frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum or maximum guest count?

Our food trucks are designed for events of all sizes.

  • Food Truck Catering: Ideal for approximately 50–500+ guests

  • Mobile Grill: Perfect for 30–150 guests

Hosting a larger celebration? We can bring multiple trucks or combine our food truck and mobile grill to increase capacity and expand your menu options.

Minimum investment: $2,000 for food truck catering or $1,500 for our mobile grill.

Do you offer both host-paid and guest-paid events?

Yes.

Whether you’re treating every guest to a catered meal or inviting guests to purchase individually, we can accommodate both styles of service.

For guest-paid events, a minimum sales guarantee applies. We may also require a non-refundable reservation deposit to secure your event date.

How does food truck service work?

We offer three service styles depending on your event.

Traditional Food Truck
Guests order directly from the serving window for the classic food truck experience.

Hybrid Service (Most Popular)
Our signature service style combines freshly prepared food from the truck with a beautifully presented buffet. Food is continuously replenished so guests can enjoy restaurant-quality cuisine without spending the event standing in line. Guests with dietary restrictions or special requests can still order directly from our chefs at the serving window.

How long is service?

Most events include approximately two hours of food service.

Our team typically arrives 1–2 hours before service to prepare, cook, and set up. Additional service time is available if you’d like us to stay longer.

Can I combine multiple food truck concepts?

Absolutely.

Many events combine concepts such as tacos and burgers, BBQ and comfort food, or brunch with coffee service to create a menu that fits their guests.

Combining multiple concepts may require additional staffing or equipment and may increase package pricing depending on the menus selected.

What does food truck catering cost?

Every event is different. Pricing depends on your menu, guest count, service style, and event location. Most hosted food truck events begin around $22 per guest, with a $2,000 minimum for our full-service food truck and a $1,500 minimum for our mobile grill.

We’ll happily provide a custom quote based on your event.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely.

Many of our menus can be prepared vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free. We can also modify existing menu items or create entirely custom menus to accommodate dietary needs and allergies.

Can we customize the menu?

Yes.

Every event begins with one of our featured food truck concepts, but we love creating custom culinary experiences.

Whether you’re envisioning Mediterranean, ramen, curry bowls, pasta, brunch, regional specialties, family recipes, or something completely original, we’ll create a menu designed specifically for your event.

How far do you travel?

We regularly cater throughout the Denver metro area and typically serve events within a 30-mile radius.

Travel outside that area is available for an additional mileage fee, plus any required city permits or licensing.
