AI marketing for food trucks
Food truck marketing is daily and repetitive: where you are, what is on, when you sell out. AI can turn one schedule into posts for each platform, draft the weekly roundup and write the event announcements. The photos are yours and so is the last word.
Talk through your truck with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your food truck to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
One schedule, every place
You enter the week once. Your site, your profile, and your posts all read from it. When a location changes, you change it in one spot.
Use a simple template for the weekly schedule. People learn where to look when it looks the same each time.
Specials and sell-outs
A short post when the lobster rolls are gone, or when a limited batch is ready, creates urgency for the next day. AI can draft those lines so you can post in a few seconds.
Pre-announce events a week before and again the morning of. Two posts are enough.
Show the truck, not stock photos
Your wrap, your line and your food are the brand. Use real pictures and stay clear of generated images of food you do not serve.
Credit the places that host you. A tag to a brewery or a market sends their followers your way.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
On Sunday night you enter the week’s locations, and posts for each day are scheduled for you to approve.
The last bowl of the day sells out, and a quick post tells people to come earlier tomorrow.
A festival you are joining gets an announcement that links to your menu.

Questions
How often should I post?
On days when you are open, and say where. Skip filler.
Will the posts sound generic?
They will if the notes are generic. Give it real details about the day.
Do I need a logo and a brand?
A recognizable truck and a consistent name help more than anything else. Keep them the same everywhere.
