Why it matters

The detailsthat make it real.

  • AI proximity ranking

    Distance, wait, sentiment and your history — blended into a single 'tap this one' score.

  • Sizzle ring

    When Hotplate launches, active deals will pulse with a sizzle halo — until then, pins stay sharp with truck status and review tone.

  • Deep-link focus

    Every pin has a shareable URL that opens straight to that restaurant on any device.

  • Truck statuses

    Food trucks show live status and location. Serving, closed, or en route.

The AI layer

Looks like a map.Thinks like a concierge.

Behind every pin is a small AI ranking signal: proximity, wait time, review tone, active Hotplate, and what you've liked before. You just see the one pin light up.

  • Signals in

    Live signals, every second

    Open hours, current wait, active Hotplates, food truck GPS, review tone — all streamed as the map breathes.

  • AI ranks

    One score, per pin

    Distance × sentiment × wait × your own taste. Math you never see, but you feel as that one pin pulses a little harder.

  • You tap

    The winning pin

    No filter modal. No 'save your preferences' survey. Tap the sizzle, get the card, go eat.

FAQ

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.
