Philadelphia Hospital Catering FAQs
Common questions from hospital administrators and event coordinators across the Philly region
Which Philadelphia-area hospitals do you serve?
We serve hospital campuses across the Greater Philadelphia region, including Penn Medicine (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian), Jefferson Health locations, Temple University Hospital, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Main Line Health campuses, and Einstein Medical Center. If you have a healthcare facility in the Philly metro, we can serve it.
Does Food Truck Club work with hospital procurement departments?
Yes. We regularly work with hospital procurement and accounts payable departments to streamline vendor setup, invoicing, and payment. We can provide W-9s, certificates of insurance, and any documentation your purchasing team requires.
Can you do food truck events during Philadelphia winters?
Absolutely. While outdoor events are most popular from April through October, we run hospital events year-round. For colder months, we work with your facilities team to set up near building entrances, covered walkways, or parking structures. Many trucks also offer grab-and-go formats so staff can take meals indoors quickly.
Can you serve hospitals on both sides of the river?
Yes. We serve healthcare facilities throughout the Philly metro including campuses in Camden and South Jersey. Multi-campus events during the same recognition week are one of our specialties—we'll coordinate trucks at each location regardless of which side of the Delaware they're on.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions for diverse hospital staff?
Absolutely. Philadelphia's healthcare workforce reflects the city's diversity, and our truck network does too. We offer halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-conscious options from trucks spanning Italian, Vietnamese, Latin, and other culinary traditions.
How much does food truck catering cost for a hospital event in Philadelphia?
Typical pricing in Philadelphia ranges from $13-19 per person depending on the cuisine and truck. We work within your budget to find the right combination of trucks and service for your team size.
Are there any city permits needed for food trucks at Philadelphia hospitals?
Our team handles all permit and logistics coordination. Philadelphia has specific food truck regulations, and we ensure every vendor is fully licensed and compliant. Your coordinator manages all of this so you don't have to worry about it.
How far in advance should I book for a hospital event?
We can work with almost any timeline. While earlier notice gives you the widest selection of trucks, we regularly accommodate last-minute requests and short turnarounds. Just tell us your date and we'll make it happen.
