What is a “food truck minimum” and why does it exist?
A food truck or cart minimum is the lowest amount a vendor will charge to attend your event. Think of it this way: unlike a stationary restaurant, a food truck or cart is essentially a mobile kitchen. This fee helps cover essential costs like fuel, food, staff, and travel time.
Minimum Rental: Most trucks or carts have a set rental minimum to ensure their expenses are met and the event is financially worthwhile.
Minimum Rental: Many food trucks or carts have a minimum rental fee, regardless of the number of guests.
Understanding the food truck or cart minimum helps clients plan budgets realistically and ensures that the vendor relationship is fair and sustainable. It's not just a charge—it's a baseline that keeps these unique, mobile food businesses rolling. At SPB Event Services, we proudly offer access to a diverse network of over 27 food trucks. This includes not only our own in-house carts and trucks, but also trusted partnerships with our sister companies. These relationships allow us to provide a wide variety of high-quality, crowd-pleasing food options tailored to meet the needs of any event.
