Set a catering minimum before you quote
Check food, packaging, crew, travel, service time, deposit, and margin before you send a price.
Food truck event tools
Check the numbers before you commit to a private party, corporate lunch, brewery pop-up, festival fee, or guest-paid event.
What the toolkit helps with
Check food, packaging, crew, travel, service time, deposit, and margin before you send a price.
Track follow-up, deposit status, final count, parking, power, prep notes, and service details before they get buried in texts and email.
Compare the vendor fee, sales estimate, labor, travel, and actual result before you book the same kind of event again.
What this is not
Use Food Truck ROI for the event work that happens before and after service: pricing the job, keeping the booking details straight, and checking whether the event was worth the date. It does not replace payment processing, inventory, accounting, online ordering, contracts, or full CRM software.
Start free
The free calculator gives you a quick way to see whether the event can cover food, packaging, labor, travel, service time, and margin before you build the full quote.
Pricing guides
Use the catering pricing guide and minimum guarantee guide when a client wants host-paid catering, guest-paid service, or a guarantee.
Toolkit pages
Compare the quote calculator, spreadsheet template, and booking pages when you need more than a quick minimum check.
Where to start
Some jobs only need a quick minimum check. Others need a guarantee, a full quote, or a closer look at the fee before you hold the date.
Start with the free minimum calculator, then use the catering pricing guide before you write the quote.
Check the minimumUse the minimum guarantee guide when guests will pay at the truck and turnout is still uncertain.
Review guaranteesRun the event through the profit calculator before you commit the truck, crew, prep time, and fee.
