Full map

One map. Every Black-owned truck within reach.

No more chasing Instagram stories to figure out where lunch is parked today. BlackPlate pulls live vendor check-ins, weekly routes, and event lineups into one map you can trust.

Live check-ins

See which trucks are actually open right now, where they're parked, and how long they'll be there.

Weekly schedules

Follow a vendor's regular route — Tuesday lunch spot, Friday night market, Sunday brunch pop-up.

Events & pop-ups

Discover festivals, markets, and private events with Black-owned street-food lineups.

For truck owners

Built for the way street food actually works.

BlackPlate was designed with mobile vendors in mind — not shoehorned in. Get discovered by hungry diners nearby, publish your weekly route once, and take event and catering bookings from the same dashboard.

  • One-tap live check-ins. Park, tap "I'm live," done. You show up on the map instantly and stay there until you close out.
  • Weekly schedule you publish once. Set your Mon–Sun stops with times and addresses. Diners see today's spot the moment they open the map.
  • Event & catering bookings. Take private-event, festival, and catering requests through your listing — with quotes, deposits, and confirmations handled for you.
  • ORA + DJ AI in your corner. A private AI operations coach for menu, pricing, and growth, plus a marketing agent that writes your weekly promo posts.
