What goes into a food truck catering quote
How trucks price catering
Most quotes are per person for the food, and many trucks set a minimum for the booking. Small groups often land at the minimum, so the per-person cost tends to fall as the guest count rises. The menu matters too: a taco menu and a seafood menu won't quote the same.
What moves the price
Guest count, menu, and service style, meaning whether guests order at the window or the truck sets up a buffet line. Then event length, travel distance, and add-ons such as drinks, dessert, or dietary options. Give trucks the full picture in your request, and the quotes will be closer to the final number.
What's usually included
The food, the crew, service during your event, setup, and cleanup. Plates and napkins are often included; drinks, dessert, or extra service hours may be add-ons. Check each quote for what's included, and ask the truck if something isn't clear. See the full price, including fees, before you book.

What customers say
Super easy to work with. We needed a truck for an office lunch and they sent us a few options that actually fit what we were looking for. Everything showed up on time and the food was great.
Sarah M.
Booked a taco truck for my husband's birthday and it was honestly way easier than I expected. Everyone loved it and I didn't have to worry about feeding 60 people myself.
Rachel K.
Good experience overall. We've had a couple different trucks out to our office and both were solid. The team likes having something different from regular catered lunch.
Jordan T.
Everything went smoothly. Truck was there early, service was fast, and our group was happy. Would definitely book through them again.
