Description

The paperwork and numbers behind a food truck: a catering & private event agreement covering final guest count, deposits, site requirements, allergens and weather; a catering inquiry form with a site check; daily opening and closing checklists; cold/hot holding, cooking and cooling temperature logs with common FDA Food Code limits; and an event-day service SOP. The workbook quotes catering per guest from your own menu costs, tracks bookings and deposits, logs every shift's sales, tickets, food and packaging cost and waste by location, and shows monthly profit.

Editable documents (6 DOCX files, US Letter): Catering & Private Event Agreement; Catering Inquiry & Event Intake; Daily Opening Checklist; Daily Closing Checklist; Temperature Logs; Event-Day Service SOP.

Operations workbook (9 sheets, 7,221 formulas): Settings, a 16-item catering price list with food cost and margin, a per-guest catering quote calculator (tax, deposit, cost and gross profit), a bookings tracker with balances and overdue flags, a daily sales log by location (average ticket, food + packaging cost %, sales per hour, waste, over-target flag), income and expenses, a monthly profit summary and a dashboard with chart. The Example copy is filled with a fictional taco truck (Fuego Street Kitchen) with street service and 2026 catering bookings (52 bookings, 403 income and expense lines); the Blank copy has the price list and drop-down lists ready to edit.

Printable PDF in US Letter and A4 (12 pages): a quick start and every document, ready to print and fill in by hand.

Tested: workbook formulas recalculated in LibreOffice Calc and checked against independently computed values (example, blank and an edge-case copy); DOCX files opened and rendered in LibreOffice Writer. Not tested in Microsoft Excel, Word, Google Sheets/Docs or Apple apps.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a physical product?

No. This is a digital download. Nothing is shipped — you download the files from your account after purchase.

How do I get my files?

After payment, go to My Downloads in your account. Your purchase stays available there to re-download.

What can I do with it?

Use for yourself, your household or your own business. Print unlimited copies for that use. No reselling or sharing the files.

Are the temperature limits official?

They follow common limits in the US FDA Food Code. Your state or local health department's rules apply and may differ; check them and edit the table in the DOCX.

Can I use the Daily Sales Log without the catering parts?

Yes. Street service works on its own: log each shift and watch the summary for average ticket, cost % and over-target shifts.

Can I put my own logo and business name on the documents?

Yes. Every DOCX is fully editable: replace the header with your logo, change the wording and save your own versions. The standard licence lets you use completed documents with your own clients.

Is the agreement legally binding as is?

It's a starting template, not legal advice. Rules differ by state, province and country, so have a local lawyer review it before you use it.

Do I need A4 documents?

The PDF comes in US Letter and A4. The DOCX files are set to US Letter; switch them to A4 in your word processor's page setup.

Which apps has it been tested in?

LibreOffice Calc and Writer (formulas recalculated and checked against expected values). Not tested in Excel, Word, Google Sheets/Docs or Numbers/Pages.
