Everything you need to know about hiring food trucks

If you have decided to hire a food truck for your upcoming event, you need to overcome a horde of logistical challenges. So, before you go online and start browsing through the search results for “best food trucks near me”, you can consider the following tips in order to have a seamless catering experience.

1. First, you need to make sure the truck you hire has all the necessary permits and insurance, in order to cover any potential disasters at your event.
2. Of course, not all venues can lend themselves to food truck catering, what with all the equipment and supplies food trucks hold. It’s always better to be safe than sorry; therefore, you need to first determine where the food truck will be located at the venue.
3. Whether you want a custom menu or go with the food truck’s standard menu, you have the option; just make sure it goes well with your event’s overall theme and your guests’ preferences alike.
4. How many people are going to be at the event? Calculate the number of attendees at your event and always have the food truck bring in or make arrangements for extra food, just in case.
5. Have you thought about using the food truck in union with a traditional catering service? If not, then you definitely should. Using food trucks strategically can mean the difference between a wonderful event catering and disappointed guests. You can hire a food truck for the main menu and a caterer to attend to side dishes. Alternatively, you can also hire traditional catering services for the main meal and then hire multiple food trucks for refreshments or desserts.
6. One advantage of food trucks is that they make food on order, so the food is always served fresh. Having said that, they still need to set up the truck; as follows, you may want them to show up an hour or two ahead of time.
7. As an event manager, you get to decide what you want in your event and what you don’t. For example, if the food truck plays music – but you don’t want them to take on your event’s entertainment, then you can simply ask them to shut their music throughout the event.

With the abovementioned tips, you will surely get the best of your food truck hire. Whether you are hosting a corporate celebration, a wedding ceremony or a music festival, food trucks will absolutely add the right “flavor” to your next event.
