FOOD TRUCKS · WEST COAST

Food Trucks on the West Coast

The Coast is six hundred kilometres of road and not many people, so the practical question is who covers your stretch of it — Westport, Greymouth, Hokitika or further south. Say where you are and NovaPay asks accordingly.

Say the town in your request. NovaPay asks businesses working near it first rather than the whole region, so the quotes you get back are from people who will actually come.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Is there anyone on the Coast who does this?
Sometimes the honest answer is that the nearest is in Christchurch or Nelson, and the quote should say so with travel in it. NovaPay asks locally first and tells you when it has had to look further rather than quietly widening the search.
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.
