Overview
Craving some crispy calamari? Or maybe you're in the mood for a spot of gözleme? Whatever your fancy, it'll soon be a whole lot easier to keep tabs on your favourite food trucks, with the launch of new app Snack Tracker. Following a successful roll out in Perth, the free app lands in Melbourne tomorrow, allowing customers to track any mobile food vendor using GPS.
You can find out which food trucks, ice cream van and even mobile coffee spots are open, and where they're located, minimising wait times between you and that tasty burger or toastie. Menus, contact details, customer reviews are all right at your fingertips, along with a handy events calendar.
You can use the app to curate your own list of favourite vendors and score a notification when one's nearby, and even purchase gift certificates that can be used at any participating vendor. The food trucks have their own supporting app, too, so they can easily control their details.
Local vendors currently on the app include The Bearded Jaffle, Taste of Cyprus, Nicolosi Pizzeria, Jim Brown Cypriot Food and Chef Calamari, with plenty more to follow.
Snack Tracker is celebrating its Melbourne launch with a grand opening party at food truck park The Ascot Lot on Tuesday, November 19. Head along from 7pm to score free food from participating trucks for the first hour, along with the chance to win drink vouchers and other prizes.
Snack Tracker is available for free from the App Store and Google Play.
