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 Little O's Frozen Treats when you book.
Space needed

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

What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Little O's Frozen Treats includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Little O's Frozen Treats?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Little O's Frozen Treats typically answers a request within 2 minutes, so you'll know quickly whether the date is open. Food trucks in Chicago book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Little O's Frozen Treats cater?
Recent bookings through Food Truck Club include a 500-guest private event in Union Grove (August 2026). Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Chicago are all bookable from this page.
Where does Little O's Frozen Treats serve?
Little O's Frozen Treats is based in Chicago, IL and takes bookings across Cook, DuPage, Will, McHenry, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and Lake Counties. 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. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Little O's Frozen Treats lists dairy-free 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 Little O's Frozen Treats 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.
