"Smart Drinks was awesome to work with! Our residents loved both the service and the smoothies they provided. They arrived on time and stayed until 7:00 p.m., just as we requested. We would love to work with them again and hope they enjoyed being here at SYNC as much as we enjoyed having them. Thank you, Ali!"

"The food quality was excellent, and employees had great things to say about the pizzas. The team was friendly, and the product itself was a hit with our attendees. The primary challenge was service speed during a large-volume event. As demand increased, wait times grew to approximately an hour, and the truck ultimately had to stop accepting orders to catch up with the backlog. For an event of this size, a service model that allows for faster throughput may be beneficial. For future large corporate events, I would recommend exploring a by-the-slice approach or other pre-prepared service options to help move guests through the line more efficiently while still maintaining the quality of the food. Overall, the food was fantastic, but adjustments to the service model would help improve the guest experience for larger crowds."

"Friohana Shave Ice was a fan favorite throughout the event and proved to be the perfect addition for a hot Texas summer day. Employees loved having a cold, refreshing option, and there was a steady stream of guests visiting the truck from start to finish. The variety of flavors, quick service, and overall quality made Friohana a big hit with attendees. The shave ice provided a welcome break from the heat and complemented the other food options well. Many employees commented on how refreshing the treats were, especially given the warm weather conditions. The team was efficient, friendly, and kept the line moving, helping guests get back to enjoying the event quickly."

"As the event progressed, the truck did sell out of several menu items and was limited to serving pork options toward the end. This reduced the variety available to late-arriving guests. There were also some delays in food service later in the event as demand increased. Despite these challenges, attendees generally enjoyed the food, and the truck remained popular throughout the day. The positive feedback speaks to the quality of the menu and the team's efforts to serve a large crowd."
