Before You Ask
What Shapes Your Quote
Every quote for Mac N Noodles is built around your event, not a one-size-fits-all menu. We ask a few simple questions upfront, like date, time, location, and how many guests we're feeding, so we can plan the right mac and cheese service for your guest count and make sure nobody goes hungry. Share those details early and we'll put together comfort food without overcomplicating the event.
- Event date
- Start time
- Event address
- Guest count
Quick Answers Before You Request a Quote
How do I book you?
All booking happens online — but if you've got questions about how our service works, we're always happy to chat it over on the phone! Just keep in mind that quotes have to go through email, so we won't be able to provide those over a call.
How do I check if my date is available?
Just pop over to our website and submit a form to check on your date! We've got multiple trucks and cuisines ready to roll, so don't be shy about reaching out — we'd love to help you find your perfect cheesy match.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
All cancellation and reschedule policies can be found in our booking terms linked in the footer of our website. You'll also get a copy with your catering agreement when you book.
Can the serving time change after I book?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no! Once we lock in your serving time, we build our other commitments around it — so if a proposed change would bump into another booking we've already promised based on our original commitment to you, we won't be able to make the switch.
