Food trucks and pop-ups

Food-truck QR ordering without another customer app

A single visible QR can help customers open a small menu and submit supported requests, while the operator controls preparation and collection.

Quick answer: A food-truck QR menu can reduce dependence on a printed board by putting the current selection on customers’ phones. Orders can be direct when the merchant has enabled the appropriate channel.

Design for a short queue and limited space

  • Keep the initial menu compact and readable on smaller phones.
  • Print the menu QR near the ordering point and show the stall name clearly.
  • Publish accurate item availability before busy periods.
  • Make pickup instructions obvious and provide a manual fallback.

Keep fulfilment merchant-run

JanOrder does not provide a rider fleet, event logistics or built-in marketplace demand. The truck owns its pricing, handover process and any pickup communication.

Questions people ask

Do customers need to download an app?

No. A participating business can share a QR code or link that opens the menu in a mobile web browser.

Does JanOrder charge merchants a percentage commission?

JanOrder positions its own platform commission for supported direct orders at 0%. Payment providers, delivery partners and other third parties may charge separately.
