FAQ

FAQs: Atlanta Private Event Food Truck Catering

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

Can food trucks serve at private homes in Atlanta?

Yes. Many Atlanta food trucks regularly serve private residences, backyard cookouts, and home celebrations across neighborhoods like Buckhead, Decatur, East Atlanta, and Marietta. Food Truck Club connects you with vendors experienced in residential events so you can browse Atlanta food trucks, check menus, and request your date in minutes.

Do private events require permits?

Permit needs depend on location. Private property events in Atlanta generally do not require a separate event permit for the host, as your food truck vendor already holds their own mobile food service license. For events at HOA-managed communities or shared property in metro Atlanta, it is worth confirming any neighborhood-specific rules in advance.

How many trucks should I book?

Most private events with 40-80 guests do well with one hearty main truck serving comfort-forward food. For gatherings over 100 guests or celebrations running three hours or more, adding a dessert truck like banana pudding or baked goods keeps guests satisfied. Food Truck Club lets you compare pricing and menus to build the right lineup.

Can dietary needs be accommodated?

Yes. Many Atlanta food trucks offer vegetarian, vegan, and dietary-friendly menu items alongside their main offerings. When browsing trucks on Food Truck Club, you can review full menus and reach out to vendors directly to confirm options for guests with allergies or specific dietary preferences before booking.

Do food trucks handle setup and cleanup?

Yes. Food trucks manage their own setup and cleanup, typically arriving 30-60 minutes early and clearing out completely after service. You do not need to provide cooking equipment, tables, or waste disposal. Just ensure a level parking area with enough space for the truck, and your vendor takes care of everything else.
