The Food Truck Network
The Food Truck Network is a cloud platform for food truck owners that combines online ordering, kitchen display, recipe costing, inventory, staff time clock, loyalty, gift cards, marketing and an AI daily brief. It sits on top of the owner's existing Square account for card payments rather than replacing it. Plans are priced per truck per month with no contract.

Who it is for
Single food trucks already on Square

Trucks that want daily food and labour cost visibility
Pro and Premium plans add recipe costing, inventory, food cost tracking and a prime cost dashboard.
Truck operators running several trucks
Premium adds multi-truck reporting, and the vendor says fleet pricing is available on request.
Less suited to: Restaurants: the vendor says it is built for food trucks, not restaurants. It also relies on Square for payments.
