- How far in advance should I book the food truck?
- We recommend booking Buddy's BBQ & Bites at least 2-4 weeks before your event date. Food trucks in Austin book quickly during peak seasons (Spring and Fall), so earlier is always better. For large corporate events with 100+ guests, 30 days advance notice ensures menu availability and proper staffing.
- What types of events do you cater?
- Buddy's BBQ & Bites caters corporate lunches, office parties, employee appreciation events, team building gatherings, company picnics, community festivals, university events, government functions, holiday parties, and private celebrations throughout Austin and surrounding areas.
- Is there a minimum order or guest count?
- Yes, Buddy's BBQ & Bites has a minimum order of $1,250.00. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Austin location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider our attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.

- No utilities required. Buddy's BBQ & Bites is completely self-sufficient with onboard generators, water tanks, and cooking equipment.

This makes food truck catering ideal for outdoor venues, parking lots, parks, and locations without kitchen facilities.
