Food Truck Vs. Traditional Catering: Which Is Right for Your Event?

As 2025 begins to take up speed, leading us all to the events and celebrations that add a luster to real life, you may already be thinking ahead to your next big event, and at this stage in your planning are starting to consider the food. The food is generally the most important part of any celebration, setting the stage for success or failure, and can bring you the most heartache if not handled right. And with your busy life, catering the all-important meal is probably the direction in which you are heading, while trying to decide should you go with that fancy and expensive catering service your neighbor used at her last event or would a food truck in AZ, our Aioli Gourmet Burgers food truck, to be more exact, be the best solution?

You Know What Our Answer Would Be

Of course, we would highly recommend our food truck, and yes, we may have a little bias there, but we also have some cold, hard facts that will back up our cause, starting with cost. You’ve already realized that hiring a traditional caterer will put a considerable ding in your shin dig budget, but do you know that hiring a food truck will cost considerably less, anywhere from 15% to 20% less on average? Those numbers can really add up, enabling you to spend more on entertainment, alcohol, decorations, or gifts for the guest of honor.

That Wow Factor

Traditional caterers do good work in most cases and we are not going to insult their competency, but nothing compares to the wow factor when our colorful food truck rolls into place. Offering a presence that will be remembered by all who attend, much more than a bunch of people wandering around a room wearing white shirts, black pants, and holding up trays of hors d’oeuvres ever could. And the scents that waft from the window of our food trucks? That right there would convince most people that you are the host who knows the most!

But What About the Yum Factor?

You and your guests have probably been patronizing our brick and mortar locations for years, having already developed a love for our delicious burgers, but if you are new in town, why not consider dropping by our shop on Shea and giving us a taste test? You have to love the product too and we look forward to showing off. Stop by soon, and if you love it (Everyone does!), give us a call at 602-848-8823 and let’s get this party planning started!
