This food truck finder app makes for the perfect map for people who work in populated cities.
Called 'TruckFood,' the app used to offer its services only in New York City but has spread to seven other major cities in recent months. It provides its users with maps that show food truck locations within their specific area while also giving them the option of narrowing searches based on types of cuisine. The app allows for vendors to sign up via its website and as a result facilitates a two-way transaction by giving consumers easy access to their desired foods. App users are also able to flag trucks that they have visited or heard about in other cities and are then notified if those same trucks end up in their area.
This useful app promotes small businesses while providing its customers with ample food options with little effort on their part.
