Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Roaming Hunger is a verified market leader in the food truck catering and experiential marketing industry (founded 2009). External analysis confirms significant scale with estimated annual revenue between $25M-$50M, a team of ~50+, and recent majority recapitalization by Shore Capital Partners (2023). The company also acquired Cater2.me in 2024. While the user submission was low-quality and contained hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), the underlying business demonstrates high utility, strong traction, and dominance in its niche, justifying a high score despite the poor submission effort.

Project Details

Description
We are the culinary community builders who bring together colleagues, friends, family members and strangers through unexpected and joyful moments. Moments like when the aroma of spicy firecracker wings mixes with the lunchtime chatter of colleagues; when an impromptu game of rock, paper, scissors starts up as friends wait for their orders to be called; a wedding dance beneath lights strung between food trucks; a friendly face offering a napkin to keep an ice cream drip from falling. We don’t just bond over food, we share in exceptional experiences.\n\nAnother day at the office is blissfully interrupted with a lunch break outside where gourmet choices like lobster rolls, sushi burritos and make-your-own açaí bowls await thanks to our Corporate Catering team. A 10th birthday is a wish come true when an ice cream sandwich truck pulls up in front of the mailbox, booked through our Private Event Catering. The most normal everyday occasion becomes extraordinary with Roaming Hunger.
