Costs less than 2 hours of staff time a month.
The Trader plan is £19/month — less than paying a member of staff for a Saturday morning shift. Yet it replaces your card machine, your POS terminal, your queue management system, and your end-of-night reconciliation headache. In one platform. On any device you already own.
Seasonal trader? PAYG is made for you.
On PAYG you only pay when orders come through — 2% per transaction. Park the van in November, come back in April. Your store, your menu, and your full order history are exactly where you left them. You paid nothing while you were away.
High-volume van? Monthly can cost less.
If you trade heavily year-round, a flat monthly plan replaces the per-transaction fee entirely — meaning the more orders you take, the more you save compared to PAYG. All plans include every feature: no tier restrictions.

Frequently asked questions
Everything food van and food truck owners ask us before signing up.
What is Eventifood and how does it work for food vans?
+
Eventifood is a food van software and ordering platform built specifically for UK food trucks, street food traders, mobile caterers and festival vendors. You get a branded ordering page at yourname.eventifood.com, a printable QR code to display at your van, and a live kitchen display board. Customers scan the QR code, browse your menu, pay on their phone, and get notified when their food is ready — all without downloading an app.
Does Eventifood have a monthly fee?
+
You choose the plan that suits your trading pattern. The PAYG plan has no monthly fee at all — you pay 2% per transaction only when orders come through. If your van is parked up for the winter, you pay absolutely nothing, making it ideal for seasonal food trucks, festival traders, and part-year mobile caterers. If you trade heavily year-round, a flat monthly plan can work out cheaper overall by reducing the per-order cost. Both plans include the full Eventifood platform with no feature restrictions.
Do my customers need to download an app?
+
No app required — ever. Your customers scan a QR code with their phone camera and your full menu opens instantly in their mobile browser. There's no download, no account creation, and no friction standing between them and placing an order. This is one of the biggest differences between Eventifood and traditional food truck POS systems.
How does Eventifood help with food truck queue management?
+
Eventifood eliminates the queue bottleneck entirely. Instead of customers standing at the hatch waiting to order, they browse the menu and pay on their phone while waiting — or even before they arrive. The kitchen receives the order instantly, and customers get a live notification when their food is ready for collection. Van owners consistently report serving 40–60% more customers per hour at events and markets.
Can I use Eventifood at festivals and events?
+
Yes — Eventifood is designed for exactly this. You can create a dedicated event menu with its own pricing, items and branding, completely separate from your regular menu. Switch it live in minutes before an event and switch back afterwards. It works on any mobile data connection and is optimised for high-volume service at busy festivals, markets and corporate catering events.
What payments can my customers use?
+
Customers can currently pay by card and PayPal — all processed securely at the point of ordering. Apple Pay and Google Pay are coming soon via Stripe Connect. There is no cash handling, no float to manage, and no end-of-night counting. Every payment is recorded digitally and instantly reconciled against your orders.
How is Eventifood different from a standard food truck POS?
+
A traditional food truck POS (EPOS) requires staff to take orders at the hatch — customers still queue, still wait, and cash or card is handled by the same person making the food. Eventifood shifts order-taking entirely to the customer's phone. Staff focus 100% on cooking. The kitchen display shows every order the moment it's paid. There is no card machine to rent, no POS terminal, and no monthly fee when you're not trading.
What hardware do I need to run Eventifood?
+
None that you don't already own. Eventifood runs in a browser on any Windows PC, Mac, tablet (iPad, Android, Amazon Fire) or Raspberry Pi. Mount a tablet in your van or prop up a cheap laptop and you have a full POS system, kitchen display and customer ordering platform — with no dedicated till, no POS machine, and no card reader required. For card payments, Eventifood works with SumUp, PayPal and Stripe — use whichever you already have.
How long does it take to set up?
+
Most food van owners are live within 30 minutes. Register, upload your menu, set your prices, and your QR-code ordering store is ready. No developer needed. No tech skills required.
Does it work for mobile catering and street food markets?
+
Yes. Eventifood is used by food truck operators, street food traders, mobile caterers, market stall vendors, festival food vans, and pop-up kitchens across the UK. The platform is built for mobile, outdoor, and high-footfall trading environments where speed and simplicity matter most.
Can I track my food van sales and profit?
+
Yes. The analytics dashboard shows your top-selling items, revenue by day or trading period, gross and net profit per item (when you enter cost prices), and your busiest trading hours. You can use this to make smarter decisions about your menu, pricing, and stock ordering.
