Food Truck POS — Take Orders, Track Sales, Get Paid
Traditional POS systems (Toast, Clover, Square) charge $1,000+ in hardware and $70+/month in software fees. They're built for brick-and-mortar restaurants. A food truck doesn't need a fixed terminal — it needs **the customer's phone to act as the terminal**. That's the My Food Truck approach: the customer scans, orders, pays. You receive, prep, hand over.
Why a phone-first POS beats a terminal
1) No hardware cost ($0 vs $1,000+). 2) No card reader fees (Stripe processing is the only fee). 3) No physical line — customers order from their car, their office, or even from your truck's QR code. 4) Built-in receipt: the customer's email IS the receipt. 5) Data is in the cloud — no risk of losing sales data if your terminal dies.
What about cash customers?
You can still take cash for walk-ups. Our dashboard supports manual entry for in-person orders so your sales data stays complete. About 70% of food trucks using My Food Truck see cash share drop to under 20% within 2 months as customers migrate to online ordering.
Integration with accounting
Export all orders as CSV (QuickBooks, Xero compatible). Daily payout from Stripe matches each day's revenue line-by-line. Sales tax calculated automatically based on your state (US) or VAT rate (EU).
