How it compares

Know what you are booking.

Street Eats Book a Truck

  • You book the actual truck, often one you have seen serving on the live map.
  • You talk with the food host directly in the booking thread.
  • You see the truck's live location when it broadcasts, its menu and its reviews.
  • The truck writes the quote. You pay that quote plus card processing and tax shown at checkout.

Catering marketplaces such as ezCater

  • An online marketplace for ordering catering from participating restaurants and caterers.
  • Often used for workplace meals and group orders.
  • Check each service for how its orders, fees and delivery work.

Traditional caterers

  • A caterer plans the menu with you and prepares the food.
  • Many offer staff, setup, rentals or plated service.
  • Quotes and payment follow each caterer's own process.

Street Eats does not cook the food and does not replace a full-service caterer. If you need plated service, staff or rentals, a caterer may fit better. If you want a specific truck at your event, book the truck.

The details

Questions before you book.

From the first quote to the day of your event.

Can I book a food truck for a backyard party?

Book a participating truck for a party, wedding, or office lunch in Street Eats 2.0.0. The public app gets Bookings with that store release. Send the address, where the truck can park, the headcount and the service window.

Where does the truck park?

Tell the truck about the driveway, street parking, gate width and any HOA or neighborhood rules. The truck confirms what works. Local rules and permits still apply.

What if my plans change?

The cancellation rule is the one the truck chose, and you see it before you pay. If you cancel after the deposit is paid, that rule decides the food refund. Card processing is not returned.

What if the truck does not show up?

If the truck does not check in and you report a no-show after the event starts, you get back everything you paid, card processing included. If the truck did check in, Street Eats reads the thread instead of refunding automatically.

Does Street Eats set the price?

No. The truck writes the quote, including any travel or site charges. Street Eats keeps the record and moves the money.
