A flat fee per host-spot booking
No percentage guesswork. Vendors pay a set fee every time they book a spot at a Foodie Lot host — and that per-spot fee drops as they move up a tier. A free floor keeps every truck on the map.

“Find Me” stops — $15 flat, any tier
Vendors can post their own off-platform locations so their whole week lives in the app. One flat price per stop, no metering — and they’re non-bookable, so host spots stay the premium path.
Per find-me stop
One flat price to add an off-platform location. No metering, no free allowance.
Always available
Starter, Pro or Elite — anyone can add a stop for the same flat fee.
Reach, not inventory
External stops are informational and clearly labeled — you’re listing for reach, reliability, and online ordering (coming soon).
Frequently asked questions
How much does Foodie Lot cost for customers?
Customers use Foodie Lot free forever — discovery, the live map, menus, reviews and "now serving" alerts are all included at no cost. An optional FoodieLot Supporter membership is $5/month for extra perks.
What do food-truck vendors pay?
Vendors can list for free and pay a flat $10 per host-spot booking. Paid tiers lower that per-spot fee to $8 and $5. There is no percentage sales commission.
What do hosts pay to list a location?
Hosts list their location for free. Foodie Lot collects one flat $10 fee per booking, and the host decides whether they absorb it or pass it to the vendor. Paid host plans add more spots, event days and placement.
What is a "Find Me" stop?
Vendors can post their own off-platform locations for a flat $15 per stop on any tier. These stops are informational and non-bookable, so host spots stay the premium path.
How do meal credits work?
Every verified review earns a {0.50} meal credit. After you review a truck, the vendor confirms your visit was real and a $1 credit is added to your account to spend on your next order. Leave 8 qualifying reviews in a calendar month and your FoodieLot Supporter membership is free that month.
Can vendors earn free host spots with meal credits?
Yes. Because every vendor account is also a full customer account, vendors earn the same meal credits from verified reviews and referrals. Vendors can redeem those credits against their host-spot booking fees — stack enough credits and your next spot is effectively free.
Do I earn anything for inviting people?
Yes. You earn $0.50 for each customer, $10 for each vendor and $20 for each host who joins with your invite link. A customer counts once they verify their email, turn on location and leave one geotagged review from a verified visit. A vendor or host counts once they complete their first booking on Foodie Lot. Vendors and hosts can use each credit for a meal or move it to booking credit.
Can I earn credits by referring others?
Yes. Invite a food truck and earn a credit when they land their first booking, and invite a host and earn a credit when their location lands its first booking. Each referral credit is worth $1. Vendors earn these too, because every vendor account is also a full customer account.
