At Funnel Fare, we excel at transforming your company picnic into an exceptional event with our catering services. Our signature freshly-made funnel cakes form the base of our service, with each one made to order, providing everyone with fresh and hot funnel cakes made from scratch.
We can offer a range of toppings as well, catering to different tastes and preferences. From classic powdered sugar to a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even fruit toppings and decadent ice creams and syrups, we have it all.
Our menu goes beyond funnel cakes as well, which includes a variety of other fun food treats that are perfect for outdoor settings like company picnics. We understand not everyone is looking for a funnel cake, so we ensure there’s something for everyone to enjoy, from freshly-popped popcorn to deep-fried Milky Ways.
We handle every part of the food truck experience, from initial setup to final clean-up, allowing you to relax and engage with the event rather than handling all the food service details.
When hiring a catering company for a corporate event, particularly something like a company picnic, it’s important to consider a couple of key factors. Not only will these considerations ensure that the event is a success, and the food is enjoyable for all attendees, but it will make the food service logistics easier for the planning committee and organizers.
First, you’ll want to make sure quality and variety of food is a focus. If the catering company can offer a diverse menu that accommodates different dietary preferences and restrictions, then you’ll have something that everyone can enjoy and no one at the picnic will feel left out.
Experience and reliability of the catering service is also a critical part in a seamless setup and cleanup at the beginning and end of the event. At Funnel Fare, we’ve been making fun treats for nearly 20 years, allowing us to learn the ins and outs of managing a line and keeping the cakes (and other treats) fresh and hot while minimizing wait times.
Customization options are another essential part of any food truck catering for a corporate picnic. Not everyone will want the same classic funnel cake with powdered sugar; some enjoy cinnamon, others want fruit toppings – and we have it all! From deep-fried Milky Ways to hand-dipped corn dogs and vanilla ice cream, we have a wide menu for everyone.
Hosting a picnic is a great way to boost morale and foster a better company culture. A picnic is a great way to get employees outdoors and out of the usual work environment, ensuring everyone has a good time and feels energized coming to a corporate event. This casual and relaxed environment encourages teamwork and improved working relationships.
A picnic can also serve as a form of appreciation from management, showing employees that their hard work and dedication are valued, and they are being rewarded for their efforts. At a picnic, employees can form genuine connections and talk about interests outside of the workplace that can enhance communication and collaboration back in the office.
Best of all, a change of scenery and a break from routine is rejuvenating, sparking creativity and new ideas. A company picnic and other types of rewarding events significantly contribute to employee satisfaction and retention rates, making it an essential investment for your company.
Making a work picnic fun starts with engaging activities and a solid purpose to the event. These activities should cater to a variety of interests and abilities that encourage participation and foster teamwork and friendly competition or collaboration.
Tug-of-war, sack races, frisbee, and classic yard games like cornhole or giant connect 4 are great ways to get a team involved. Board games can also get smaller groups of participants engaged without a big physical element, to cater to all ranges of ability and preferences for fun.
Adding a unique twist such as a theme to the picnic can also enhance the fun, such as a circus theme or a beach party.
Food stations are also important for those who don’t bring their own food, or who want a sweet treat at the end of a picnic. At Funnel Fare, we are thrilled to offer a wide range of fun treats from our menu that everyone can enjoy.
The average duration of a company picnic changes based on several factors, including the size of the company, the activities planned, and the goal of your event. Typically, a company picnic will last anywhere from three to six hours, but it can also change based on the time of day and whether it is a long weekend or a mid-week break. This timeframe allows employees enough time to relax, participate in any activities, and socialize – all without taking up an entire day.
Shorter picnics are also common, particularly if they occur during the workweek. These shorter events can last anywhere from three to four hours, allowing employees to return home at a reasonable hour and may be better suited for smaller companies with fewer employees.
A longer picnic offers more time and variety for employees, and will ensure employees have the ability to mingle and socialize with different departments.
When planning a company picnic, choosing the right caterer is key to ensuring everyone has a good time. It’s important to ask the right questions and make sure the caterer can serve the amount of food that the event needs, and at the capacity that it will require.
First, ask about the range of food options they offer, particularly if the catering company can provide for people that have special dietary requirements such as gluten-free, vegan, or allergen-friendly options of their normal fare. Everyone should have something tasty to eat at your picnic, no matter what the menu is.
It’s also important to learn about the food truck catering company’s experience in managing lines. Knowing how long the food takes to get ready with each order is important, as you don’t want long lines or people waiting too long to eat; a factor that becomes more important the larger your company picnic is.
With Funnel Fare at your company picnic, you’ll find that our menu is designed to offer an expansive selection that goes beyond the classic funnel cake. Not only do we provide a range of toppings for each of our fresh and hot cakes, but we make sure there’s something that matches everyone’s taste. Beyond our funnel cakes and our variety of toppings from powdered sugar to fruit toppings, we also offer additional selections to make sure everyone has something to choose from.
Our classic hot & fried menu includes anything from the oh-so-classic powdered sugar funnel cakes to deep fried milky ways, oreo cookies, and twinkies. This is the main attraction that we do best; we’ve been frying funnel cakes and oreos since 2006!
Our savory and satisfying menu includes hand dipped corn dogs, hot cheese nachos, and beef hot dogs with fixin’s. We also have hand-spun cotton candy and freshly-popped popcorn available as an add-on.
Looking for something a little chillier? We have those, too. Non-dairy Italian ices, non-dairy smoothies, and hand-dipped vanilla ice cream and gelatis are just some of our specialty fun treats.
Beverages include freshly-squeezed lemonade, sweet tea, or seasonally, warm cider and hot chocolate.
At Funnel Fare, we are committed to providing you with quality treats and freshness with every bite. Our ingredients are sourced from trusted suppliers who meet our standards for freshness, and we prioritize cooking everything on our menu fresh, from the funnel cakes to our freshly-squeezed lemonade.
We believe that at the core of every successful event is fresh food and a good purpose; and we take care of the food for you. For specific questions about our services or anything on our menu, get in touch today and we’ll help you navigate any allergens and dietary restrictions that your event may need to consider.
For any event, the food is going to represent around 30% of the total event cost. If the event is food-focused, such as an outdoor picnic, you can expect the overall costs of the event to be lower, but the percentage of the budget spent on food to increase. Costs vary based on the complexity of the menu and the length of time hired, so contact us today for an exact rate.

Our commitment to quality service, rapid turnaround times, and a delightful menu that inspires the taste buds has earned us a loyal clientele. Every year, we continue to innovate and expand our offerings, working out new recipes and better ways of pleasing the crowds.
