How Our Catering Estimates Work
Every estimate in this calculator is built from real menu pricing submitted by food trucks on Food Truck Club. When you select a city, we pull the current average price per item for each truck's mains, sides, desserts, and specialty drinks, then multiply by your guest count. If a truck's calculated total falls below its minimum order, we adjust to that minimum so the estimate reflects what you'd actually pay.
These numbers are averages across each truck's full menu and are shown before sales tax. Your final cost depends on the items you choose, any dietary accommodations, and logistics like travel distance or a longer service window. For what events actually cost once booked, by guest count and cuisine, see the food truck catering cost guide.
For larger events with 150 or more guests, consider adding a second truck. Splitting guests across two trucks cuts wait times and lets you offer more cuisine variety. The calculator automatically divides your guest count evenly when multiple trucks are selected so you can see the per-truck breakdown side by side.
Pricing comes directly from the menus food trucks maintain on Food Truck Club, so the per-person costs here move as trucks update their prices. When you have a shortlist, open a truck to see its full menu and place an order, or send your event details once and let the trucks in your city respond.
