Food Truck & Mobile POS
17 products listed
Introduction
A food truck has no fixed counter, patchy signal and very little space for equipment. The software here is built for that setting. Products range from a card reader and app on a phone to browser-based systems that add online pre-ordering, a location calendar and a kitchen screen. Some are free to use and charge per order or on card payments, while others charge a flat monthly fee. Of the 16 profiled products, 9 mention offline use, which matters when a festival site or car park has no signal. Some also suit markets, pop-up stalls and small cafes.
Who needs it
Food trucks, market stalls, pop-ups and other mobile vendors. It becomes worth moving beyond a basic card reader once you want pre-orders, event schedules or stock figures. A single truck often needs little hardware, while a fleet may need shared menus. Card rules and sales tax differ by place, so check yours.

What to look for
Runs on a phone or tablet. Several products need no extra hardware, using a phone or tablet with tap-to-pay. This keeps costs low in a small space.
Offline and patchy signal. 9 of the 16 profiled products mention offline use. Ask what keeps working when a festival field has no coverage.
Fee model: free, flat or percentage. Some products are free but take a percentage of card sales, and others charge a flat subscription. Compare both at your daily takings.
Pre-orders and location sharing. Some products add pre-orders, a location calendar or a public menu page. These help regulars find you.
Built for trucks or general POS. Truck-specific products handle events and scheduling, while general POS tools may suit a truck that also runs a shop.
