ClusterTruck, an Indianapolis-based digital-first delivery kitchen company redefining the food delivery experience, announced the opening of its first franchise location at 13756 N. Meridian St. in Carmel, on Friday, Feb. 27.
As ClusterTruck celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026, its latest kitchen will offer diverse food options and strengthen delivery coverage along the North Meridian corridor and nearby communities.
The new Carmel kitchen will bring ClusterTruck’s beloved made-to-order menu to residents and businesses, featuring everything from breakfast burritos and tacos to burgers, loaded tots, mac and cheese, and global flavors like pad thai. Group ordering, one of ClusterTruck’s biggest benefits for customers, allows families and coworkers to place multiple orders at once, pay separately or together, and receive all items in a single, coordinated, and free delivery.

“As ClusterTruck celebrates a decade of business and continues to grow, our focus remains on delivering high-quality food through a seamless, reliable experience,” ClusterTruck CEO Janet Monroe said. “The Carmel kitchen and our new franchise model are strategic steps in our expansion, allowing us to reach new customers and better serve Indy’s northside with faster, more convenient free delivery, while also positioning us to repeat the process in future franchise locations.”
ClusterTruck’s technology-first model and fully integrated delivery process are powered by proprietary software that meticulously manages orders and kitchen timing while also considering delivery route length. Meals are cooked to order and delivered directly to customers, ensuring they arrive hot and fresh. The franchise model is designed around smaller, highly efficient kitchens, simplified operations, and centralized prep, allowing franchisees to maintain consistency, quality and scale while serving families, offices, and institutions.
Franchisee Joe Curtis, a local entrepreneur with a background in engineering and real estate, will operate the new Carmel location. Curtis was drawn to ClusterTruck’s tech-enabled model and diverse menu as a way to provide families – like his own children and grandchildren – with a high-quality, affordable dining option that caters to every taste and fits into modern lifestyles.

“Whether you’re a busy family juggling children’s activities and managing picky eaters or a group of coworkers ordering lunch at the office, everyone deserves a fast, affordable meal without sacrificing quality or cravings,” Curtis said. “My family has long been fans of ClusterTruck’s wide-ranging menu, convenience and reliability, which is why I’m excited to bring this new location to the Hamilton County community.”
ClusterTruck’s other central Indiana locations are in downtown Indianapolis, Broad Ripple, and Castleton. For more information on these locations or to view the full menu, visit ClusterTruck.com.
