There's nothing better than a california burrito, bao or pizza from your favorite food truck.
Truckee is a Bay Area techie's dream: tasty and data-driven.
I'm a big fan of Tacos Mi Rancho out in Oakland, if you're up for the BART trip.
Restaurants have a famously high failure rate compared to other kinds of businesses. Most people with a dream of starting a food truck want to bring their passion for cooking to people. On the way they're facing a lot of obstacles to achieving that dream--permitting, health inspections, sourcing food, presenting menu options, finding a location.
Everyone can find their closest, favorite food truck. Early-stage food trucks face tough competition. They need to find special ways to attract customers.
Truckee is here to give a leg up on newcomers. We use data-driven analytics in order to identify the ideal site for your food truck. You can opt to build a niche--starting a new food truck in a new culinary subcategory in a popular spot or venturing early in an up-and-coming territory.
Then once you've chosen a site we manage the permitting lifecycle for you, connecting you with a cohort of up-and-coming food trucks around town for a foodie-focused coupon circuit.
Finally, and most importantly, we get you in with the events managers for venues and outdoor shows downtown for cheap.
Truckee's development team wants to prioritize a unified meetingplace to make product and technical decisions.
