$1,200/year + more revenue

Frequently Asked Questions

How does offline mode work?

Turn on offline mode before going to location with poor signal. Customers still scan QR and pay (their phones have data). Transactions store locally on your device. When you get back to wifi, everything syncs automatically to your dashboard. You never miss a sale due to bad cell service.

Do I need to buy card readers or special hardware?

No! Just use your existing phone or tablet. Display QR code on screen or print a laminated QR tent card. Customers scan with their phones to pay. No Square readers ($49-79), no battery charging, no Bluetooth pairing. Way simpler.

What if customers don't have crypto?

They pay with regular credit card or Apple Pay through QR code. Our onramp handles it instantly. 99% of your customers will never know crypto is involved. They just see a normal payment screen. You get the low fees of crypto.

Can I track which locations make the most money?

Yes! Tag each transaction with location. Dashboard shows: Monday at Business Park = $520, Tuesday at University = $680, etc. Use this data to plan your weekly route. Focus on highest-revenue spots. Optimize for weather and events.

How fast is checkout during lunch rush?

About 10 seconds total. Customer scans QR while you're making their order. They select item, pay, done. No fumbling with cards, no PIN entry, no receipt printing. Faster than Square or traditional terminals. Serve more customers per hour.

What Food Trucks Are Saying
