Find Food Trucks
Food trucks make a good add to any event, allowing you to cater to the needs of your guests without having to invest on equipment and space. You can save a lot of money on catering by simply hiring a food truck.
Licensing
Before hiring a food truck, consider whether the company is legally allowed to operate in your city by checking out their licenses and other permits.
Fleet
It is equally important that you find a food truck company that provides you with a wide variety of trucks to choose from. This will serve as proof that you are working with a professional company.
Contract
Before hiring food trucks, be sure to carefully read the terms and conditions. This is especially important if you want to avoid hidden costs most companies charge customers who fail to go through the contract.
Cost
With so many food truck companies to choose from, finding one with reliable and affordable services shouldn’t be too difficult. In order to save money on hiring food trucks, search the internet for companies offering affordable services.
Parking Space
Designate at least a three car parking space for your food truck. If you have more than one truck, set aside their space early.
Selling vs Free
You may choose to either sell food or give out for free. If you’ll be selling, then you’ll need to determine the cost of each type of food. You may also prepay for the food and then give it out for free at your event.
Power Source
The truck you hire might require a power outlet or a generator to run. If you’ll be using a generator, then consider the noise and set it away from the action.
Menu
The type of food you serve at your event should be well thought out. For instance, if you are working on a budget, consider serving meals that are both easy to prepare and lowly priced.
Lines
None of your guests should miss out on anything at your event because they are spending too much time in the line waiting for food. Estimate the number of people attending your event and have the right number of attendees helping serve the crowd.
Trash
It would also be wise to consider the number of trash cans to provide for your guests. For an even smoother experience, consider assigning someone to keep checking to ensure the trash cans are emptied every now and then.
The trick to finding the right truck to hire and enjoy your experience is to take as much time as possible to research on available options.
