For food trucks & street food

Food truck menusreadable from the queue.

PlatterTap gives food trucks and street food stalls a free menu link and QR code. Put the code on the truck, and people in the queue read the menu on their phone — big type, clear prices, updated the moment you change something. The link stays the same wherever you park.

Why does a food truck need a QR code menu?

The board above the hatch is hard to read from the back of the queue. A QR code on the truck puts the full menu in everyone’s hand while they wait, with descriptions and prices, so people can have their order ready by the time they reach the hatch.

How do I tell customers where the truck is today?

Use your menu’s intro text and opening hours, which you can edit from your phone — for example “Today: Market Square, 11:00–15:00”. There’s no live map, but the text updates as soon as you save, and the link in your Instagram bio always shows the latest version.

Which menu template works for street food?

Street: bold colours, chunky type and big prices, made for burgers, pizza, tacos and anything served through a hatch. It stays readable at a glance on a phone held at arm’s length in bright daylight.

Can I change the menu during service?

Yes. Hide a dish or change a price from your phone between orders; the next person who scans sees the update. Nothing is deleted, so switching the dish back on tomorrow takes one tap.

Can I use one menu for festivals and events?

Yes. Keep a separate “Event menu” section and switch it on for the day — guests only see visible sections. Print the QR code on a sign or banner once; it keeps working at every event because the link never changes.

How big should the QR code be on a food truck?

Big enough to scan from a few steps away. On the side of a truck that usually means a code about the size of a sheet of paper, printed in high contrast. Give sign makers the SVG file — it stays sharp at any size — and test it from the back of the queue.

Frequently asked questions.

Q.01

Can customers order through the QR code?

No. PlatterTap shows your menu; orders and payments stay at the hatch the way you run them today.

Q.02

Does the menu load on a weak mobile connection?

The menu is a lightweight web page without an app to download, so it opens quickly even on patchy mobile data.

Q.03

Can I use it for a market stall or pop-up?

Yes. Any venue type works — pick “food truck” or “other” when you sign up and adjust the intro text to your setup.
