Questions, answered
Is the map real-time?
Yes. We poll a summary endpoint so markers stay cheap and snappy. Hotplate-powered pin updates will arrive when flash sales launch.
Can I share a spot with a friend?
Every restaurant has a deep-link. Tap 'Share' and you get a URL that opens to the same pin on app.omahafoodie.com or in the mobile app.
Does the map show food trucks?
Yes. Trucks get their own truck-pin with a live status — Serving / Closed / On the way — and a current location if they've checked in.
How does the AI rank nearby spots?
We blend real-time signals: distance from you, review sentiment, truck status, and typical wait at this hour — and will layer in active Hotplates when they go live.
