Food Truck Booking Form
A food truck booking form has to establish whether your truck physically fits and whether it can run. Pitch dimensions, ground surface, power and expected footfall - before anything about the menu.
For caterers, food trucks, bakeries and private chefs.
The pitch either fits or it doesn't
A booking you can't physically service is worse than no booking. Height restrictions, soft ground, a courtyard with a 2.1-metre archway - each one is a cancellation on the morning if it isn't asked about weeks earlier.
So this template asks for the pitch size, the surface and the access route, plus whether power is available and at what rating. Those four answers decide whether you accept, and they cost the customer thirty seconds.
Requests you can actually schedule
A name and "sometime next week" isn't a booking. What you need is when they can come, what they want, and how to reach them if the slot moves.
This template asks all three, so the diary entry is a copy-and-paste rather than a conversation.
Allergies are not an optional field
Headcount, date and venue set the quote; allergies and dietary requirements decide whether the day goes well or badly. Both belong on the same form, asked before you cost the job, not confirmed by text the night before.
Written answers matter here more than most trades: when someone tells you in writing what they can't eat, there is a record of exactly what you were told.
Give them options, not a blank box
Open questions get vague answers. Offering the services and the times you actually have makes the request usable, and quietly steers people towards the slots you want to fill.
Make it yours in a minute
Change the wording, drop the questions you don't need, add the ones you do, put your own colour on it. Saving publishes it, and you get a link to paste into your website, your email signature or a message. Responses land in your dashboard and download as a spreadsheet whenever you want them.

Questions
Should I ask for expected numbers?
Always - it determines stock, staff and whether the booking is viable. Ask for a range and whether it's a captive audience or passing footfall; the two convert completely differently.
How do I handle minimum spend?
State it in the introduction and ask them to acknowledge it. Private bookings with no guaranteed spend are where most trucks lose money.
Does this book the slot automatically?
No - it collects a request, and you confirm it. That's deliberate: real diaries have exceptions, and a form that promises a slot you can't honour costs more than one that asks.
Can I limit the options people can pick?
Yes. The service and time-of-day lists are yours to edit, so people can only choose from what you actually offer. You can also close the form when you're full.
Will I know straight away?
Yes, if you want to be. Turn on live notifications and every request is emailed to you the moment it arrives; otherwise collect them and read them in your dashboard.
Can I take deposits through the form?
Not yet - payments aren't built in. Most caterers use the form to capture and confirm the brief, then invoice for the deposit, which also means you check the date is free before taking money.
