Class Reunion Food Trucks Guide
Booking food trucks as the main catering for an outdoor reunion. A practical, decision-ready class reunion playbook with the next moves, common mistakes, and answers organizers need before they commit.
Quick answer
Food trucks give a fun, casual vibe and let guests choose, but you must confirm power, permits, and throughput before booking. Plan one truck per roughly 75 guests so lines stay short during your window.

Start planning freeThe decision that makes class reunion food trucks guide easier
Booking food trucks as the main catering for an outdoor reunion. Start with a written decision, an owner, and a date for the next checkpoint. That turns a vague committee conversation into a plan people can follow and lets you explain the why to every guest.
- Ask each truck for its per-hour serving capacity and a flat buyout price.
- Confirm the venue allows trucks and whether a fire or health permit is required.
- Book at least two trucks with different menus so vegetarians and kids have options.
What experienced organizers avoid
Most reunion stress comes from making promises before the constraints are clear. Protect the guest experience by surfacing the tradeoffs early, documenting the decision, and giving people one reliable place to find the latest answer.
- Do not rely on one truck for a crowd over 100 or lines will ruin the mood.
- Do not forget to verify generator noise and placement with the venue.
- Do not skip a rain plan since most trucks cannot serve into a covered indoor space.
Turn the decision into a shared plan
Use one shared source of truth for the people, money, timing, and messages behind this decision. The organizer should not be the only person who knows what was agreed or what happens next.
- Assign one owner and one backup for the next action.
- Put the deadline and the decision in the guest-facing update.
- Review the result after the reunion so next time starts smarter.
