How to Use the Find A Treat App​

Step 1: Install the App

The first step to discovering your local ice cream vans is to install the Find A Treat app. Simply download the app from the App Store for iPhone or Google Play for Android. It’s quick, easy, and completely free!

Step 2: Register as a Customer or Vendor

Once the app is installed, you can choose to register as either a Customer or a Vendor.

  • Customer Registration: If you’re looking for ice cream vans nearby, register as a customer. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be taken directly into the app where you can begin exploring a map of ice cream vans near you. Simply search by your location, and our app will display a list of vans in your area, so you can easily find your next sweet treat!

  • Vendor Registration: If you own an ice cream van and want to be discovered by customers, register as a vendor. After signing up, you’ll have access to a special vendor experience where you can add your business details, including a photo of your van, business name, and a verified food rating from ratings.food.gov.uk. This rating will appear on your listing and help build trust with customers. 

Step 3: Vendor Features

As a vendor, you can share your location for free, allowing customers nearby to find you on the map. In addition, you have the option to buy pings to increase your visibility.

  • Pings: For just £1.99, you can purchase a ping that sends a notification to all nearby customers within a 3-mile radius. This helps draw more attention to your ice cream van and attracts more business.

  • Unlimited Pings: If you want to stay at the top of customers’ minds, you can purchase Unlimited Pings for £14.99 per month. This allows you to send notifications to nearby customers as often as you’d like, increasing your chances of getting noticed and keeping your van busy!
