What to point the code at
Any address that shows your menu: a page on your site, a post, a file you have put online. Paste it in above and the code is ready.
If your menu is a photo on your phone or a board on the side of the truck, you do not have an address yet. Build the menu here and you get one, with ordering built in. A free account can also hold a PDF menu and give you a code for it.
Where it goes on the truck
One code can go in several places. Put it where people are standing still.
- Beside the window, at eye level for the person ordering
- On a sandwich board a few steps back, so the queue can read while it waits
- On the side that faces passing traffic, for people deciding whether to stop
- In your Instagram bio and event listings, where the same address works as a link
How big to print it
A code should be at least a tenth as wide as the distance it is scanned from. For someone at the window, half a metre away, 5 cm is enough. For the queue, two metres back, print it 20 cm across. For a sign people read from across a car park, go bigger than feels reasonable.
Keep it dark on a light background, leave the white margin around it, and put it on a flat panel: a code wrapped over a curve or a rivet line is hard to read. Download the SVG for anything a print shop will enlarge.
When the menu changes
A static code is fixed to one address. That is fine as long as the address stays put and you change the menu behind it.
If the menu might move to a new address, use a dynamic code. It is free with an account, and you can re-point it from your phone without reprinting anything.
Let the queue order while it waits
A menu built here is one people can order from. They pick what they want, see one total with tax, and pay you in Cash App, Venmo, PayPal or Zelle with the amount already filled in. You see the payment land, confirm it with a tap, and call the order number.
The money goes straight to you. We take no fee on those payments, and there is no card reader to buy.
