the popularity of the truck, the type of cuisine, and the number of guests that need to be served can all increase the price. Seasonality can also affect food truck prices, with bookings during summer events and holidays often costing more.
How do I find a food truck for my event?
There are several ways to find great food trucks for hire. You can ask around local restaurants to see which ones offer mobile food services. You might also check with friends or social media groups for recommendations. And of course, you can browse GigSalad to see if there are any local food trucks listed that pique your interest!
What kind of events would be good for food trucks?
Food trucks have become increasingly popular in recent years and they continue to be a great option for all types of events, especially if they are happening outdoors already. Food trucks would be a hit at any block party, family reunion, or college campus event. If your celebration is indoors, you can still book a food truck as long as there’s a convenient place near the venue for the truck to park. Some weddings are even opting for one or two food trucks in place of a traditional catering experience.
Is a food truck cheaper than catering?
Depending on the details and location of your event, food trucks are generally a more affordable alternative to traditional catering. Catered meals often require a waitstaff as well as ample seating, especially if the food will be served in courses. All of those costs add up fast, on top of paying for the caterer themselves which can average $800-$900 or more on their own. Food trucks offer a more casual dining experience that is a lot of fun for your guests!
