A POS that runs on a tablet, a laptop, or a Raspberry Pi. Works offline when the parking-lot WiFi gives up. Cancel any month — perfect for seasonal trucks.
The truck moves. The signal doesn't always follow. ChowHub runs locally — take orders and process cash whether you have bars or not.
A $75 Raspberry Pi runs the whole stack. Mount it once, drive forever. No expensive POS terminal to replace if it bounces around.
Off-season? Cancel for the winter. Sign back up in April. Month-to-month means you only pay when you're rolling.
Pair a Stripe Terminal or Square Reader for tap-to-pay. Real card-present rates. Tips go right into your bank.
Got a 30-item menu? Load it in one shot from a spreadsheet. Update prices the same way before festival weekends.
Take orders, send to the line, take payment, and clear the ticket all on one tablet. The whole truck workflow is one app.
Total hardware: usually under $200. Software: $29/mo, or $0 if you start on the Free tier.
