Why your food truck needs a website
Food trucks live and die by their ability to be found. Social media is great for daily location updates, but a website gives your food truck a permanent home on the internet where customers can find your full menu, check your weekly schedule, and book you for catering. When someone searches "food truck catering" or your truck name, your website is what should show up first.
A food truck website does not need to be complicated, but it needs to do a few things well. Your menu should be easy to read with clear descriptions and prices. Your weekly schedule or regular locations should be front and center. And if you do catering or private events, that information needs its own section with an inquiry form. These three elements turn casual followers into regular customers and event bookings.
This template captures the energy and personality that makes food trucks special. Bold typography, warm colors, and a layout designed for mobile-first browsing match how your customers actually find you: on their phones, hungry, wondering where you are parked today. The catering section with event packages turns your website into a revenue generator beyond your daily lunch service.

What should a food truck website include?
Your full menu with prices, a weekly location schedule or regular stops, catering information with package options and an inquiry form, your story and what makes your food unique, social media links for daily updates, and contact information. High-quality food photography dramatically increases appetite appeal. Keep the design mobile-friendly since most food truck customers browse on their phones.
How do food trucks get more catering bookings?
Create a dedicated catering page with clear packages (corporate events, weddings, private parties), pricing guidance, and a simple inquiry form. Most food truck catering comes from people who tried your food at a regular stop and want you at their event. Make the catering page easy to find from your homepage. Include minimum guest counts, setup requirements, and lead time so prospects can self-qualify.
Do food trucks really need a website if they have social media?
Yes. Social media posts disappear in feeds, but your website is always findable. When someone Googles your truck name, your menu, or "food truck catering near me," your website is what should rank. It is also more professional for catering inquiries. Think of social media as your daily megaphone and your website as your permanent storefront. You need both.
How should a food truck display its weekly schedule?
Show a clear day-by-day schedule with locations, addresses, and times. Update it weekly if your route changes. Consider listing regular recurring spots separately from special events or festivals. A simple table or card layout works best. Some food trucks also embed a Google Maps link for each location to help customers navigate directly to the truck.
