Food trucks and street food traders serve fast-moving queues, cater private events and pay pitch fees to markets and festivals. A payments app built for them, under your own brand, can give each trader a QR payment link, catering invoices and an account, and you can offer it to traders across a city or festival circuit.
What food trucks need
- A payment link shown as a QR code at the hatch.
- Invoices and deposits for weddings, parties and corporate catering.
- Transfers to pay pitch fees and suppliers.
- An account that keeps takings apart from personal money.
Who could launch it
A street food market operator, a festival organiser, a traders' collective or an entrepreneur who knows the street food scene.
