That's right! We will come to you!
Wait, isn't that what we do? Yes! Yes, it is! 
So let me help you choose us for your catering needs by providing some basic catering information.

Pricing: Prices are based on individual items chosen. Menu is highly customizable, but also based on space. Truck rental fee is $300 for up to 2 hours and $150 for each additional hour with the following food minimums: 
January - April: $800
May - September: $1000
October - December: $800
What is a truck rental fee? That's the service fee that covers taxes, licensing, and other necessities in bringing a licensed kitchen on wheels to your location providing made-to-order items just like a restaurant because guess what? We ARE a restaurant! This fee does NOT cover gratuity.


​
Step One: 
Choose a date. This is very important. If you are thinking about booking a June weekend event, think fast. These dates go first. And then the rest of June. And then summer. And then any major holiday. 

Step Two:
Decide on your budget. You are getting a fully licensed kitchen on wheels bringing a made-to-order menu to whichever location you choose. Our prices reflect that. We do have a minimum. We have a higher minimum on our busiest dates. So...June. Then summer. And then any major holiday. You get the picture.
​There are also additional fees based upon your location. We are located in Holly, Michigan.

Step Three:
Choose a menu. We typically tell our clients to stick with 2-3 main entrees. This is important 
especially with larger crowds (over 100). Remember, everything is made to order. That means everything is made to order. A burger will take longer than a hot dog. Donuts are faster than nachos. There will be a line. We are fast. I might say freaky fast, but I don't think I'm allowed to.
Tip: Finger foods such as fruit or salad bar help allay the hungry wild animals. We can provide that and set it up accordingly. Or your bff can chop lettuce and throw it in a bowl. You decide.

Step Four:
Pay us. But not in bananas. We take check, money order, cash, credit card (but not bitcoin because I have no idea what that even is). We have a $250 nonrefundable fee. You can read more about that in the terms and conditions. The fee books the date. Don't pay the fee? Lose the date. Sorry. People inquire almost daily so it's a very important step, even though it's step four!

Step Five:
Sit back and relax. We show up. We cook. We drive away.
