Workplace Appreciation Catering FAQs

Workplace appreciation should feel easy—and genuinely meaningful. Our ice cream catering services are designed to help employers celebrate their teams in a way that’s joyful, inclusive, and effortless to plan. Whether you’re hosting a large campus event or a small team celebration, we bring a simple, nostalgic experience that naturally creates connection and lasting memories. Below you’ll find answers to our most frequently asked questions to help you plan with confidence.

We have a smaller team—can we still book Bliss?

Our workplace catering packages have a minimum that serves up to 150 guests. This minimum helps cover the cost of travel, staffing, setup time, and product so we can deliver the joyful, high-quality experience Bliss is known for. However, there are a few creative ways many smaller teams make this work: We can include Bliss gift cards in your package that can be used later for employee incentives, rewards, or gifts—redeemable at our Bliss Scoop Shops. You’re welcome to share a package with a neighboring business, either by splitting the two-hour service window or combining your teams into one celebration. We can leave behind remaining ice cream or scoop extra servings into lidded cups—perfect for later shifts, take-home treats, or another office celebration. With a little planning, many clients find they can make the minimum feel absolutely worth it for their team. Your team will remember this long after the ice cream is gone.

Can you serve indoors or at workplaces with limited space?

Yes—Bliss can serve ice cream just about anywhere. From parking lots to high-rise office buildings, we love transforming whatever space you’ve got into a celebration destination. We regularly serve: Indoor offices, tight hallways, and small common areas (our tricycles even fit in elevators) Hospitals and large campuses with staggered or multi-shift teams Parking lots and parking garages (our mini trucks don’t require generators or electricity) Drive-through or curbside appreciation events Picnic-style ice cream socials or staggered break-time service If people can gather there, we can serve there—and we’ll handle the details so it feels easy, fun, and memorable.

How far in advance should we book workplace appreciation catering?

We recommend booking as far in advance as possible, especially during our busy spring and summer months, when dates fill quickly. That said, if your event is coming up soon, reach out anyway. While last-minute availability is limited, we can sometimes accommodate requests with just a few days’ notice. If you have a date in mind, the best next step is to secure it early.

What do your catering packages include?

We keep things simple—and delicious. Our base workplace appreciation package includes: One of our Bliss tricycles or mini trucks popping up at your location Six of our most popular, crowd-pleasing ice cream flavors Double scoops served in cups or gluten-free waffle cones A non-dairy/vegan option Two hours of service by our friendly Bliss team While we occasionally accommodate special requests, we’ve found this curated flavor mix makes everyone happy and keeps service smooth and joyful. The result? An experience your team will genuinely love.

What if we need to reschedule or cancel?

We understand that workplace plans can change—and we do our best to be flexible and understanding. Events may be canceled up to 10 days before the scheduled date. Events may be rescheduled up to 3 days before the event, subject to availability. We’re experienced with real-world workplace planning and will always work with you to find the best possible solution.

Do you offer gluten-free or vegan options?

Yes. All of our ice cream and waffle cones are 100% gluten-free, and we include a non-dairy/vegan option at every catering event. Our ice cream is also dye-free, and our catering menus generally avoid nut-containing flavors. If nut allergies are a concern for your team, please let us know—we’re happy to plan accordingly. Our goal is for everyone on your team to feel included and cared for.

How does payment and booking work?

Once you submit an inquiry, we’ll check availability and send you a custom proposal. To officially book: You’ll sign our online contract Submit a 50% deposit to secure your date Both the deposit and the remaining balance are handled online, with the final payment completed closer to your event. The process is secure, professional, and straightforward.

Why ice cream for workplace appreciation?

Ice cream is simple, nostalgic, and celebratory. It’s a budget-friendly alternative to traditional food trucks and a perfect add-on dessert when paired with a savory option. More importantly, ice cream brings people together. It sparks conversation, creates shared moments, and turns an ordinary workday into something memorable. We love watching teams connect over something joyful—and we love knowing those moments last long after the last scoop.
