Two Ways to Serve Bubble Tea at a Corporate Event
The right format depends on your venue and your headcount, not your budget. Both are fully staffed and self-contained.
Indoor Boba Bar — Offices, Lobbies and Conference Rooms
Our boba bar sets up on a standard six-to-eight foot table and needs one regular outlet. Two baristas staff it for the duration, building every drink to order. We bring equipment, ingredients, cups, and signage. You provide the table and the space.
This is the right choice for most office bookings — lobbies, conference rooms, break rooms, banquet spaces, and any building where parking a truck is impractical.
Mobile Boba Truck — Campuses, Parking Lots and Outdoor Days
The truck arrives fully stocked and serves from the window. It needs roughly 20 to 30 feet of parking footprint and clear overhead access. No power hookup and no setup help from your facilities team.
It suits corporate campuses, summer appreciation days, product launches, and any event where you want the setup itself to draw a crowd.
Serving 100, 300 or 800 People
Throughput is the question that actually matters for a corporate booking, and it is the one most caterers avoid answering.
- Two baristas serve roughly 100 to 120 drinks per hour at a steady pace, faster with a simplified menu.
- Under 150 guests: a single station over a two-hour window covers the room comfortably.
- 150 to 400 guests: we recommend a longer service window or a reduced menu to keep queues moving during a fixed lunch hour.
- 400 or more: contact us for a volume quote. We will plan station count and staffing around your schedule rather than guessing.
If your event has a hard 45-minute lunch break, tell us the headcount and the window when you enquire. That single detail changes the setup we recommend.
What Your Team Needs to Provide
Very little, and we would rather you knew that before you enquire than after.
- Indoor boba bar: one 6-8 foot table and one standard 110v outlet. That is the entire requirement.
- Boba truck: a 20-30 foot parking footprint with clear overhead access. The truck is self-powered.
- Building access: tell us about loading docks, freight lift bookings, or security sign-in and we will work to them.
- Certificate of insurance: we carry general liability and can issue a COI naming your company or building management. Send us the requirements and we will handle it.
We arrive early, set up ourselves, and clear the space completely afterwards. Nobody on your team needs to be involved on the day.

Corporate Events We Cater in Chicago
- Employee appreciation days. The most common booking we take. Works in a lobby at 10am or a parking lot at 2pm.
- Return-to-office and hybrid anchor days. A reason to come in that people actually mention to colleagues.
- Client events and open houses. Custom branding on the digital display and the option of branded cups.

- Conferences and trade shows. A sponsor-friendly station that draws people to a stand.
- Recruiting and campus events. Particularly effective for graduate and early-career hiring.
- Holiday parties. From November through February the same setup runs as a hot chocolate bar.
- Team celebrations. Pair the drinks with our mobile dessert bar for a fuller spread.
Branding, Dietary Needs and Logistics
Branding. Your company logo goes on our custom digital menu display at no extra cost. Branded cups and labels are available on request with enough lead time.
Dietary coverage. Oat and almond milk for dairy-free guests, caffeine-free fruit teas, and adjustable sweetness from 0 to 100 percent. Guests choose at the counter, so nobody has to declare anything in advance or feel singled out.
Lead time. Two to four weeks is enough for most corporate bookings. Allow four to eight weeks for large events, anything in the May to September peak, and December holiday parties, which fill earliest of all.
Service area. We cover downtown Chicago, the North Shore, and the western and northwest suburbs. See all our service areas — travel within them is included in your price.
Certifications. Hello Boba is a WBE and MBE certified business, which can matter for companies with supplier diversity commitments.
