- Do you hold a food permit or license and liability insurance? Can our venue get a certificate of insurance?
- How do you handle allergies and vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or kosher meals?
- When is the final headcount due, and can it change after that?
- Most trucks quote a minimum (often a few hundred to a few thousand dollars) rather than a per-person price.
