Food Truck Finder and Locator Platform: Discovering Where Your Favorite Trucks Are Today

Food trucks have exploded in popularity across American cities. Fans want to know where their favorite trucks are today, what's on the menu, and when they'll be nearby. Information is scattered across social media and individual truck websites. There is an opportunity to build the definitive food truck discovery and locator platform.

The Problem: Food Truck Locations Are Hard to Track

Food truck fans face challenges:

• No real-time location and schedule aggregation

• Scattered information across Instagram, Facebook, and websites

• Difficulty planning lunch or dinner around truck locations

• Limited menu and dietary information

• Missed events and food truck festivals

Social media is fragmented and not built for location-based discovery.

Why This Market Is Growing

• Thousands of food trucks operating in US cities

• Strong food truck culture and loyal followings

• Events and festivals driving visibility

• Truck owners seeking better discovery channels

• Office workers and urban residents as core users

This market is vibrant and under-served by dedicated platforms.
