FAQs
A food truck POS system is a POS that can be used in food trucks. Square combines POS software and hardware for a POS that’s as portable as your food truck. Square Point of Sale (POS) is cloud-based, which means you can use it wherever you go from your iPad, your phone or your Square hardware. It helps you take orders from customers, and since our systems are fully integrated, you can also take payments through the same POS system.
One of the key benefits of Square POS is that we are fully customisable to suit any type of food truck. From selling tacos to burgers, churros to doughnuts, ice cream to bao, you can set up your items with as much flexibility as you need.
Square POS does more than take payments. Enable a loyalty program for customers, use inventory management and create and send invoices too.
