How to choose
Six checks separate a smooth coffee cart booking from a stressful one:
Cost
Most coffee cart companies quote each event by hand, because the price moves with a handful of inputs. These are the inputs to compare when you collect quotes:
| What moves the price | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hours of service | A one-hour cocktail window and a five-hour open house need different staffing and supplies. Kiki’s form offers 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5+ hours, or a full day. |
| Guest count | More guests means more cups, milk and baristas. Kiki’s form groups events as under 25, 25 to 50, 50 to 100, 100 to 200 and 200+. |
| Menu | Espresso drinks, matcha, refreshers, cold brew and nitro taps use different supplies and equipment. |
| Date and season | Saturdays in wedding season, graduation weekends and December holiday parties book first. |
| Travel and setup | The distance from the company’s base and the venue’s load-in rules can add time. |
| What is included | Ask whether setup, breakdown, cups, tent and staffing sit inside the quote or cost extra. |
Kiki replies to every request with availability and pricing within 2 to 3 business days. Send the date, the venue and the guest estimate through the request form to get a number for your event.
