A state-licensed, hand-converted 1979 Blue Bird bus with a farm-to-table board, for HOA and condo nights, office lunches, backyard parties and weddings. Private catering from $800 an event.
Most bookings here stall on a question nobody asks out loud: whose permission is actually needed. For a private event the answer is usually shorter than people fear. Four parties could weigh in, and they are not equally powerful.
The company behind this bus also holds Florida Community Association Manager licence CAM34850 and management-firm licence CAB3255 through BeacCorp Property Management. When a board asks a vendor for a licence copy, a certificate of insurance and a load-in window, we know the request because we write it for other vendors. The packet comes in a form a manager can forward untouched.
The estimator on the America page builds a range around your guest count in three taps. For the reasoning behind per-guest pricing and minimums, read the catering cost guide.
Planning an event often means a building that is ready for guests. If a roof, windows or a remodel are next, see building in Lake Worth and roofing in Lake Worth. If you run an association that books vendors, property management in Lake Worth covers the board side. Buying or clearing a lot for a larger gathering? Land services in Lake Worth is the place to start.

For a private event on private property, generally no separate food-truck permit exists to get. Under section 509.102 of the Florida Statutes, the regulation of mobile food dispensing vehicles as to licences, registrations, permits and fees is preempted to the state, so a city or county may not require a separate licence beyond the state licence. AMERICA holds MFD1654011. What local government still controls is ordinary land use, the right-of-way, parking and noise, and an event on public ground such as a city park or the beachfront runs through the City's own event process, which belongs to the host rather than the caterer. This is not legal advice. Call (561) 779-3213 and we will tell you which of these applies to your address.
Not exactly, and it changes who you ask. The City of Lake Worth Beach is the incorporated city on the water. Many mailing addresses that say Lake Worth sit west of it in unincorporated Palm Beach County, where the county rather than the city handles land-use and noise questions. The state food-truck licence is the same either way. Tell us the street address when you call and we will say which one you are in.
Private catering starts at $800 per event. Weddings and larger catering start at $2,500, and one truck serves events of up to 200 guests. A plated private farm dinner at The Bell Farm is $150 per person with a ten-guest minimum. We do not publish a separate Lake Worth price here, so call (561) 779-3213 with your date and head count for a number on your event.
Those are public places, so the first answer comes from whoever runs the event or the booking, usually the City, not from us. If the organiser or the City's venue desk permits a vendor on the date you want, we can bring the bus. Ask them what they require of a mobile food vendor, and we will supply the state licence MFD1654011 and any paperwork they list. Do not set the date until that is in writing.
No. The state preemption limits what a government may require of a food truck. It does nothing to a private covenant. Your declaration and rules are a contract among the owners, enforced by the board. If they restrict commercial vehicles, vendor access or amplified sound, the board decides whether to allow an exception. Give the board a complete packet early: the state licence, a certificate of insurance naming the association, and load-in and breakdown times that respect quiet hours.
No. A mobile food dispensing vehicle in Florida is defined as carrying self-contained utilities, and AMERICA runs her own power, so there is a generator. The planning point is sound rather than supply: check your community's quiet hours and any amplified-sound rule, and we will build load-in, service and breakdown inside that window.
