FOOD TRUCKS · WAIKATO

Food Trucks in the Waikato

The Waikato runs from the Coromandel beaches through Hamilton to the King Country, and a business in one of those is not necessarily working in the others. Say the town and the job and NovaPay asks locally rather than regionally.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Does a Hamilton business cover the Coromandel?
Some do for larger jobs and almost none do for small ones — it is a two-hour drive over the Kopu hill. NovaPay asks the businesses working in your town first, and the quote states any travel charge rather than adding it later.
How is it priced?
Usually a minimum spend or a per head rate, sometimes with a travel charge. Ask which, because a minimum spend on a small guest list works out very differently from a per head price.
What do they need on site?
Access for the truck, level ground and often power, though many carry a generator. Say what the site is like in your request, since it is the thing most likely to rule a truck out.
What if it rains?
Trucks serve in the rain; your guests queue in it. Think about shelter for the queue rather than for the truck, and ask what they have done at similar sites.
Can they cover dietaries?
Most carry at least a vegetarian option and many do gluten free, but a single truck has a small menu by nature. Say the requirements up front so you are matched with one that can.
