🚨☕ A note to our Caffinator family...

Hey Peeps— it's Ian. I owe you all an apology and an explanation.

The truck's been quiet lately, and that's on me. With gas prices where they are right now, I've had to make the hard call to pause operations rather than run events where the math just doesn't work. Every mile has to make sense, and right now... they don't.

I hate this part. You all have been nothing short of amazing — the morning regulars, the festival crowds, the folks who drive across town for a latte. You deserve better than radio silence, and I'm sorry I didn't communicate sooner.

Here's the good news: the Caffinator isn't going anywhere. This is a pit stop, not the end of the road. I'm using this time to line up events and routes that make sense, so when the truck fires back up, it's here to stay.

Thank you for your patience, your support, and for being the best customers a guy with a coffee truck could ask for. ☕🧡
