Why Ice Cream Is the Best Idea You’ll Have for Your Summer Corporate Event
Summer in Chicago is short. Your employees know it. Your tenants know it. And every event planner who has ever stood in front of a hot chocolate fountain in July knows it too.
If you’re planning a summer corporate event — an employee appreciation day, a rooftop happy hour, a tenant social, or an end-of-quarter celebration — there is one catering choice that consistently gets more smiles per square foot than anything else on the table: ice cream.
Cap’s Catering has been serving Chicagoland’s corporate community for over 25 years, bringing premium dessert experiences to some of the city’s most recognized companies, property management firms, and corporate campuses. Here’s why summer is our busiest season — and why it should be on your calendar right now.
Ice Cream Works for Every Crowd
Corporate events come with a complicated guest list. You’ve got executives, interns, vendors, and everyone in between — and you need something that lands for all of them. Ice cream is one of the few things that does. With 19 signature flavors, gluten-free options, and vegan selections throughout our menu, every guest gets something they love.
Full-Service Means Zero Stress for You
Cap’s Catering handles everything: setup, staffing, serving, and teardown. You don’t manage a single scoop. Our team arrives on time, presents professionally, and leaves the space cleaner than we found it — which matters when you’re managing an event inside a corporate building or a tenant amenity space.
We’ve served ice cream socials for over 1,500 tenants in a single day. We know how to move.
We Come to You — Across All of Chicagoland
Cap’s Catering serves corporate events throughout the greater Chicago metropolitan area, including downtown Chicago, the North Shore, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Oak Brook, Naperville, Rosemont, and the surrounding suburbs. If your office or event space is in Chicagoland, we can get there.
Drop-Off Is an Option Too
Need something simpler? Our drop-off and grab-and-go service delivers individually packaged, professionally presented desserts to your office or event space — starting at just 20 servings. No staff required on your end. Perfect for smaller office celebrations, client appreciation moments, or employee recognition days.
