Tools the owner built and shipped

A food-truck owner needed tools he could maintain

Salcido’s moved to a fixed location in late 2025 and needed steadier foot traffic. The owner was on site only part of the week, had no budget for a marketing hire and couldn’t tell whether his small ad campaigns led to visits.

Teach the owner to build and revise a working project

We taught the owner to set up an AI development environment in Cursor, give it consistent brand information and keep revising a working project.

We also went through what his ad metrics could and couldn’t show: a directions tap signals interest, but doesn’t prove someone visited the truck.

What the owner shipped

  1. 01

    Website

    A site for the truck’s menu, location and ordering.

  2. 02

    Native iOS app

    Square ordering and push-notification tests.

  3. 03

    Dashboard

    Updates to specials, location and opening hours without submitting a new app version.

Built by the owner after the training.

Tools he can keep running himself

The point of the training was independence, and the shipped tools show it worked: the owner builds and updates his own marketing without waiting on a developer or an App Store review for routine changes.

How to read these numbers

The outcome of this engagement is the set of tools the owner built. Customer visits and advertising return were not measured as results of the training.
