Before Booking

与您的场地沟通

Before booking a food truck, it's important to speak to your event venue, as they may have specific catering guidelines. (If you haven't chosen a venue yet, Explore Seattle Southside can help!)

Things to discuss:

  • Where will the truck park? Trucks need a space on flat ground of at least 10 feet in width by approximately 30 feet in length, with an area for customers to stand while ordering. The venue can also help determine where the truck should be set up on the property, whether that's the parking lot, a patio, near a ballroom, or somewhere else. Note that food truck operators need access to a restroom (within 500 feet) when serving for longer than an hour.
  • Will it be catered or available for purchase? The average food truck needs a sales minimum of ($800-$1,000), and/or at least 60 customers per three to four hours of service to cover their time and costs. Some food trucks may require you to deposit a minimum amount.

寻找餐车

The next step is finding your food truck. The Washington State Food Truck Association keeps a list of member food trucks permitted to work in King County, and also offers a paid matchmaking service to help connect you with the right food truck for your event.

Additionally, you can contact the team at Seattle Southside, who can connect you with Culinex, a commissary kitchen from which many food trucks in our region operate.

This locally owned and operated business has a cafe in Tukwila, an outpost in SEA airport, and a food truck that caters to events. They also make some of the region's best coffee and bubble tea. Guests will go crazy over the signature milk teas, Vietnamese iced coffee, and specialty lattes in flavors like ube and black sesame. Owner Max Heigh is a Seattle native who also runs Sam Choy's Poke to the Max, which also has a restaurant and food truck available for catering.

克里奥尔灵魂

Creole Soul offers an authentic taste of Louisiana, serving Southern comfort food like perfectly fried catfish, crawfish mac n' cheese, and even gator on a stick. Everything is made fresh by the owner, Hampton Isom, who hails from New Orleans and runs the food truck, along with a restaurant and bar in Des Moines. The former flight attendant and pro basketball player has said he's fulfilling his lifelong dream of running a food business. It's a favorite of local companies such as Blue Origin and Microsoft, and it's a common sight at Seattle's major sports stadiums.

El Koreano

Tukwila-based El Koreano combines Mexican and Korean cuisine, and the result is as surprising as it is delicious.

This Tukwila-based company serves events throughout the Puget Sound region and can accomodate up to 200 people.
