Why owners switch

One platform instead of five disconnected tools

Payments in one app, counts in a notebook, recipes in a spreadsheet, marketing in your head. The Food Truck Network puts all of it in one place.

Sell more without a longer line

Online ordering, pickup windows, and a kitchen display keep the window moving at peak.

Know your food cost daily

Recipe costing, inventory counts, and invoice capture replace the spreadsheet you never update.

Bring customers back

Loyalty, gift cards, push notifications, and automated campaigns work while you cook.

Features

Everything a truck needs, nothing it doesn't

Eighteen modules designed around how trucks actually operate — small spaces, moving locations, and thin margins.

Online Ordering

A branded ordering site and mobile experience so customers order ahead and skip the line.

AI Business Coach

A daily brief that tells you what to do next

Your numbers are only useful if someone reads them. The AI Business Coach reads them every morning and hands you a short, specific plan for the day.

  • Reads yesterday's sales, food cost, and labor
  • Flags the items quietly losing you money
  • Suggests prep quantities for today's location
  • Writes it in plain language, in under a minute of reading

Built by a food truck owner

Designed in a six-foot kitchen, not a boardroom

The Food Truck Network was built for a truck that was already open for business. Cookin' with Mike is our Founding Customer, and every feature earned its place during a real service.

  • Built inside a working truck, not a conference room
  • Every release ships to a real service before it ships to you
  • Features come from prep lists and festival Saturdays
  • If it doesn't survive a lunch rush, it doesn't ship

Comparison

Why The Food Truck Network is different from Square

Square is a great payment processor — and we run on it. The difference is everything that happens around the payment.

Mobile first

Runs on the phone already in your apron

Owners, staff, and customers each get an experience built for a phone — because nobody in a food truck is sitting at a desk.

  • Install to the home screen — no app store required
  • Owners run the truck from a phone
  • Staff clock in on a tablet in the truck
  • Customers order, save favorites, and get push alerts
Testimonials

What owners say after they switch

Straight from the truck that runs the platform every day.

“I stopped guessing. I open the app in the morning, read the brief, and I already know what to prep, what to price, and what to push.”
MikeOwner, Cookin' with Mike · Founding Customer
“Recipe costing was the thing I always meant to do and never did. Now it just happens, and I can see the margin on every melt before I print a menu.”
MikeOwner, Cookin' with Mike
“Online ordering cut our peak line in half. People order from the sidewalk and walk straight up to the window.”

Security & privacy

Trust that holds up on a Saturday rush

This page is maintained by The Food Truck Network to answer common security and privacy questions. It describes the controls in the platform today — it is not a certification or an independent audit.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Every request runs over HTTPS and platform data is stored encrypted by our cloud provider.

You never store card numbers

Payments are processed by Square. Card data never touches the platform or your devices.

Role-based access for your crew

Owners, managers, and staff see only what their role needs — with an audit trail on edits.

Your data stays yours

Export sales, costing, and customer data whenever you want. No lock-in, no resale of your data.

Read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Questions about data handling? Contact us.
