Your food truck menu,
one scan away
Customers scan your QR code, browse your full menu, customise their order, pay on their phone and walk away — with a notification pinging them the moment their food is ready. No app download. No queuing at the hatch. No shouted names.
Free to set up. No monthly fee. 2% per transaction when you trade.
No app. Just scan.
The biggest barrier to QR ordering is getting customers to download something. With Eventifood, there is nothing to download. Your customer points their camera at the code, the menu opens, they order. It works on every smartphone, every browser, every network.
What QR ordering actually costs — and what others charge
Most QR ordering systems designed for hospitality are priced for sit-down restaurants with fixed locations and predictable monthly turnover. Food trucks are different — you might trade every weekend in summer and barely touch the van in January.
Here's the honest maths. On 100 orders at an £8 average — a reasonable Saturday market — our 2% platform fee comes to £16 for the day. A typical SaaS QR ordering tool charges £79/month. Every month. Whether you're trading or not.
Real example
Busy Saturday market
Quiet January week
If you trade 8 months a year, a £79/month QR system costs you £948 — including 4 months when you earned nothing. Eventifood costs you nothing in those 4 months. That difference pays for a lot of ingredients.

Their phone buzzes the moment you mark the order ready on your kitchen board. They walk up, collect and go.
Where to display your QR code
On the van
Print and laminate. Stick it beside the hatch window, above the menu board, or on the serving counter. Every customer in the queue sees it.
At festivals & events
Pin one to the queue barrier, one to the fence, one on the van. Customers see it while waiting and order before they even reach the front.
On printed menus
Your Eventifood print menus have a QR code on every individual item — customers scan what they want and it drops straight into their basket.
On packaging
Add your QR code to bags, boxes and napkins. Customers who enjoyed your food last time can scan and reorder next time they see you.
On social media
Share your store link on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. Anyone who sees your post can open your menu and pre-order for when you next park up.
On table cards
At seated events or covered markets, a small table card with the QR code means customers can order from their seat — no queue at all.
What makes a QR ordering system actually work at a food truck
A QR code that opens a PDF menu is not a QR ordering system. That's just a fancy leaflet. A real QR food ordering system lets customers browse, customise, pay, and track their order — all from the scan.
The other thing that matters at a food truck: speed. If the menu takes 8 seconds to load, most people will give up and walk to the front of the queue instead. Eventifood menus load in under a second on a typical mobile connection — we optimise aggressively for mobile data.

QR code on every single menu item

Does QR code ordering require customers to download an app?
+
No app, no account, no friction. Customers point their phone camera at your code and the menu opens in their browser. It works on every smartphone — iOS 11+, Android 8+, and any modern mobile browser.
How much does a QR code food ordering system cost in the UK?
+
Setting up Eventifood is free. You pay 2% per transaction on the PAYG plan — so on a 150-order Saturday market at £8 average, you pay £24. A typical SaaS QR ordering platform charges £79–129/month whether you trade or not. Eventifood charges £0 in months when your van is parked.
What happens after a customer scans the QR code?
+
They see your full branded menu — photos, prices, categories, extras. They add items, choose customisations, and pay by card or PayPal. Your kitchen board shows the order within seconds. The customer gets a notification when it's ready.
Can I put a QR code on individual items rather than a general menu?
+
Yes. Eventifood generates print menus with a separate QR code on every item. Scan the burger code and it goes into the basket as a burger. Massively reduces ordering time at busy events.
Does QR ordering work without WiFi?
+
Customers need a data connection for payment. The menu itself is lightweight enough to load on a poor signal. Your kitchen board runs on 4G — no on-site WiFi required.
Can I still take cash orders alongside QR orders?
+
Yes. You can manually add cash orders to your kitchen board at any time. Many traders run QR + cash in parallel until they feel confident going fully cashless.
What if someone doesn't have a smartphone?
+
You can always take their order verbally and enter it on your kitchen board manually. QR ordering is an option for customers, not a requirement — older or less tech-comfortable customers are never left out.
