A food truck minimum represents the lowest fee we charge for participating in your event, regardless of the number of attendees. These minimums are necessary to cover expenses such as fuel costs, staffing, and travel time required to reach your location. As we enter our third year of operation, we've come to realize that despite organizers' best efforts and expectations, reality often differs significantly. Factors like low turnout and an oversupply of truck operators can lead to frustration and financial losses for all parties involved. In response to this challenge, we've implemented a new policy. If we're uncertain about the potential turnout at an event, we'll request a guaranteed minimum amount of $1250.00. This means that if your guests' pre-tax purchases fall below this amount, you'll be responsible for covering the difference. While this is our general rule, we're open to considering exceptions on a case-by-case basis. We firmly believe that event organizers must take ownership of the risks inherent in their events. It's unfair to shift the burden of uncertainty onto us as food truck operators. By working together transparently and collaboratively, we can ensure the success and viability of all our events.

Some cities and counties in and around the Seattle metro area may require a permit for food trucks. Fees typically range from $50-$200.

Please check your city for its requirements.

In general, food trucks are a growing trend sweeping the nation, representing a $1.4B market in the U.S. Aside from day-to-day food truck businesses, people are also becoming increasingly aware of the fact that food trucks are a perfect option for events and catering. If you're considering hiring a food truck for a corporate event, it's not necessarily about dollars and cents. That said, you can save money. These days food trucks offer delicious, healthy, even gourmet cuisine that your employees or customers will savor and generally speaking, made to order and therefore fresher than you might get with a traditional catering service. Hiring a food truck for your corporate event is one of the most straightforward catering options. A food truck drives up to the venue, takes a few minutes to set up equipment, opens the window, and starts serving people. After the event, you won’t have to deal with dirty dishes or left-over food. Mobility and speed are key benefits of hiring a food truck, and the food truck operator and their staff will do almost all of the work for you. Like all other businesses, most food trucks need unique selling points to differentiate themselves from their competition. The result is that you will be able to find a food truck that offers unique dishes in addition to traditional meals. Having said all of the above, if you have large numbers to feed and time constraints, be careful to keep the menu lean so that your group can be served quickly!
