Event planning is challenging, whether you’re a seasoned professional or a professional whose boss volunteered you to plan the annual corporate picnic. Deciding to have an event is the easy part — everything after that gets a lot more technical. There’s a lot of logistics involved: you have to find food vendors that offer vegan options for Tom and can accommodate a Whole 30 diet. You need permits to make sure your event is legal. Plus, it’s hard enough for you to park your Prius in the Mission, and now you’re supposed to find parking for a bunch of 20 food trucks?
That’s where we come in: We make all of that easy.
We provide one contract, one invoice, and one point of contact for a turnkey experience. We’ll streamline the planning and implementation of your events from start to finish. Whether you’re a seasoned event planner or an executive assistant who’s had the corporate offsite flung onto your plate, we’re here to help you become the hero of your next event.
Off the Grid Offers More than Food Truck Fridays
You may know Off the Grid from our food trucks or Fido Friday events. Although delicious, we’re so much more than a food truck service. Here’s how we’ll help you create an event people can’t stop raving about.
Did You Know We Can Do Event Design?
We’re your one-stop-shop for event planning. We’ll help you choose the right vendors and food to set the right tone for your convention. We’ll also hammer out permits, logistics, and curate menus to maximize your custom mobile food experience. We can help you seamlessly scale events from 100-10,000 people. We provide ease of mind knowing there’s a source of accountability if something goes wrong.
We Can Help Navigate Permits and Rules
Alcohol permits can be a real headache, but with our bar services, you don’t have to worry. Our bar services are licensed and ABC permitted. We provide a curated list of local beers and wines for guests. If you’re looking to create a truly memorable experience, we also offer custom cocktails (which are a fan favorite!).
Let Us Handle the Catering
You have better things to do than chase down 30 food trucks. We’ll handle it for you. Upgrade your convention’s food offerings from the boxed tuna sandwich of years past. Our network of 300+ food creators (including caterers, restaurants, and food trucks) offers an endless variety with more than 70 types of cuisines. We can meet every guest’s dietary needs. When planning for your event, we don’t just count the number of food trucks. We ensure there’s a portion for every guest so no one leaves hungry. Our catering services include self-sufficient, simple breakdowns with multiple truck kitchens that serve up to 10,000 guests in a single hour.
We have indoor and outdoor food service formats to fit any occasion. Whether you’re looking for a replenishable classic interior station or something more unique, our stations offer a consistent look and feel and feature foods from local vendors. We also offer boxed meals, conference catering, coffee bars, and desserts. If your guests prefer fried, wood-fired, or grilled food, we can help with that, too.
We Help With Space Making Rentals and Services
Off the Grid helps you turn any event into a mobile food experience. Our mobile infrastructure can accommodate indoor or outdoor setups. We provide tables, seating, and umbrellas for your convenience and offer various serving mediums, from pergolas to tents. We can work with limited space and don’t even need a parking lot. It’s also a seamless way to bring outside food inside. We’ll handle everything from serving to bussing. Our food runners will pass food from outside food trucks to your guests. So even if it’s raining, guests can enjoy a great meal from local vendors while staying dry. We also offer staffing, rentals, games, flowers, decor, and team building and experimental activities
We’ll Figure Out the Details
The last thing you want to do at the end of running an event is clean up after 10,000 people. Let us take care of it for you. We provide our vendors with trash, compost, and recycling bins along with management services, including staff, to bus and clean your event space.
Be the Event Planner People Can’t Stop Raving About
We know you could certainly apply for permits or call food vendors yourself. But you’re already stretched thin, have a to-do list that’s a mile long, and you’re short on time. Let us make you the hero of the next corporate offsite or large conference. Visit our catering page to get started today!
