Fork Hunt — Your Live Local Food Truck Tracker
Behind every great food truck is an extraordinary amount of grit, creativity, and early-morning prep. Independent food truck owners pour their hearts into crafting scratch-made menus, perfecting signature recipes, sourcing local ingredients, and bringing restaurant-quality food straight to neighborhood breweries, parks, and street corners. They are the culinary heartbeat of our communities, turning everyday spaces into vibrant, flavor-packed hubs.
Yet despite all that passion and culinary creativity, getting discovered—and staying connected with regulars—has become harder than ever. Traditional social media algorithms bury daily location posts beneath endless feeds, forcing owners to constantly fight for visibility across multiple platforms just to let people know where they’re parked. At the same time, hungry customers are left scrolling through expired Instagram stories, checking three different Facebook pages, or driving across town only to find out their favorite truck packed up an hour ago.
Finding great street food shouldn’t feel like detective work—and running a mobile kitchen shouldn’t require beating an algorithm.
That’s why we’re excited to share what we’ve been building at Brew and Feed: Fork Hunt — a fast, real-time food truck tracker designed to bridge the gap between passionate mobile chefs and the local food lovers looking for them.
What Is Fork Hunt?
Fork Hunt is a live, mobile-first food truck map and schedule directory built specifically for street food lovers, brewery regulars, and independent food truck owners. No bloated social feeds, no buried posts, and no app store downloads required—just instant answers to "Who’s open near me right now?"
What You’ll Be Able to Do on Day One (For Hungry Food Hunters!)
-
See Who’s "Open Now" in Real Time: Food truck owners can broadcast live status updates straight from their truck window—complete with fresh batch notes and real-time timestamps—so you know who is actively serving before you grab your keys.
-
Explore an Interactive Map & 7-Day Lineup: Browse trucks by distance, search any neighborhood or ZIP code, filter by your favorite cuisines, and preview where trucks are parked today, tonight, or this weekend.
-
Save Your Favorite Trucks & Add to Your Home Screen: Tap the heart icon on your go-to trucks to build a personal favorites list, or tap Save App to install Fork Hunt directly onto your iPhone or Android home screen for one-tap access.
-
Scan at the Window, Follow Forever: Spot a Fork Hunt QR code at your favorite truck’s ordering window? One quick scan automatically saves that truck to your favorites and pulls up their upcoming brewery, market, and neighborhood stops.
Built to Champion Food Truck Owners: Why You’ll Love It
We built Fork Hunt so culinary creators can spend less time fighting social media algorithms and more time doing what they do best: cooking incredible food. We know that running a mobile business is demanding, so we’ve kept the Owner Portal incredibly streamlined, requiring absolutely no tech skills and taking less than 2 minutes of your day.
Here is how Fork Hunt is designed to support and grow your business:
-
Instant, No-Algorithm Visibility: Your status updates don't rely on feed algorithms. When you're open, you're on the map for every user in your radius. If you turn on the Open Now filter, you go straight to the top.
-
One-Tap "Open Now" Broadcasting: When you arrive at a venue and start service, flip your status to
OPENin the Owner Portal. Add a quick live note like "Fresh brisket just off the smoker!" or "Short lines right now, come grab dinner!" to catch hungry, indecisive diners scrolling their phones. -
A Set-and-Forget Schedule Manager: Stop pasting text schedules on Instagram every Monday. Input your weekly repeating stops (e.g., Every Thursday at Primal Brewery) and easily drop in one-time events or calendar dates. We auto-geocode the address so customers can get one-tap GPS navigation straight to your window.
-
The "Window-to-Pocket" Regulars Loop: Every owner gets access to their own Physical Signage & QR Kit. Print this out and place it next to your POS register. Customers waiting for their food can scan it to instantly save your truck to their personal favorites and add the Fork Hunt app to their phone’s home screen—no App Store downloading required.
-
Stop Worrying About Outdated Info: Fork Hunt has smart safeguards, like a 12-hour "stale status" auto-close guard. If you forget to turn off your open status, we'll automatically reset it to
CLOSEDafter 12 hours, ensuring customers never get frustrated by outdated hours. -
Build Direct Trust with Ratings & Replies: Give your regulars a way to leave star ratings and reviews. You can reply directly to their feedback in the portal, showing the community the real human behind the brand.
