Do I need a website for my food truck?

The short answer

You can run a food truck with only social media. But a simple website helps in three places social media is weak: people searching Google for food trucks near them, event planners looking for catering, and customers who don't use the app you post on.

What a food truck site should show

• Your menu with prices (update it when prices change)
• Where to find you: a schedule, or a note that says where you post your daily location
• A catering or event-booking request form
• Your phone number as a tap-to-call link
• Photos of your real food
• The cities you usually serve

What it doesn't need

You don't need online ordering, a blog, or many pages to start. One clear page per main thing (menu, catering, contact) is enough.

Keep your Google Business Profile updated

Food trucks can use a Google Business Profile as a service-area business. Keep your hours and photos current, and link to your site.

Where Nora fits

Nora can build a simple food truck site with your menu items, a catering request form that emails you, and your own .com for the first year. It is not a live ordering system or a live calendar. Starter is $399 one-time (founding price $299 for early orders). We can't promise sales or more customers.
