A live GPS map for your food truck
"Where are you today?" is the question every food truck answers a dozen times a week. The Find The Eats live map answers it for you. Your page shows exactly where the truck is while you're serving, and customers can tap once for directions.
Two ways to be on the map
The plug-in GPS transmitter ($29/month or $249/year)
A small transmitter plugs into your truck's cigarette-lighter (12V) socket. There's no OBD adapter, no wiring and no installer. Plug it in when you open and you're live; unplug it and your page shows your "not out yet" message. It's loaned to you for as long as you subscribe, and a unit that fails is replaced.
The Phone plan ($15/month)
No transmitter: your phone is the GPS. Tap Start when you open and keep the Find The Eats page open while you serve. You get every other feature, including ordering, window sales, your schedule and the Request Portal, and you can upgrade to the transmitter any time.
Your page and the nationwide map
When you're live, you show up in two places:
- Your own page, findtheeats.com/your-truck, with your logo as the map pin and a directions button.
- The "who's open near me" map, where anyone looking for food sees every open truck, nearest first. That's how people who have never heard of you find you.
The map also lists holes in the wall: small fixed-location spots like a walk-up window or a counter in the back of a store. Tabs let customers show food trucks, holes in the wall or both.
Privacy: where you are, not where you've been
Find The Eats shows your current location only while you're live. Your page never shows a history of where the truck has been, and when you're closed, customers see your "not out yet" message and your next scheduled stop.
Try it free from your phone
The 7-day free trial needs no credit card. Tap "go live" in your dashboard and you're on the map from your phone that day. Keep the screen on, and treat it as a test drive rather than a way to run a full shift. On a transmitter plan, your GPS unit ships when you subscribe.
