Who this is for
Food trucks, carts, and pop-ups with limited SKUs, one or two staff, and a hard stop when the event ends.
The restaurant problem
The menu must be short
If the POS screen is a hotel banquet list, you will miss the window. Favourites and modifiers only.
Connectivity is a venue lottery
Parks and festivals fail. Hybrid/offline POS is the relevant question: what still bills and what syncs later. Confirm the exact offline scope on a demo.
Close is tonight
You need a shift report before you drive away — mix, cash, and what sold out — not a weekly HQ pack.
Lunch truck, 40 people, 12 minutes
One person on POS, one on the plancha. No token TV unless you want it. QR is optional (some lines will not scan). Inventory is “did we 86 the special,” not a commissary MRP. End of event: cash-up and mix.
How the workflow runs
- 1
Sell
Short menu, modifiers, tax. Mobile/tablet POS as you already staff it.
- 2
Cook
KDS or a single screen if the line is two people. Paper is a wind problem.
- 3
Take payment
Cards/wallets as you configure. QR payments ≠ QR table ordering; do not conflate them.
- 4
Close
Same-day sales. Stock notes for the next service.
How Vyfoo handles this
Vyfoo’s hybrid cloud + offline POS is the capability this page is allowed to mention because it is how the product is positioned site-wide. This page does not claim GPS “location tracking,” route optimisation, or a commissary warehouse module. A truck can be an outlet in a multi-outlet group if you also run a shop.
Modules involved
What to consider before you buy
- • What must work with no venue Wi-Fi?
- • Is the kitchen one person or two stations?
- • Do you also run a permanent outlet on the same account?
- • How do you cash up in a parking lot?
Questions operators actually ask
Does food truck POS work without internet?
Vyfoo is sold as hybrid cloud + offline POS. The exact functions available offline should be walked through for your hardware and payments — this page will not invent a guarantee.
Do I need OSDS on a truck?
Usually no. Order status displays help indoor pickup queues. A truck line can see the window.
