A portable menu and pickup queue for food trucks

Put the live menu on the truck, social profile, or signage; mark items sold out; take direct pickup orders; and run the preparation queue from a browser.

Menu, QR codes, ordering, and the kitchen board are available on Free. MenuBeacon does not provide truck GPS tracking, geofencing, or automated location publishing.

MenuBeacon for Food Trucks
A connected restaurant workflow Menu, order, operation, and guest status stay in context.

Illustrative workflow · Product behaviour described on this page

Fast sold-out updates

Change daily stock or availability as ingredients run down.

Pickup hours and slots

Offer configured pickup times, lead times, and capacity.

Browser operations

Use the menu and kitchen workflow on compatible devices you already have.

A mobile kitchen needs a menu that changes where the truck goes

The QR and direct menu stay usable when items, prices, or availability change. The operator controls service hours and pickup capacity for the day.

A lightweight ordering stack on existing devices

Use a phone, tablet, or computer browser for the menu editor and kitchen view rather than installing dedicated proprietary hardware.
