Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about school and campus food truck catering

Do you cater events at public schools?

Yes. We cater school staff appreciation lunches, teacher appreciation weeks, fundraisers, and special student events at public and private schools throughout NJ and PA. We can provide a certificate of insurance for your district.

Can you serve students and faculty on a university campus?

Absolutely. We've served events at Rutgers, Princeton, and other campuses across the region. Campus parking lots, quads, and courtyards all work well for the truck as long as there's vehicle access.

What events at schools do you typically cater?

Staff appreciation days, teacher appreciation week, graduation parties, end-of-year celebrations, school fundraisers, campus orientation events, back-to-school lunches, and spirit days are all common.

Do you need access to the school's kitchen?

No — our truck is entirely self-contained with its own cooking equipment and generator. We don't need access to your school's kitchen or power supply.
