Food Truck Catering: How to Break Into the Event Scene

Expanding your food truck business to expand catering events can open a whole new world of opportunities. Weddings, corporate parties, birthday parties, community events, and more. Here are some tips for breaking into the event scene:

  • Create a Catering-Specific Menu: Catering is a whole different ball park from everyday food truck service. Your menu should try to focus on a few signature dishes that are easy to make in bulk. You should also try to include dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten options.
  • Network with Event Planners and Industry Insiders: Event planners can be your best friend in the catering world. They can help give you an “in” to events you might not hear about. 
  • Market your Catering Services: Getting the word about that you’re available for catering is key to being successful. Social media is a great way to target your audience.
