Street Bites
Food trucks for the masses. Crave it. Find it. Instantly.
I wanted to build my own independently owned and operated portfolio project, that turned into a massive project of love and dedication.
Food Bites is an obvious win for me, as a free to use food truck management platform and directory, but also a big add to the community and a way to get something new and modern into that space.
I drove my work as a positive entry in my portfolio, but now I think it could grow to really service a community of food trucks and foodies.
You can also see my struggles live on YouTube, which is extremely embarassing.

At the moment, there is a single click for an authenticated user to set a pin. There is a potential future feature where we set active GPS tracking, but we are limited until we create some kind of mobile app. Having a click set is also required to mark a truck as 'open' as opposed to maintaining a schedule for the truck. This allows a truck to quickly close, move position, and reopen on the fly.
How does it actually get the live location data from the trucks — is it GPS hardware they have to buy, or just something pulled from their social media check-ins?
How does Street Bites keep the truck locations accurate when vendors move spots on a whim or dont update their schedule, and do drivers have to manually check in or does the app pull from something like a pos system?
love how the live map shows which trucks are actually open. one thing though, a route planner that strings together multiple trucks in one walk would be clutch for food crawls with friends. could even surface a suggested order based on distance
The live filtering by what's actually open right now is such a smart call, nothing worse than chasing a truck across town only to find it packed up. Love the focus on real-time accuracy over flashy extras.
The live location tracking feels genuinely snappy, not the laggy map refreshes you usually see with this kind of app. Love that it pulls menus right alongside it too, no extra taps needed.
Love how the live location tracking feels instant and the "open right now" toggle saves me from rolling up to a closed window. The map UI is clean without being cluttered.
