Food truck software that
puts ordering in your customers' hands
Most food truck software is a restaurant till bolted onto a tablet. Eventifood does something different — customers scan your QR code, order on their phone, and get an email the moment their food is ready. No till. No terminal. No monthly fee.
2% per order. Nothing monthly. Your store, menu and QR code are free forever.

Most food truck software is just a POS in disguise. Eventifood isn't.
Square, Toast, Lightspeed — these are restaurant point-of-sale systems that have been adapted for food trucks. They assume a staffed counter where an employee takes every order. They require a card terminal. They charge monthly whether you're trading or not.
Eventifood is built from the ground up for a different model: customers do the ordering themselves, on their own phones, through a QR code you display at your van. No staff taking orders. No card reader. No till. Just a kitchen display showing you exactly what to cook — and an automatic notification to the customer when it's done.
It's not a POS adapted for food trucks. It's food truck software built the way food trucks actually work.
Customer scans QR code
Displayed on your van, banner or hatch
Orders and pays on their phone
Card, PayPal — no app download needed
Order appears on kitchen display
Instantly, on any tablet or screen you have
You cook and mark it ready
One tap — customer gets email notification
Customer collects their food
No shouting, no numbers, no paper tickets
Everything your food van software needs to do
Every feature is included. No add-ons. No tiers. No feature gatekeeping. If you have an Eventifood store, you have all of this.
QR code ordering — no app needed
Display your QR code on a board, banner, or serving hatch. Customers scan with their phone camera and your full menu opens in their browser. They order, pay, and get a confirmation — without downloading anything.
Live kitchen display board
Every paid order appears instantly on your kitchen screen. One tap sets it to preparing; another marks it ready. Use any tablet, laptop, or cheap Amazon Fire as your display — no specialist hardware required.
Customer notified when ready
When you mark an order ready, the customer gets an email notification. No more shouting names, handing out paper tickets, or running a numbered buzzer system. They come to collect when they know it's ready.
Real-time sales analytics
See exactly what sold, when your peak was, and what your busiest items are. Built-in profit tracking, order history, and daily summaries — more insight than most full POS systems charge extra for.
Built for festivals and events
When 300 people queue at your van, QR ordering lets most of them browse, order, and pay before they reach the front. Your kitchen never stops. Eventifood was specifically designed around the chaos of a busy outdoor event.
No cash, no theft
When every payment is digital, there is nothing to steal at the hatch. No float to set up, no cash to count at the end of the night, no staff temptation, no opportunist grab. Every penny is traceable from order to payout.
Pay only when you trade
2% per order. Zero monthly fees. Zero terminal rental. Zero cost in the off-season. On a £1,500 market day, your Eventifood fee is £30. In December when the van is parked, it's £0.

Food van software for every kind of mobile caterer
Whether you run one van or ten, trade weekly or seasonally, Eventifood adapts to how you work.
Street food vans
Your regular pitch, a weekly market, or a different location each day. QR codes work everywhere you can stand a banner.
Festival catering
High-volume events are where Eventifood has the biggest impact. Customers order from the queue — your kitchen never has a dead moment.
Market stalls
Indoor or outdoor markets, monthly fairs, car boot events. Works on a cheap tablet with a mobile data connection.
Pop-up restaurants
Temporary venues, warehouse kitchens, rooftop dining. Set up a new store in 20 minutes, tear it down just as fast.
Corporate lunch pitches
Regular lunchtime spots at business parks and offices. Pre-ordering works especially well when customers have a fixed lunch break.
Private event catering
Weddings, parties, private festivals. One QR code, one menu, all orders tracked in one place for the whole event.
Ready to try food truck software that works differently?
Set up your store, build your menu and take your first order — all in under 30 minutes.
Seasonal trader? Your food truck software should know that.
Festival season runs from April to October. Christmas markets fill November and December. January and February? The van is in the yard.
Every traditional food van software provider charges you for those quiet months anyway. Eventifood doesn't. Your store, menu, QR codes and customer order history are all waiting for you when you come back in spring — and you paid nothing while you were away.
Park the van in November. Pay nothing until April. Then 2% per order — only when you're actually trading.

Food truck software — frequently asked questions
What is the best food truck software in the UK?
+
The best food truck software depends on your model. If you want customers to order at a counter staffed by your team, Square or SumUp work well. If you want customers to scan a QR code, order on their phone and get a notification when their food is ready — removing staff from the order-taking process entirely — Eventifood is built for exactly that. It's the only UK food truck platform that charges nothing monthly and works without any hardware beyond a screen to show the kitchen board.
Is there food van software with no monthly fee?
+
Yes — Eventifood. You pay 2% per order and nothing else. No monthly subscription, no terminal rental, no setup fee, no contract. If you have a slow month or stop trading for the season, you pay £0.
How does QR ordering work for a food truck or food van?
+
You display your Eventifood QR code at your van. Customers scan it with their phone camera — no app required. Your menu opens in their browser. They choose items, pay by card or PayPal, and receive a digital confirmation. When you mark their order ready on your kitchen display, they get an email notification and come to collect.
What hardware do I need?
+
Just a screen to show the kitchen board — any tablet, laptop, or old monitor will do. An Amazon Fire 7 tablet (£49) is popular with our traders. The customer ordering happens entirely on their own phone. You never need to buy or rent a card terminal.
Does Eventifood work at festivals and busy events?
+
Yes — this is where it makes the biggest difference. At a high-volume event, most customers can browse your menu, order, and pay from the back of the queue. By the time they reach the front, their order is already cooking. Your kitchen never idles. Staff never take a verbal order. It's specifically designed for this scenario.
How does Eventifood compare to Square food truck software?
+
Square is a traditional POS — a member of your staff takes orders at a counter using a Square device and card reader. Eventifood removes that entire interaction: customers order and pay on their own phones. Square charges 1.75% per transaction plus optional monthly fees and card reader costs. Eventifood charges 2% per order and nothing monthly. The key difference is the model: Square serves your team, Eventifood serves your customers directly.
Can I use this software for a market stall or pop-up?
+
Yes. Eventifood works anywhere you can display a QR code and has an internet connection. Market stalls, indoor food halls, corporate lunch pitches, private event catering — the platform is identical in every setting.
How quickly can I be set up and taking real orders?
+
Most traders are live in under 30 minutes. Register, add your menu items, connect a payment provider (PayPal takes about 5 minutes), and your QR code is immediately available to download and print.
