Guide For Making Sure Your Food Truck Catering Seattle Event A Success

By Kevin Schmidt


Meals and drinks are what make every party a success. If anything goes wrong with the meals, then your guests will be disappointed. Most people have shifted to meal van services from the traditional buffets during events because they have better facilities than the latter. The meals are different, and the staff is excellent. The following is how to ensure your food truck catering Seattle event is a success.

First, you have to set a budget for the event. It is of enormous importance to have services from meal vans because they help save you on cost of catering. The amount a van charges depends on its popularity and reputation. They usually charge an amount that is almost a third of what traditional catering charges. That way, you can have some add-ons for the event. The money can even go to purchasing more decorations or buying drinks.

Again, you do not want situations of food shortages in your party where guests are still lined up, and the meals are no more. So, know the amount of feed a truck can transport or hold, then check your guest list to confirm the number of people is coming. That way, you can organize with the firm you are hiring the number of meals to have during that day so that the guests can enjoy and have as much as they want.

Creating a custom menu is also a way of making your event successful. Having made all other arrangements, you need to ensure that the list is right. It is sad to have people in your party but have some not eating because of the food available. Share with your guest about the meals they wish to have and the meal vans will provide. They have the expertise to give a lot of varieties.

Moreover, it is good to get a permit and all necessary documents before the event. You need to make sure you have all the details of the food van because they are not allowed everywhere during the day. There are places the trailers cannot be parked, so, talk to the local authorities to give you the way forward or even the management of the venue. Know of areas that might require a permit to be safe.

Moreover, have a location ready where you want the van located. It is best if you have it close but not on a focal point that attracts the attention of the guests. You can try and have it somewhere close to the venue and not far away as the guests will have to trek for long to get food. It is also best if you situate it near the bar.

Usually, food vans will not provide you with catering staff hence you will need to get your own. There are many benefits since guests can be served while seated down. Again, used plates and leftovers will be cleared off the table leaving the place clean.

Last but not least, some people still prefer traditional buffets over the meal vans. Others will prefer meal vans hence the need to have the two services at once in the event. Everyone will have a choice of where to eat their meals from thus more fun.
