No, this isn’t Mario Kart™, but you still get to choose your cart. Our first-rate food carts are the perfect addition to your private event, serving up a straightforward menu of finger foods and shareable bites prepared before arrival. Whether it be an appetizer, dessert truck, or anything in between we have you covered.
Food truck catering brings a unique flare to any catered event, but it isn't always possible to allocate the space for a full-size truck. With the compact nature of our premier food carts, you can bring the exciting menus of food trucks indoors or to more confined spaces!

FOOD CARTS FOR
EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING
Food carts are a great way to test out
some experiential marketing for your
brand. Give potential customers a unique
opportunity to explore your brand in an
up-close and innovative way.
Take Rag & Bone, for example, a clothing
brand that set up a “deli” food cart outside
Nordstrom’s flagship location in NYC. The
brand showcased exclusive clothes, shoes,
and accessories in a creative take on the
classic NYC deli stand, using special
promotions and collecting emails for the
chance to win gift cards. This allowed
customers to experience the brand in a
way they never had before, piquing
interest on the street, a previously
untapped market.

fabulous food carts for experiential
marketing, you can learn more at

FAQ'S
Are there eco-friendly food carts?
Yes! Food carts and food trucks are sustainably driven by less energy consumption and locally sourced ingredients. Many of our food carts and food trucks run on biodiesel, a fuel made from vegetable oil.
