QR menu and ordering for food trucks

A food truck QR menu is a code on your truck that opens your menu on the guest's phone, where they can also place their order. Guests choose while they queue, and your crew works each order from the dashboard.

14 days free, no credit card. Tell us about your venue in a short form and the team gets you set up.

What your team sees in the orders list

Place an order on the phone. This panel then shows it as your team sees it in the orders list.

This demo updates both sides at once. In QckOrder your team sees new orders when they open or refresh the orders list, and guests see the status when they open or refresh their order page.

Where a food truck slows down

  • A line that blocks the pavement

    Guests scan the code while they wait and choose before they reach the window. The window is for handing over food and taking payment, not for reading out the menu.

  • A short menu that changes every day

    Edit items, prices and photos in the dashboard before you open. For a festival, keep a second menu ready and switch which one is active.

  • Orders are hard to hear over a generator and a crowd

    Guests type their order, so there is nothing to mishear. Your crew reads each order in the orders list and moves it along.

  • Event visitors speak other languages

    Enter your menu in the languages you turn on, and guests switch language from the menu header. They read what is on offer and order without a translator.

How QR ordering works at a food truck

  1. Guests scan the code

    The code on the truck or on a stand in the queue opens your menu in the phone browser. No app to install and no account to create.

  2. They order from your short menu

    Guests add items to the cart, write a note and send the order before they reach the window, so they arrive knowing what they want.

  3. Your crew works each order

    In the orders list, your crew moves each order from pending to accepted, preparing, ready and completed. Guests can check the status on their phone.

Where the code goes on a food truck

Put a printed code where guests look while they wait: on the truck, in the queue and at your pitch.

  • On the truck

    A sticker or sign beside the window, at eye level, so guests can scan it as they walk up.

  • On a stand in the queue

    A sign along the line lets people read the menu and order well before they reach the window.

  • At events and markets

    Take the printed code to a festival or market. It opens the same menu wherever you park.

Your estimate

If guests placed those orders by QR instead of staff taking them, that is about 70 hours a month, worth $1,190 at your rate, against $49 for Growth.

On these numbers the time is worth $1,141 more than the plan.

The plan is covered at about 116 QR orders a month.

How this is calculated
  • QR orders per month = orders per day × days open × QR share
  • Staff hours = QR orders per month × minutes per order ÷ 60
  • Value of time = staff hours × staff cost per hour
  • Break-even orders = plan cost ÷ (minutes per order ÷ 60 × staff cost)

Food truck QR menu: questions

What is a food truck QR menu?

A food truck QR menu is a code, printed on the truck or a stand, that opens your menu on the guest's phone. With QckOrder the same menu takes orders: guests choose in the queue and send the order, and your crew works it from the dashboard. Nothing to install.

Does a food truck QR menu need an internet connection?

Yes. Guests need a mobile signal to open the menu and send an order, and your crew needs a connection to open the orders list. QckOrder has no offline mode. If the signal fails at a busy event, take orders at the window as you do today.

Is QckOrder a card terminal or a till?

No. QckOrder takes orders. It is not a card terminal, a mobile till or a cash register system, and it does not connect to one. Keep the payment device you use now. QckOrder only changes how guests choose and send their order.

How do guests pay for a QR order?

Guests pay you at the window, by cash or card, as they do now. QckOrder does not process payments. Your crew marks the order as paid in the dashboard, so the orders list shows who has paid and who has not.

How many QR codes do I need?

One per location. You generate it in the dashboard, download it as a PNG and print as many copies as you need. Guests can tell your team where they sit in the order note.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The trial lasts 14 days and needs no credit card. Send the short form with your venue details and the team sets up your menu with you.
