FAQ's
What services do you offer?
A: Fire & Spice Culinary Concepts offer the following services: space rental, ghost kitchen, commissary rental, food truck catering, box lunch catering, family meals, and holiday meals.
What all is included in the space rental?
A: This depends on your needs and the type of event you’re wanting to host. Our space houses a full kitchen, bar, dining room, and patio space. You can rent out everything or just a section of the space. Our staff can also be rented out to service your bar, cook and cater the food, setup, and cleanup. For a tour of the facility, please email us at info@firespicesmokehouse.com
How can our office order boxed lunches?
A: Currently we are unable to fulfill boxed lunch orders due to Prime Food Truck Season. We will bring back this option in the Fall/Winter time frame.
Do you cater weddings?
A: Absolutely! We mostly cater weddings onsite with our food trucks. Our food trucks offer different menu items tailored to your wedding dreams. From a queso fountain to a menu made just for you; we can offer many items most catering companies can’t. We sit down with you and go over everything: your menu, serving times, location, rain plans, and more. You can also rent the food truck or restaurant space for rehearsal dinners too. Please contact us for more information on availability, pricing, and services.
How can I get your food truck to come to our office building?
A: As much as we’d love to just come out to any building, it’s not that simple. First we must be invited by whomever books food trucks at the site. Then we check our availability and number of occupants at the building. Sometime the company requires paperwork to be sent before coming out (permits, licenses, insurance, etc.) which we can provide, but it can take some time to process, so please note to book in advance. On average the food trucks book around 2-3 months in advance. Email us for more information.
I was told there would be a “Minimum Guarantee” for your food truck to some out. What is this?
A: For most events our food trucks require a “minimum guarantee” to serve at your event. This is the amount for us to breakeven and continue to pay for expenses. The minimum can fluctuate depending on multiple reasons (location, food costs, gas, etc.). We do not require ANY payment upfront; just a written agreement that the host is willing to pay the difference if the minimum isn’t met within the event time. For example, if the minimum is $750 and only $650 is made, the host must pay the difference of $100 at the end of the event. We understand that not every event is the same, so please contact us for more information on minimums, tax exempt, waivers, etc.
Where does your food truck go?
A: We serve different locations at different times all across the Madison County and Huntsville City area. Please check our schedule for a list of dates and times the food trucks will be out and about. You can also see different events upcoming on our social media sites.
How often are food trucks checked by the health department?
A: Our food trucks (like most in the city) are checked by the health department more than any restaurant. On average, food trucks are checked on site (while in service) every 3-4 months. We strive to maintain an acceptable health score every time we are checked. All health department checks are at random and are public information.
I’m thinking about starting a food truck. Where can I get help?
A: Our food truck has been in business for almost a decade now. Not only can we point you in the right direction, but we can offer you sound advice and guidance in your process. Please contact us via email for consultation information.
