How much does it cost to hire a food truck in Switzerland?
CHF 25 to 45 per person on average, all included. Some vendors offer simpler or more upmarket options. Four things move the price:
| Factor | What changes the price |
|---|---|
| Guest count | The volume to prepare and, for a large group, the number of trucks |
| Cuisine | Ingredients and preparation: street food costs less than an elaborate menu |
| Service duration | A two-hour lunch service or a whole evening |
| Extras | Drinks, desserts, service staff, tableware |
The quote is free and without commitment. The more precise your request (venue, guest count, times, budget), the more precise the quote.
