Common questions

Quick answers

Whether you're eating or cooking, here are some general questions with answers:

Do hungry customers need to pay?

No. It's completely free to find food trucks on the map. No account required to browse.

How do I cancel my subscription?

On iPhone: Settings → Your Name → Subscriptions → Food Truck Beacon → Cancel.
On Android: Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions → Cancel. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.

How do I delete my account?

Open the app → tap your account icon → select "Delete Account" and all your data will be permanently removed from the server. This action cannot be undone. Cancel your subscription separately first to avoid future charges.

Why did a truck disappear from my favorites?

If a food truck owner deletes their truck, it will automatically be removed from your favorites list.

What happens to my beacon when I drive away?

Your beacon automatically stops broadcasting your live location if you move more than 250 feet from where launched it. No ghost locations confusing customers, and no customers showing up at your house because you forgot to turn off your beacon. You can restart the beacon at any time to reset.

Can I update my menu or daily status?

Yes. You can optionally update your truck name and daily menu status from your dashboard to let customers know what you're serving before they head over.

Is my location private when the beacon is off?

Yes. When the app is off, your location is not shown whatsoever; the app doesn't request, collect, or transmit your location. The app only knows your location if you turn your beacon to "ON" and see it turn green.

My beacon isn't showing on the map.

Check that location permissions are set to "Always" in your phone Settings. Toggle your beacon off and back on. Still having trouble? Email us.
