Frequently Asked Questions

No. Every prompt works on the free version of ChatGPT. Paste it, swap the [brackets] for your truck details, and send. Paid plans reply faster and add image tools, but they are not required for useful posts and menus.
Yes, and it is perfect for it. Give it your spot, hours, and top item, and it writes a punchy post in seconds, even different versions for Instagram and X. Post at a consistent time each day so followers learn to check for your location.
Use the vendor pitch and corporate outreach prompts to contact festivals, offices, and planners quickly, and the booking info sheet so inquiries get instant answers. Private and recurring bookings pay more and smooth out slow curbside days, so pitch them constantly.
No. ChatGPT does not track your city's specific events, fees, or permit rules, and it can invent details if asked. Use it to write the outreach and menus, but confirm dates, vendor fees, and licensing yourself before you commit.
