Food truck catering in Los Angeles.

Level ground with room to park and open a service window, clearance overhead and to the sides, and either a power drop or the truck's own generator. The surface matters too — a truck that sinks into soft grass makes a longer evening for everyone.

For a private event on private property, usually not. For a public community event in Los Angeles County a truck already holding a current county permit may serve without an additional temporary-food-facility permit, while a truck without one has to obtain a permit — and once enough vendors are involved the organiser needs a permit of their own. The thresholds differ between counties, so we confirm the position for your specific event and venue rather than assuming it.

The menu decides that more than the truck does — a short menu moves a queue far faster than a broad one. We size the menu to the window you have, and past a certain headcount a second service point helps more than a second truck.
