The Challenge

Helping millions find food trucks in real time

  • Food truck fans needed a reliable way to discover which vendors were open, where they were parked, and when they'd be at upcoming events.
  • Vendors needed a separate mobile tool to manage schedules, accept orders, and update locations without friction.
  • The product had to work across multiple US cities with map-heavy UI, push notifications, and weekly-updated schedules.
Product Goals
  • Ship polished consumer and vendor apps to both app stores
  • Build map-based discovery with filters for cuisine, distance, and open-now status
  • Enable vendors to manage shifts and accept mobile orders

The Solution

Dual-app React Native platform with maps and real-time vendor tooling

  • Built the consumer StreetFoodFinder app with map views, HotSpots, weekly schedules, and proximity notifications.
  • Developed the SFF Vendor App for vendors to manage events, accept orders, and track sales history.
  • Delivered cross-platform parity on iOS and Android with a shared React Native codebase and web companion at streetfoodfinder.com.
Architecture
  • React Native consumer + vendor apps
  • Map-based geolocation with distance filters
  • Push notifications for nearby trucks and meal times
  • Weekly schedule sync with backend API
  • App Store & Play Store deployment for both apps

React Native (Consumer + Vendor apps)
Maps & geolocation
Push notifications
Real-time schedule updates
In-app ordering flows
Cross-platform iOS & Android

Lessons Learned

  • Dual-app products (consumer + vendor) require clear architecture boundaries from day one
  • Map-heavy apps need performance budgets and smart pin clustering for dense cities
