When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Houston, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Waffle bus when you book.
Space needed

A flat, accessible parking spot—typically 12' × 25' for most trucks

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What does Waffle bus serve?
Waffle bus serves Chicken, Sandwiches, American and Burgers.Popular menu items include Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle, Chicken Sandwich and Chicken Thunder Fries.Most servings run about $15 before tax. The full menu with current prices is above.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, Waffle bus has a minimum order of $938, which works out to roughly 66 servings at this menu's prices. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Houston location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Waffle bus includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, setup and breakdown, and travel within the Houston service area. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Waffle bus?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Waffle bus typically answers a request within 7 hours, so you'll know quickly whether the date is open. Food trucks in Houston book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Waffle bus cater?
Recent bookings through Food Truck Club include a 150-guest event in League City (September 2026) and a 100-guest event in Houston (September 2026), out of 23 events catered so far. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Houston are all bookable from this page.
Where does Waffle bus serve?
Waffle bus is based in Houston, TX and takes bookings across Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Walker, Waller and Wharton Counties. Travel inside that area is part of the quote; for a venue outside it, submit the request and the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Waffle bus hasn't listed specific dietary menus, but most trucks can adapt a few items. Describe what you need, including allergies, in your booking request and the truck will confirm what it can safely prepare.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Waffle bus will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
