Food Trucks Brisbane
Depending on your event type, plans and goals, food trucks can be a great addition to your next event. With the right plan and research in place, a food truck can make your event less stressful and are always a hit with guests and kids alike.
Like with any event decision, as we always say, you need to think about the style of the event, the people attending and also your venue’s requirements. Please keep in mind that not all venue’s will allow food trucks. If you really want a food truck, but aren’t sure where you can have one, check out our blog on BYO Venues in Brisbane, to see if there’s a venue that might work for you.
Food trucks are BYO/ DIY events best friends, there are so many little elements you need to think about when it comes to catering. Bins, water to wash, crockery and cutlery, storage, tables… the list goes on. Food trucks are basically a one and done, all inclusive solution to your catering needs.
There are so many advantages to having a food truck at your next event!
Mobility
Being a truck, your catering station can go pretty well anywhere within your set up. Unlike a traditional remote kitchen that needs access to water, power, ventilation and needs to be hidden, a food truck often eliminates most of these issues.
Quick Service
Picture a food truck at a fete or a carnival, it’s usually a pretty quick in and win situation. Line up, order what you’re after and grab what you need. Food trucks, usually help to feed a lot of people in a relatively short period of time.
Payment options
If you’re running a community event, or a public facing event, food trucks are a great option to allow everyone to pay for the food they eat. Food trucks are often equipped with payment methods and reduces the event overheads with you having to pay for everything.
Excitement Factor
Who doesn’t love seeing a food truck pumping out delicious eats at an event? A food truck will get your guests more excited about what their about to eat. It also proves to be a great talking point for everyone that attends, and a good opportunity for networking and conversations to be had whilst waiting for food around the truck.
So we know that food trucks are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but who do you go to for the latest street eats?
