Wood-fired pizza vans and trailers trade at farmers' markets, pub car parks, festivals and village events, and cater weddings, birthdays and work parties. On public pitches they take many quick payments in a rush, often with customers ordering ahead so pizzas come out in turn. Private events are booked with a deposit, with the balance due before the day and extras like extra guests paid after. A payments app that takes fast payments at the hatch, handles pre-orders and sends deposit and balance links can win pizza vans, and every customer who pays them sees your app.

Take fast payments and pre-orders
A tap-to-pay link or QR code at the hatch keeps the queue moving, and a pre-order link lets customers pay ahead and collect when their pizza is ready.

Send deposit and balance links for events
Couples and party hosts can pay a deposit to book the date and the balance before the day, so the van owner buys dough, toppings and wood with the money already in.
Grow through street food and events
Pizza vans trade next to coffee vans, street food stalls and mobile bars at the same markets and events. When those businesses take payments through your app, each pizza van can bring more of them onto it.
