Jackie Kotarba

Owner, Hello Boba Truck

My adventure in the culinary world started in the warmth of my family's kitchen, where the air was always fragrant with the spices of our heritage and the laughter that came with shared meals. It was there, amidst the clattering of pots and pans, that I learned the basics of cooking—not just the techniques, but the passion and love that transform simple ingredients into something extraordinary. As I grew, this foundational experience was enriched by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to explore the vast world of flavors beyond my family's recipes. I ventured into professional settings, absorbing every lesson offered by seasoned chefs and embracing the hard work and discipline required in commercial kitchens. These experiences honed my skills, taught me the value of precision, and the art of creating dishes that speak to the soul. Yet, the journey didn't stop there. I became a voracious learner outside the kitchen walls, delving into books, culinary shows, and online courses

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

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.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Hello Boba Truck when you book.
Space needed

A flat, accessible parking spot—typically 12' × 25' for most trucks

Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies.

Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Hello Boba Truck lists dairy-free options, vegetarian options, vegan options and gluten-free options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Hello Boba Truck will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
