Narrative:

Aircraft struck cabin service truck while parking at gate. I was following signals of the marshaller and was approximately 4 ft from the stopping point at impact, the marshaller continued to signal us in after the impact. He could not see the wing because of the jetway. I recommend strict use of wing walkers when lead marshaller cannot see all of aircraft. There was no wing walker on the damaged wing tip.
