How booking works

Find a truck
Browse by town, event or the food you want, and check each truck's photos, menu if it has one, and the areas it travels to.
- 2
Send your event details
Tap Request Booking on the truck's page. We open WhatsApp with your date, guest numbers and venue filled in, or email it to the truck, so the request goes straight to them.
- 3
Agree the details with the truck
The truck should reply with a quote and its availability. If you don't hear back in a day or two, phone them. Menu, price, deposit and travel are arranged directly between you and the truck.
Food Truck Finder doesn't take bookings or payments. Your request and any quote stay between you and the truck.
Good to know before you book
A few questions worth asking every truck before you confirm.
Run a food truck? List it for free- Many spit braai and event caterers set a minimum number of guests, often 25 to 35, so ask before you book.
- Ask whether travel, the chef or braai master, cutlery and crockery are included in the quote.
- Check what the truck needs on site: space to park, level ground, and whether it needs power or water.
- Book early for December, long weekends and Saturdays in wedding season.
