While most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/blog\/food-entrepreneurship\/how-to-start-your-own-food-truck\/\">food truck owners<\/a> will tell you a POS system is essential, it can be difficult to determine which one is best for you and your business\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve rounded up some of the most useful POS systems for food trucks and included helpful details about each.

The best POS systems for food trucks are those with reliable hardware, restaurant-specific features, mobile compatibility, and more, at a reasonable price point. Here are five of the most popular food truck POS systems to consider:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Square: The User-Friendly POS<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/squareup.com\/us\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Square<\/a> is a general POS system that includes features such as the ability to process credit cards, track inventory, and create invoices. While it\u2019s not designed for food-based businesses, its $0 fee and well-rounded basic features can make it an attractive choice for new food truck owners or those looking for an inexpensive option. Square offers Restaurant POS apps, mobile POS, kitchen display systems, kiosks, reporting analytics, and more. These features may be offered for an additional fee, though most are included with their premium plan.<\/p>\n<p>Square\u2019s app integrates with both Android and Apple devices, allowing you and your employees to turn any phone into a piece of sales hardware. The company also offers various forms of portable hardware, which means customers can easily order as they\u2019re standing outside your truck.<\/p>\n<p>Square also integrates with third-party delivery platforms including DoorDash and Postmates, so you can offer delivery service. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/blog\/food-entrepreneurship\/the-pros-and-cons-of-becoming-an-uber-eats-restaurant-partner\/\">UberEats<\/a> and Grubhub don\u2019t have a direct link with Square, Square\u2019s partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/chowly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chowly<\/a> allows food truck owners to integrate these orders into their POS system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Android and iOS compatibility<\/li>\n<li>Compact Square terminal can save food truck operators valuable space<\/li>\n<li>Option to pay for hardware in installment<\/li>\n<li>Offline functionality<\/li>\n<li>QR code ordering compatibility<\/li>\n<li>No long-term contract, cancel any time without termination fees<\/li>\n<li>Use Square Online to build a website and take orders<\/li>\n<li>Basic reporting and management tools<\/li>\n<li>Tipping support<\/li>\n<li>Restaurant capabilities continue to expand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some food truck operators may need to use third-party integrations for additional features<\/li>\n<li>Lack of 24\/7 customer support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Expenses:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Monthly Fee<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">$0 for Free, $69 for Plus, $165 for Restaurant Premium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Processing Fee<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">2.6% + $0.10 per in-person transaction<br \/>\n2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">Hardware Costs<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li>$0 for Square magstripe-only card reader + $10 per each additional reader<\/li>\n<li>$59 for Square Reader contactless and chip card reader<\/li>\n<li>$149 for iPad POS or mount<\/li>\n<li>$299 for Square Terminal mobile card reader with built-in printer<\/li>\n<li>$799 for Square Register with two-screen functionality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. Toast: The POS for Order Versatility<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pos.toasttab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toast<\/a> was designed for restaurants, so it offers numerous features that fit well with food trucks. The basic plan includes the ability to design and share digital menus, run sales reports, and operate simple payment processing.<\/p>\n<p>Toast also offers add-on features including a customer loyalty program, email marketing, and online ordering. You can pick and choose from these features, which means you can meet your business\u2019s needs while only paying for what you\u2019ll use.<\/p>\n<p>If you operate multiple food trucks, Toast is an option worth exploring. It allows you to view sales, inventory, and other details across multiple locations from a single dashboard. That means you can monitor when you need to run supplies from one truck to the next, as well as better determine where to send an employee who is coming in for a shift later that day. Note, however, that Toast POS may require a two-year contract, which could be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\/reviews\/small-business\/toast-pos-review#:~:text=industry%2Dspecific%20features.-,Cons,-Requires%20a%20two\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subject to early termination fees<\/a>.

TouchBistro: The POS for Data Collection and Marketing<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchbistro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TouchBistro<\/a> is another POS system designed specifically for food businesses like restaurants and food trucks. As such, it contains thoughtful features that can help address common industry pain points and increase sales. For example, you can easily design menus ahead of time and update them in real-time. That means you and your staff can focus on cooking food during a dinner rush, yet easily stop for a few minutes to remove items that sell out.<\/p>\n<p>When the day is over, you can view sales reports that provide information about which dishes performed best at each location and which items were popular at which times. You can access these reports remotely and also share them with employees via email.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use this data to help create promotions that appeal to core customers. Once you\u2019ve figured out what type of sale or special you\u2019d like to run, you can send them out with TouchBistro\u2019s integrated marketing platform.<\/p>\n<p>TouchBistro operates via an iPad, but you can also add on additional hardware to fit your needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to add integrations and extra features as your food truck grows<\/li>\n<li>Offline capabilities<\/li>\n<li>Customers who bank with Chase can access funds within the next business day<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 customer support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No free plan<\/li>\n<li>Extra fee to accept online orders<\/li>\n<li>Requires a contract that automatically renews, with termination fees and\/or difficulty cancelling plans<\/li>\n<li>Lack of full pricing transparency in processing fees and hardware costs (quote-based)<\/li>\n<li>Customers who don\u2019t have a Chase bank account may see delays between one to four business days before receiving funds, which may present a significant challenge for newer food trucks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monthly Fee<\/td>\n<td>$69 for Base Plan, with extra monthly fees for the following features: $25 for gift cards, $50 for online ordering, $99 for marketing or loyalty, $229 for reservation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Processing Fee<\/td>\n<td>Offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.touchbistro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/payment-processing-fees-cheat-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">variety of fee structures<\/a>, including flat fee, interchange differential, and flat tiered<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hardware Costs<\/td>\n<td>Hardware costs are undisclosed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_24809\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24809\" class=\"wp-image-24809 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Food-Truck-Employee-hands-out-a-burger-to-a-happy-customer-in-a-suit-768.jpeg\" alt=\"Two food truck customers smiling as a food truck employee hands them their order.\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Food-Truck-Employee-hands-out-a-burger-to-a-happy-customer-in-a-suit-768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.escoffier.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Food-Truck-Employee-hands-out-a-burger-to-a-happy-customer-in-a-suit-768-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The right POS system for your food truck can make ordering and inventory management a breeze.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>4.
