- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
