Street Eats Book a Truck

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.

Is the price per person?
Headcount is for planning. It is not a price per person. The truck writes one quote for the event, and that quote is the price.
Can I set up a weekly office lunch?
Each truck and each event is its own booking. There is no automatic recurring booking and no single checkout for several trucks.
When does my company pay?
The deposit reserves the date. The rest of the invoice is paid in the same booking by its due date. Card processing and tax are shown at checkout.
How is this different from a catering marketplace like ezCater?
In Street Eats you book a specific truck, often one you have seen serving on the live map, and talk with that food host in the booking thread. The truck writes the quote. You pay the quote plus card processing and tax shown at checkout. Street Eats does not sell leads, charge a monthly lead fee, or cook the food. The booking fee is 4.99% of the accepted quote, paid by the truck.
