Five ways to give
a food trailer a website.

Same business, same photographs, same phone number. Five completely different answers to the question of what a food-truck website is for.

Every one of them ships the same working machinery: a live open / closed status computed from the schedule, a countdown to the next stop, a real add-to-calendar file, a catering enquiry form, and a menu you can filter. Nothing is a picture of a feature. Open them on your phone.

Space Grotesk / JetBrains Mono · 700 KB The Route A mission-control cockpit. The thesis: a truck's website has exactly one job — tell people where it is, right now. Signature: an SVG map of Central Texas that draws its own route while a marker travels it, streaming live coordinates into a telemetry readout. Open concept Bebas Neue / Sacramento · 691 KB Bacchanal Carnival. The loudest page in the room, in full brand red, yellow and green. Joy used as a design system. Signature: a full-width kinetic marquee over an additive confetti canvas — and a confetti burst every time a form succeeds. Open concept Instrument Serif / Sans · 667 KB The Plate Tasting-menu typography applied to a trailer. Almost no colour, enormous negative space. The tension between the two is the whole idea. Signature: scroll rotates one enormous plate, cross-fading through seven dishes in a single animation loop. Open concept Anton / Instrument Sans · 686 KB Ember Standing over coals at night. A steakhouse's confidence, pointed at a jerk pit. Everything quiet except the fire. Signature: a live ember-spark canvas behind the logo, and menu rows that ignite — a thin ember line sweeping across on hover. Open concept Alfa Slab One / Karla · 686 KB Island Sun The counterweight — cream, sun-drenched, a travel-magazine spread. The hardest kind of page to make expensive-looking. Signature: a sun that arcs and a water-caustic canvas that cools after dark, both read from the visitor's own clock. Open it at night and it becomes a moon. Open concept

Working in all five

  • Live status — OPEN NOW / CLOSED / NEXT UP, computed against the clock, not typed in.
  • Where's the truck — next three stops, a ticking countdown, one-tap directions.
  • Add to calendar — generates a real .ics file in the browser.
  • Catering enquiry — multi-step, with a headcount-to-servings helper.
  • Filterable menu — award-winning, fan favourite, chef's pick, seafood, vegan.
  • The souvenir cup — the 24 oz pineapple cup and its $5 refills, given a moment.
  • Text-me-when-you're-near signup, and a Giga Texas shift-break lane.
  • Nothing loaded from anywhere else — every photo and typeface is served from this domain and cached hard. The first page is about 0.7 MB; every page after it is about 80 KB.

What is real, and what is not

  • No prices anywhere. The only price fact on record is the $5 refill, so that is the only one printed.
  • No star ratings, no review counts, no plates-served. There is exactly one real review, and it appears once.
  • The schedules are sample data — every stop is tagged and captioned as such. Swap in real dates and the live status follows automatically.
  • Giga Texas is described only as what the menu proves: Tesla Meal #1 and #2 exist. If the trailer is a regular there, say so and it goes back in.
  • One photo to check: the shot filed as the Bacchanal Bowl looks like shrimp, oxtail and pineapple — but the menu says chicken and shrimp. It is used as a gallery image only, never captioned as a dish.
