Food trucks serve burgers, tacos, curries, pizza and more from a van or trailer. They park up for office lunch crowds, markets and festivals, and get booked for weddings, parties and company events, often with a deposit. Service is fast, queues are long and signal can be patchy. A payments app that takes quick card and phone payments at the hatch, sends payment links for event deposits and helps pay pitch fees can win these traders, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take fast payments at the hatch
Quick card and phone payments keep the queue moving at lunch and festivals, so trucks serve more people in a busy hour.

Send payment links for event bookings
Payment links for deposits and final balances on weddings and private events get money in before the truck turns up and cut down on chasing.
Grow through markets and festivals
Food trucks trade side by side at markets and festivals. One truck on your app can bring the traders, organisers and customers around them.
