Food truck costs

Are you in the middle of preparing for your event and want to offer your guests something really special? Perhaps you've already been to an event where the catering was provided by a food truck. You were impressed and are considering hiring a food truck for your event, but are unsure about the costs?

We actually encounter this question time and again. When planning an event, it is normal to define a framework and a budget within which the costs should lie. It is important to be able to estimate the expected costs as early as possible in order to decide whether something will be part of the event or not.

Hire a food truck - cost factors

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to the question of the cost of a food truck. They depend on too many factors to be able to give a general price. At StreetQuizine, we want to make your event something special. You can't really go wrong by booking a food truck, but the costs depend on more than just the number of guests.

In an initial meeting, we discuss how many people you are, but also what exactly you have in mind. Which dishes should be on the menu? What drinks should we offer? Possible allergies and intolerances are also clarified in advance and taken into account for further planning. Are you planning your event with a specific theme? We can arrange the food truck and dishes to match the theme. Whether you want exclusively vegetarian or vegan dishes or exclusive street food, together we can make it happen.

This shows: In addition to the number of people, the desired dishes and their size are also an important cost factor.

Your costs for a StreetQuizine food truck

What does that mean in concrete terms? Would you like to hire a food truck and need a more precise estimate? Our food truck catering starts from a price of around €15 (net) per person, for larger events from 200 people. They are always a combination of the number of people, the journey to your event and the duration of the catering. Prices may also vary depending on the season. We can therefore only make a well-founded statement with precise knowledge of your event and your expectations.

What do you get for it?

We plan our catering in such a way that all your guests will be satisfied. That's why we make sure that your guests still have a varied selection of dishes to choose from at a later date and don't have to make do with just a few options.

We normally plan a serving time of around 2.5 hours. We can serve up to 1,500 people at our food truck in one hour. Depending on the occasion and size of your event, we can adjust the serving time to find the best solution for you and your guests.

Conclusion

As you can see, we cannot give a general indication of the costs for a food truck. We work with all-inclusive offers per person, which allows you to estimate the costs well in advance. Please send us the key details of your event and we will provide you with a non-binding quote for an initial impression of the cost of a StreetQuizine food truck for your celebration.
