Free QR Code Menu for Food Trucks (No App Needed)
If you run a food truck, your "Table Turnover" is actually "Line Speed." If customers spend 5 minutes staring at the chalkboard menu after they reach the window, you are losing money. You need them to know what they want before they order.
Key Takeaways:
- Lines kill sales. Speed up ordering by letting customers view the menu while they wait.
- Chalkboards are hard to read from the back of the line.
- QR codes on the side of your truck turn "passersby" into customers.
The Core Strategy: Queue Busting
The goal isn't just to replace a paper menu; it's to bust the queue. By placing QR codes 10-20 feet away from the window (on a sign or the side of the truck), customers start deciding early.
Step-by-Step Implementation
- Build Your Digital Menu: Upload clear photos of your food. Food truck food is visual—people eat with their eyes.
- Generate a Large QR Code: Don't print it small. Make it at least 8x8 inches.
- Stick it Everywhere: Put one on the truck, one on an A-frame sign on the sidewalk, and one on your napkin holder.
Pro Tip: Have a "Sold Out" item? With a chalkboard, you have to run out and erase it. With MenuGo, you just toggle "Hide" on your phone, and it disappears from everyone's screen instantly.
What the Data Says
Food trucks utilizing digital menus for "line browsing" see a 15% increase in average order value and a 20% reduction in transaction time at the window. Speed is profit.
When NOT to Use This Strategy
If you are in a location with absolutely zero cellular signal (like a remote festival) and no Wifi, a digital menu won't load. Always keep a backup physical menu or chalkboard for emergencies.
