Frequently Asked Questions
How much can a food truck make at an event?
Transactions × average ticket. A truck serving 60 orders/hour at $14 for 5 busy hours grosses $4,200. Realistic serving speed — not attendance — is usually the binding constraint.
How many orders per hour can a truck realistically serve?
A dialed-in 2–3 person crew handles 40–80 orders/hour depending on menu complexity. Simplifying the event menu to 3–4 items can nearly double throughput.
How do I evaluate whether an event fee is worth it?
Estimate revenue conservatively (attendance × 5–15% capture × your ticket), subtract food cost and the fee, and compare against your best regular spot. Guaranteed-fee events beat percentage-of-sales at big festivals.
