Location and schedule calendar

Unlike a fixed restaurant, your customers need to know where to find you tomorrow, next week, or at major seasonal events. A calendar integrated into your website lets you publish your locations once, accessible everywhere. This avoids repetitive messages and frustrated customers looking for you in the wrong place.

Social media integration and event calendar

Your website centralizes your Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook presence so customers can find you everywhere. It can also automatically display local events you're attending (markets, festivals, fairs). One place to update, less risk of conflicting information.

Mobile first and simplified payment

Most of your customers will check your website on their phone before visiting. Your site must be ultra-smooth on mobile, with a clickable phone number to call you directly. You can also offer mobile payment online or via QR code for pre-orders, which speeds up service.

How can I display my regular and occasional locations without updating my website every day?

Your website can include a simple calendar that you fill out once a month, instantly visible to all your customers. You add your regular spots (Monday main square, Wednesday local market) and one-time events (summer festival in July, Christmas market in December). No need to post Stories every day telling people where you are.

Does a food truck really need a website when we have Instagram and TikTok?

Instagram and TikTok are great for showing your vibe and creating engagement, but they constantly change their algorithm and you don't control who sees your posts. Your website is your own territory: when a customer searches for you nearby, they'll find you on Google first if you have an updated website. It's also more professional for partners or local authorities who want to verify your information.

Can we integrate pre-ordering and payment directly on the website?

Absolutely. Your customers click on the menu, choose their dishes, pay by card or transfer in seconds, and you receive the order. At lunch, when things are hectic, you've already started preparing reserved orders. It's a huge time saver and your customers love avoiding the line.

How can I show that I respect hygiene standards and allergen information?

Your website can clearly display important information: hygiene certifications, allergen list for each dish, ingredient sourcing. It's reassuring for customers and complies with current regulations. You can dedicate an entire page to the quality and transparency of your production.

How does a website help me be visible on Google if I change location every day?

Google loves up-to-date and accurate information. If your website shows your locations, hours, photos, and customer reviews, Google will rank you better than an invisible food truck. When someone searches 'food truck near me Thursday,' if you appear on your website, Google can suggest you. Without a website, you're invisible in search.

Is a website just for showing photos, or is it actually useful?

A website that only shows your photos is better than nothing, but it's like a poster: it impresses but doesn't sell. A useful website also gives your clickable hours, phone number, location on a map, and customer reviews. That's the difference between impressing people and actually converting them into sales.

Can my food truck hours be seen on Google Maps directly?

Yes, if your website is properly configured. Google Maps pulls your location info and hours if you update them regularly. When a customer searches for you on Maps, they see your photo, hours, phone number, and even your rating. This is crucial for food trucks since your customers are specifically searching by location.

How can I manage multiple locations or outlets with a single website?

If you have multiple food trucks or partners in different areas, your website can display all locations on a map. Each area has its own calendar and hours. Customers easily see 'food truck near me' without confusion. It's more professional than having multiple Facebook pages for each location.

How much does it cost to create a food truck website?

Like outfitting a food truck, the budget depends on what you choose: a simple site with menu and calendar costs much less than a full platform with pre-ordering, payment, and inventory management. At MoulinMarketing, we first discuss what you really need, offer you a transparent quote with no surprises, and you only pay if you agree.

Can we add a loyalty or rewards program on the website?

Yes, you can offer a points program, discount codes for regular customers, or seasonal promotions directly on your website. It's an excellent way to turn occasional customers into loyal ones. Each pre-order can also generate a bonus, which encourages advance reservations.
