Why Food Trucks
Why Chicago Companies Choose Food Trucks
Traditional corporate catering can feel rigid — fixed portions, limited flexibility, and a lot of onsite setup. Food trucks give Chicago companies a simpler way to feed teams while keeping the event feeling fresh, social, and interactive.
- Built for speed during scheduled lunch blocks
- No trays, chafers, or serving staff to coordinate
- Scale easily when headcount changes or attendance spikes
- Fit outdoor spaces, parking lots, and loading dock areas
- Create a "destination moment" that boosts participation and turnout

Chicago-Specific Corporate Food Truck Strategy
Corporate events are different from private parties — the goal is efficient service, broad appeal, and a professional experience that doesn't disrupt the workday. Chicago's diverse workforce also means dietary variety matters more here than in most markets.
Tacos & Mexican Street Food
Chicago's highest-booking corporate cuisine. Tight menus with 3–4 taco options move quickly and are easy to customize for dietary needs. Nacho bars are another popular corporate setup.
Chicago-Style Favorites
Italian beef sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, and deep dish pizza trucks lean into the city's food identity. Strong for employee appreciation events and company picnics where local flavor adds energy.
Mediterranean & Global Flavors
Gyros, falafel, and shawarma are naturally halal-compatible and vegetarian-friendly — addressing the dietary diversity of Chicago's corporate workforce. Asian fusion and Korean BBQ are the fastest-growing corporate categories.
Health-Conscious & Dietary-Friendly Options
Protein bowls, grain bowls, and wrap concepts cover vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-friendly needs. Important for large companies where a single menu won't satisfy everyone.
Coffee & Beverage Trucks
Mobile espresso bars are booked as standalone events for morning networking or meeting breaks, or alongside food trucks for a complete experience. Popular for client-facing events and onboarding days.
Chicago corporate insight: The best events are built around line management. Smaller menus and high-volume operators outperform "big menu" trucks every time — especially during a 60-minute lunch window.
Built for Chicago's Business Districts and Campuses
Chicago corporate events happen across a wide range of settings — from downtown high-rises to suburban office parks. Food Truck Club helps coordinate trucks that are experienced with each environment.
- Loop and West Loop office towers with loading dock access
- Fulton Market tech campuses and courtyards
- River North and Merchandise Mart corporate spaces
- Suburban campuses in Schaumburg, Rosemont, and Deerfield
- Multi-building corporate parks with staggered lunch waves
We help plan arrival timing, truck placement, and service flow so trucks are positioned where employees naturally gather — and lines move without blocking walkways or traffic.
Chicago logistics note: Trucks operating on private corporate property are exempt from the city's 200-foot restaurant proximity rule — making campus events significantly easier to execute than street-level service.

Planning Tips for Chicago Corporate Events
Tell us your estimated attendance and lunch window and we'll recommend a setup that balances cost, speed, and guest experience.
- Keep menus tight if you're feeding a large group quickly
- Stagger departments when possible — even a 10–15 minute offset helps
- Choose placement where employees naturally gather
- Add a second truck if you expect one big rush window
- Book 4–6 weeks in advance during peak season (May–September)
- Have an indoor backup plan for weather — Chicago conditions can shift quickly
A little planning upfront prevents long lines and keeps employees engaged.
A single truck typically serves 100–150 guests per hour. Larger campuses or compressed lunch windows usually require multiple trucks operating simultaneously. We help structure the right setup around your budget and attendance.

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our team.
How many food trucks do we need for a corporate event?
It depends on headcount and service window. A single truck serves 100–150 guests per hour. If everyone eats at once, multiple trucks improve speed and experience.
Can food trucks serve within a strict lunch hour?
Yes. Many Chicago trucks are built specifically for high-volume lunch service with tight, fast-moving menus.
Are trucks insured for corporate properties?
Yes. All trucks in our network carry commercial liability insurance and are vetted before joining the platform.
Can we structure pricing per employee or set a budget?
Yes. We can align truck options with your budget and preferred pricing approach — whether that's per-person or a flat event rate.
Do trucks require external power or kitchen access?
No. Most trucks are fully self-contained with their own generators and don't need power, water, or kitchen access from your building.
