🍔 Buffet Catering FAQ
Do you offer buffet-style burger catering services?
Yes! Our buffet catering service is the perfect solution for events where you want a high-end presentation with the speed and volume capacity of a professional buffet setup. We bring the full restaurant experience directly to your venue.
What is included in the Burger Bus Buffet?
Our buffet typically includes a gourmet burger bar with freshly smashed patties, a variety of premium cheeses, fresh toppings, signature sauces, and your choice of professional sides like fries, tots, or salads.
Is buffet catering better than a food truck for large events?
Buffet catering is often superior for very large groups (200+) or time-sensitive corporate lunches because it allows for much faster throughput, ensuring all guests eat at approximately the same time.
How long does a buffet setup take?
We typically arrive 60–90 minutes prior to service to set up our professional warming equipment and burger stations to ensure everything is hot and fresh the moment your guests arrive.
Can you handle dietary restrictions with a buffet setup?
Absolutely. We specialize in tailoring the lineup for your event. We can clearly label all items and provide dedicated vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-friendly burger options to accommodate all of your guests.
Do you provide staff for the buffet?
Yes, our buffet service includes professional catering staff to manage the stations, assist guests, and maintain a clean, well-stocked serving area throughout your event.
What is the minimum number of guests for buffet catering?
While we can accommodate groups of any size, our buffet packages are most cost-effective for groups of 30 or more. We have minimum sales requirements that vary based on the date and location of your event.
What happens if there is bad weather on my event day?
Since buffet catering is typically set up indoors or under professional cover, it is an excellent choice for avoiding weather-related delays while ensuring your guests still enjoy hot, delicious burgers.
Do you provide plates and utensils for the buffet?
Yes, all buffet packages include high-quality disposable plates, napkins, and cutlery. Upgraded eco-friendly or high-end disposables are available upon request.
Can we mix food truck service and buffet service?
Yes! This is a popular option where the truck provides the ‘vibe’ and appetizers while the buffet handles the main course to keep lines moving quickly for large crowds.
What areas do you serve?
Our buffet catering network serves the entire United States, with a focus on major metro areas. A travel fee may apply depending on the distance from our closest hub.
How long is the serving window for a buffet?
Standard service usually lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, but we can extend this for larger corporate conferences or weddings to ensure every guest has plenty of time for seconds.
Are there any hidden fees like a service charge or gratuity?
Our quotes are transparent. The total price includes food, labor, and equipment. A standard service fee covers setup and logistics; additional gratuity for staff is always appreciated but optional.
How do I secure a date for buffet catering?
We require a non-refundable booking fee and a signed catering agreement to secure your date. Contact us today to check availability for your specific event date.
