QR ordering for food trucks & market stalls
Takezi provides QR ordering at Australian food trucks and market stalls. One window does two jobs. It takes orders and it hands out food, and the queue blocks both. A QR on the window ledge splits the jobs.
The window is the bottleneck
Every minute spent taking an order at the window is a minute the window is not handing out food. The line looks long, people keep walking, and the grill sits half empty. A QR on the ledge, the bumper, or an A-frame beside the truck lets them scan, pick, and pay on the phone — Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card through your Stripe or Square. They step out of the way. No guest app. No account. Guests pay you directly through your own payment account, card fees stay with that provider, and Takezi takes no cut of the food.
They wander the market. You cook.
The ticket lands on the pickup queue — a phone or tablet next to the grill. Nobody is hovering at the window asking if the burger is theirs. They are off looking at the next stall. When it is up they get one ping — tracking page first, WhatsApp if they have it, SMS as backup — and they come back for the handover. That is all the window does now. The waterfall keeps the cost down: the tracking page costs nothing, WhatsApp comes out of the 1,000 a month on the A$99 plan (6,000 on Busy), and SMS is the backup at about 5 cents after the included 600 or 2,200.
A market order, step by step
- The guest scans the QR on the ledge or the A-frame and picks their order.
- They pay — Apple Pay, Google Pay or card through your Stripe or Square — and wander the market.
- The ticket lands on the pickup queue next to the grill, in paid order.
- Food up, you tap ready. One ping goes out. They come back for the handover.
Built for one-person operations
No hardware to mount, no kiosk to power. The QR is paper. The queue runs on the phone already in the truck. If the market has no wifi, a hotspot is enough. Set up before service, take it down with the awning. Works the same at a weekend market stall as it does on the truck.
What this is not
Not a marketplace. Not a food-ordering app your customers need to install. No commission on the food. Australia only. A$99 (600 SMS / 1,000 WhatsApp) or A$249 (2,200 SMS / 6,000 WhatsApp) plus GST. Available for Australian shops. Tell us about your shop to get started or arrange the optional 7-day trial.
Common questions
What hardware does a food truck need?+
None to mount. The QR is paper — on the ledge, the bumper or an A-frame — and the pickup queue runs on the phone or tablet already in the truck. If the market has no wifi, a hotspot is enough.
Does it work at a weekend market stall?+
Yes. Same setup: paper QR out before service, queue on a phone, down with the awning at the end. Guests scan, pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card through your own Stripe or Square, and step out of the way.
What does Takezi cost for a truck?+
A$99 a month with 600 SMS and 1,000 WhatsApp included, or A$249 with 2,200 SMS and 6,000 WhatsApp. Page orders are unlimited and there is no commission on the food. Extra SMS after the cap is about 5 cents.
