How much does it cost to cater 200 people?

Food truck catering for 200 guests with The Food Hub usually costs $3,600 to $7,000 plus GST, based on $18 to $35 per head plus GST depending on the menu. One truck comfortably handles 200 guests over a two hour service.

The maths

  • 200 guests at $18 per head plus GST is $3,600 plus GST for a simple menu such as snack packs or tacos.
  • 200 guests at $35 per head plus GST is $7,000 plus GST for a richer menu or more than one cuisine.
  • Both figures include the crew, setup, pack down, packaging and $20M public liability insurance.

How the service runs

  • One truck. A single truck comfortably serves 60 to 600 guests.
  • About two hours of service, with roughly three orders coming out every 60 seconds depending on the menu.
  • Tell us whether guests will arrive together or in waves so we can plan the service around your timetable.

What can add to it

  • A second cuisine, which usually means a second truck.
  • A weekend date under the $2,500 plus GST minimum is not an issue at 200 guests.
  • Travel beyond about an hour and a half of Lakemba.
