How many people can one truck serve in an hour?

The Food Hub usually gets about three orders out every 60 seconds depending on the menu, equivalent to about 180 orders an hour at that pace. That is a guide to orders, not a guaranteed guest count: tell us your numbers and service window so we can plan the trucks and menu.

Working it out for your event

  • Tell us the guest count and how long people have to eat.
  • Our standard service lasts two hours. The menu, guest count and arrival pattern determine how we plan it.
  • For a very short window with a big crowd, we bring a second truck or split the service into waves.

When we add a truck

  • Above about 500 guests.
  • When you want a choice of cuisines rather than one menu.
  • When the window is tight, like a shift change or a school break.

Real examples

  • 220 serves from one truck in a two hour window on a construction site.
  • Booked for around 800 guests at a distribution centre family day.
  • Booked for close to 1,760 guests across two larger trucks at a regional centenary celebration.
