Workplace Food Truck Events — Philadelphia & New Jersey
Grilly Cheese is a self-contained food truck operation serving corporate offices, business campuses, warehouses, and workplace events across Philadelphia and New Jersey. The truck parks on-site, the crew handles setup and service, and employees order fresh-made food at the window — no venue kitchen, no outside vendor coordination, no disruption to your workday. Trusted by Target, Johnson & Johnson, Princeton University, Rutgers, Merck, Wells Fargo, and Comcast for workplace events since 2012.
Quick Answer
The truck arrives, parks in your lot or loading area, sets up in 30–45 minutes, and serves employees fresh to order. We handle everything — you provide the date, address, and headcount. Throughput is 100+ guests per hour. Submit a quote request to confirm your date.
The whole point is that it does not create work for you. Here is what happens on event day.
30–45 minutes before service to confirm parking, access, and setup
No venue kitchen needed — the truck carries its own equipment and power
Made-to-order service keeps food fresh and lines moving
1–4 hours depending on team size; shift rotations available for large groups
Everything breaks down and leaves — lot is left clean
Service timing and logistics scale with headcount. Here is how we approach each range.
Most professional properties can accommodate a food truck. Here are the most common workplace setups and what to plan for each.
The most common setup. Confirm truck access route, parking surface, security check-in, and whether employees badge out to reach the lot.
Loading dock areas and employee entrances work well. Coordinate truck placement with shift schedules to avoid traffic during break windows.
Works best in designated vendor areas or main lot access points. Time service windows around shift handoffs, not active patient care hours.
Campus events require pre-approved vendor placement. Confirm with facilities management before booking. Pedestrian flow planning is important.
Works well when there is paved surface access. Confirm truck clearance from building HVAC vents and any fire lane restrictions.
If the location has no parking lot or outdoor access, drop-off catering delivers fresh food without the truck. Ask about that option when you request a quote.

Common questions about hiring a food truck for office and company events
The truck parks in your lot or loading area, sets up in 30–45 minutes, and opens for service. Employees order at the window, food is made fresh to order, and the crew handles everything from service to cleanup. You coordinate the date, headcount, and service window — we handle the rest.
Grilly Cheese serves 100+ guests per hour under normal conditions. Teams of 50–75 work well with a 1–1.5 hour service window. Teams of 100–250 typically use a 2–3 hour window or staggered lunch waves. For 250–500+ employees, we plan shift-based service rotations to maintain throughput without long lines.
The truck needs approximately 30 ft of length by 10 ft of width, plus room for a service line. Most office parks, corporate campuses, and warehouse loading areas can accommodate this. For indoor-only locations, ask about drop-off catering as an alternative.
Yes. Shift-change service is one of the most common workplace setups. The truck stays on-site across multiple waves so first and second shifts both receive fresh, hot food without a single bottleneck window.
Yes. A COI naming your organization or venue is available for any booking. Most corporate campuses, office parks, and facilities require this, and we provide it as a standard part of the process.
2–4 weeks is standard for most workplace events. For high-demand dates — Employee Appreciation Week (first week of March), Nurses Week, end-of-year events — book earlier. Fridays and spring dates fill fastest.
Most company events fall in the $8–$30+ per person range, depending on menu selections, service duration, and guest count. A typical office lunch for 75–150 people runs $1,500–$4,500 all-in. Submit your headcount and date for a custom quote.
We operate in rain. The truck has a covered service window, and employees can queue under the overhang or nearby covered area. For severe weather, we can adjust service timing or pivot to drop-off catering with advance notice.
