4 Booths to Have at Your Kid's Next Birthday Party

Too lazy to cook? Too cool for take-out? Make you party memorable by having food stalls instead. Not only is it hassle-free for you, the host, it’s also a much more interactive and entertaining way of serving food for your guests.

Here are a few that’ll breathe life to your feast:

Spud Buds
There’s no party like a potato party! Give your spud love a more sophisticated look with Spud Buds’ chic and fun setup. It’ll be a total carb fest full of their addictive shoestrings (fries dusted in either Strong Cheese and Onion, Buffalo Bleu, Zesty Ranch, Sweet Thai, Chipotle), Spud Balls (with dips like Honey Wasabi, Spicy Cajun, Garlic Aioli), and Ultimate Skins (they’re like chips, but more intense, and in flavors like Bacon and Cheese, Texas Chili, Mexican, BBQ Chicken).

What’s in stall: P6,000 for 80 orders of Flavored Shoestrings; P7,000 for 50 orders of Ultimate Potato Skins; P11,000 for 50 orders of Flavored Shoestrings and 50 orders of Ultimate Potato Skins; P8,000 for 150 orders of Spud Balls (two pieces/serving) and 50 orders of Flavored Shoestrings.

Plus: It comes with a party-table setup and trained staff to help with service.

Hachibi Takoyaki
Hachibi is a Salcedo Market staple, and it’s developed a pretty good name for itself selling freshly-griddled balls packed with bits of veg and chunks of octopus. Every serving comes with a festive flourish of sauce, green onions, Japanese mayonnaise, and dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi).

What’s in stall: P8,000 for 100 orders (an order is three pieces of takoyaki); you also get an extra 10 orders for free.

Plus: P1,500 for every extra 30 orders

Army Navy
If you’re throwing a bash that’s a little more casual, you might want to skip the caterer and just let your guests go crazy with Army Navy’s brand of comfort food. This company has recently launched the B.O.B. or Bulk Order Burgers + Burritos, making it easier for people to have Army Navy goodness at their party.
