When to Book

Recommended lead time

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Chicago, so booking early gives you the best selection.

How far in advance should I book the food truck?: We recommend booking Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream at least 2-4 weeks before your event date. Food trucks in Chicago book quickly during peak seasons (Spring and Fall), so earlier is always better. For large corporate events with 100+ guests, 30 days advance notice ensures menu availability and proper staffing.
What types of events do you cater?: Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream caters corporate lunches, office parties, employee appreciation events, team building gatherings, company picnics, community festivals, university events, government functions, holiday parties, and private celebrations throughout Chicago and surrounding areas.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?: Yes, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream has a minimum order of $625.00. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Chicago location, and setup time.

This makes food truck catering ideal for outdoor venues, parking lots, parks, and locations without kitchen facilities.
