How does My Food Truck find me places to sell?
We research the places that host food trucks: breweries, offices, apartments and markets. Each one sits on a map with a confirmation level, and we add new ones every weekday. On Paid you see their names and contact the hosts yourself.
What are parking alerts?
Follow the cities you work in and we tell you by text, email and push in the apps when new places to sell are added there. Paid owners get every alert 24 hours before Free, so you can call the host first.
How do catering requests work?
On Paid, customers send a request from your truck page with the date, guests, address and budget. It lands in your catering inbox, you get a push and an email, and you reply with your price.
Does My Food Truck take a commission?
No. Not on catering and not on your sales. Paid is a flat monthly or yearly plan, and Free stays free.
What if my city isn't mapped yet?
Request it when you create your truck page. We add it to our research and alert you when its places are live; the Annual plan researches your city first. Your truck page goes live the same day.
