Built for your venue
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.
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.
The operational problem
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.
What changes
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.

Can I mark an item sold out?
Yes. Update daily stock or item availability from the restaurant dashboard.
Can customers preorder a pickup slot?
Yes. Direct pickup can use configured hours, lead times, scheduled slots, and capacity.
Do I need kitchen hardware?
No proprietary MenuBeacon hardware is required. Use a compatible browser device; optional printing needs a configured printer.
