Food Truck Face-Off – Team Building Activity with Food
Food Truck Face-Off transforms the excitement and creativity of America’s favorite street food trend into a high-energy, in-person team building competition. Participants collaborate to design, brand, market, and serve their own “food truck” concept, competing for points in creativity, teamwork, presentation, and, of course, taste.
Program Agenda
This engaging challenge blends culinary skills, branding creativity, and marketing flair. After high-energy ice breakers to “rank” the teams, participants choose their truck’s cuisine—options could include All-American, Mexican, Mediterranean, Asian, Vegetarian, or “Sweet Tooth.” Menu
From there, it’s full steam ahead as teams:
- Develop a truck name and logo
- Build a custom truck façade with creative materials
- Design a menu and prepare a signature dish
- Produce and perform a live commercial to entice “customers”
Teams receive specific ingredients and suggested dish concepts, but no recipes, meaning creativity and collaboration are essential. Presentation counts, with authentic “food truck” serving materials enhancing the experience.
Once the trucks open for business, everyone samples the creations, roaming from “truck to truck” in an indoor culinary road trip. The event wraps with judging, medals for the winners, and bragging rights as the BEST Food Truck Champions.
