Food trucks & market stalls
QR ordering for food trucks & 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.
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.
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). Paid from day one, cancel anytime. Optional 7-day taste: card on file, 20 SMS and 50 WhatsApp, then A$99.
