Why Should I Switch From My Current Catering to Corporate Food Truck Catering?

If you already get food from banquet or trough-style catering in giant metal trays, then many corporate catering problems might look familiar to you. Let’s look at why corporate food truck catering is a better option.

The Problems With Traditional Corporate Catering

The problem with traditional catering is that you’re making food for everyone, but not everyone is going to eat it. And the rest of that food becomes waste that goes straight into the garbage. The best part? You’re paying for all that food that gets dumped.

Catering dishes provide very little choice for people, especially for those with dietary restrictions. Typically, you’re going to have 1-2 meat plates, 1 veggie option, maybe 1-2 sides, and that’s it. Forget about the flexibility of a full menu or items like burritos or sandwiches with custom fillings. And if someone is allergic to garlic or something specific, they might literally not be able to eat anything with this cookie-cutter approach.

While catering trays might be kept hot, they certainly aren’t fresh or made-to-order. Those metal trays had food in them likely hours before you even eat it, so the chances of getting fresh, crunchy, or non-soggy food becomes slim to none.

Why Traditional Catering Falls Short

In other words, if you’re using traditional catering, you’re paying for food that gets thrown into the garbage, you’re limiting your options, you’re not providing choices for those with dietary restrictions or food allergies, you’re not allowing people to make their own choices about what they want to eat, and you’re having people settle for food premade hours before they actually eat it.

The Benefits of Switching to Best Food Trucks (BFT)

With Best Food Trucks (BFT), food is only made for people ordering, so there’s drastically less food waste. Instead of only one or two main options, people can choose from a full food truck menu of delicious entrees and appetizers. We have everything from coffee, dessert, and ice cream food trucks to hotdog and taco food trucks.

If someone hates mushrooms, is allergic to garlic, or is vegan/gluten-free, or wants the sauce on the side or any other modification, they have the choice to eat what they actually want. We even have halal food trucks for hire.

Streamlined Employer-Paid Lunch Program

To help companies with catering switch to this drastically better experience with corporate food truck catering, Best Food Trucks (BFT) also offers a streamlined employer-paid lunch program, meaning offices can put a payment option on file, select which days and how much they’re willing to cover, and create a whitelist of people who are eligible.

For example, an office can set eligible days to every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and offer up to $15 in credits for employees. Anything over $15, the employee can put a card on file and cover. This program applies to all the food truck rentals on our platform, so no need to keep running down to food trucks with a corporate card for every lunch shift.

Paying Only for What You Use

Now, companies are only paying for food that’s actually used, rather than ordering catering for everyone and having food wasted because of employees who called in sick, didn’t like the option, were too busy in a meeting, or for any other reason.

Plus, we’ll give companies reports on which food trucks showed up, how many orders, reviews, and feedback, and other reporting to provide transparency in the cost of food trucks and how the program is going overall.

Why Corporate Food Truck Catering Is the Future of Office Meals?

Food truck catering offers a flexibility and variety that traditional catering can’t match. Employees today expect more control over their food choices, including healthier, diet-friendly options like gluten-free, vegan, and halal dishes. With food trucks, every meal is made fresh to order, ensuring that employees receive meals that are tailored to their preferences, rather than generic options.

Additionally, food truck catering eliminates the need for large amounts of food that go to waste, making it a more sustainable option for companies that care about reducing their environmental impact.

How the Employer-Paid Lunch Program Saves Companies Money?

One of the standout features of BFT’s catering solution is the employer-paid lunch program. Unlike traditional catering, where companies often pay for food that goes uneaten, BFT allows companies to only pay for food that’s actually ordered and consumed. This drastically reduces waste and ensures that every dollar spent is used efficiently. The flexible credit system allows companies to set limits and only pay for specific days, making it easier to manage budgets without sacrificing employee satisfaction.

Employee Satisfaction and Corporate Food Truck Catering

Switching to food truck catering doesn’t just save money—it boosts employee morale and productivity. When employees know they have access to fresh, made-to-order meals, they’re more likely to look forward to lunch breaks, leading to increased satisfaction. The ability to order exactly what they want, without the limitations of traditional catering, leads to happier, more engaged employees.

By offering food truck catering, companies can enhance the lunch hour experience, reduce wasted time standing in lines, and provide a greater sense of community as employees enjoy more diverse and personalized meals.
