Where Service Can Actually Land
The setup has to fit the site before the menu can work. We need to know where the truck, smoker, Serving setup staffed line can land, how close guests are to the food, and whether the service area creates a bottleneck.
Fast Line or Open Service
Some crowds need speed. Some need space. Some need a line that stays open while people arrive in waves. Tell us how guests will move, and we can match the BBQ setup to the pace of the event.
Hold Time & Guest Comfort
Good BBQ needs the right holding plan. If guests are outside, spread across a Site access eating over a longer window, we think about temperature, cover, wind, and how to keep the line comfortable.
No Last-Minute Surprises
The fastest way to create a service problem is to learn the site rules too late. If there are gate times, loading limits, insurance requirements, Propane Rules, OR cleanup expectations, we want them in the first conversation.
