Food truck owners work odd hours and change things constantly. A website that is hard to update is a website that goes stale. The questions below are about the part after launch, which is where most truck sites fall apart.
How will I update the schedule
This is the question that matters most. Ask exactly how you would change this week’s locations and how long it takes. If the answer is "email us and we will update it," ask how fast and whether it counts against a limit.
With us, small edits are included up to 30 minutes a month with Website Care at $30/month. For a weekly schedule, many owners prefer to keep the page simple and link to the social account they update daily.
Questions about the menu and ordering
- ✓Will the menu be typed text — so it can be read on a small screen and updated
- ✓How do I change prices — ask who does it and whether it costs extra
- ✓How does ordering work — window, ahead of time or a tool you already use
- ✓What is third-party — payment and ordering tools charge their own fees to you
Questions about catering and events
Ask whether the site can take catering requests with the details you need: date, headcount, location, kind of event and how they found you. Ask where those requests go. An inbox you check in the truck is better than a form that reaches an office you do not have.
Ask what is not promised. A tracker that moves with your truck is a different product, and we do not fake one. A schedule page and a link to your social account is the honest version.
Questions about ownership and cost
- ✓Who owns the domain — it should be in your name or your business name
- ✓What is the one-time price — Launch Website is $399 for up to 5 pages
- ✓What is monthly — Website Care is $30/month and is optional
- ✓What if I stop — you take the domain, and ask in writing about the written content
What to expect, honestly
- ✓We do not build a live truck tracker — schedule lists and links are honest
- ✓We do not guarantee sales or search rankings — no designer controls them
- ✓Ordering tool fees belong to the provider — ask them for the numbers
