Streetfood Quest | Food truck platform
Creating a food truck platform for Montréal from brand to field execution
CC&Co and Quest created Streetfood Quest from zero: brand, mobile discovery experience, operator tools, city dispatch logic, launch communication and the field execution that made the platform real on Montréal streets.
Streetfood Quest was conceived, designed and built as a real platform, connecting foodies, food truck operators and city logistics through one digital ecosystem.

Challenge
The challenge
Three audiences, one platform
Food trucks were becoming part of Montréal's public food culture, and each side of that movement wanted something different. Customers wanted a fast, appetizing way to find trucks. Operators wanted visibility and a practical way to manage locations, schedules and menus. The city needed order around where mobile kitchens could be and when.
Treating those as three separate products would have killed the idea. The challenge was one system that made appetite, operations and municipal coordination work from the same foundation, and then making that startup idea operational on real streets.
Insight
The strategic insight
Discovery is an operations problem
Finding a food truck depends on real locations, timing, schedules, availability, city permissions and operator behaviour. A pretty map solves none of that on its own. Streetfood Quest was built to connect appetite with logistics: public discovery, operator tools and city dispatch logic running on shared data, with a brand on top that made the whole thing easy to explain and adopt.
Deliverables
What CC&Co and Quest created
Brand and identity
A public identity that felt urban, local and appetizing, strong enough to carry the platform through launch communication and street-level activations.
Mobile discovery experience
The consumer UX: find trucks by location, schedule and menu, with real-time context instead of a static directory.
Operator tools
The interface logic for food truck owners to manage presence, schedules, menus and availability without a back-office team.
City dispatch logic
Location and dispatch structure that could connect the platform to municipal management of mobile food activity.
Launch, activation and field execution
Website, content direction, public communication and the event activations that put the platform in front of people, executed by the same team that designed it.
$3,000
The $3,000 screen
At a Streetfood Quest activation sponsored by Pages Jaunes, the main display failed. The activation still had to run, so the team bought a replacement screen for roughly $3,000 on the spot and delivered the experience properly.
That decision describes how the whole platform was built. Nobody waited for perfect conditions. Product creation happens in the field as much as on screens, and the public experience sometimes depends on an immediate, unglamorous call.
Impact
Impact
Streetfood Quest became a working platform around Montréal's food truck movement: discovery for the public, a stronger digital presence for operators, and a framework connecting mobile food activity to city-level coordination.
For CC&Co, the project is proof of original venture creation. The team spotted the opportunity, built the brand, shaped the product, wrote the communication and executed on the street. For organizations building digital products, restaurant platforms or city-facing tools, this is what concept-to-deployment looks like from one team.
Frequently asked questions
1.What did CC&Co and Quest create for Streetfood Quest?
The entire platform from zero: concept, brand, mobile discovery experience, operator tools, city dispatch logic, website, launch communication and event activation.
2.Who was Streetfood Quest built for?
Three audiences at once: foodies looking for trucks, operators managing their presence, and city-level coordination of mobile food activity.
3.Was Streetfood Quest only a food truck directory?
It was an ecosystem. Public discovery, operator tools, geolocation and dispatch logic ran on the same foundation, which is what made it useful to all three audiences.
4.Why does Streetfood Quest matter for CC&Co?
It proves the team can create a venture end to end: identify the opportunity, build the brand and product, and execute the launch in the field, including buying a $3,000 screen mid-event to keep an activation running.
