Your whole till fits in one hand

Sometimes there is room for a tablet on a stand, sometimes it all runs on the phone in your pocket. You decide how much hardware goes along in the truck.

Card payment on the same device

With Tap to Pay your customer holds their card or phone against the device you have just rung the order in on. No separate card reader to end up on the hotplate.

Works on 4G and 5G

On a festival site with no wifi you carry on over mobile data. Your till is not tied to a location, it goes wherever your truck goes.

Nothing to plug in

No cables, no cash drawer, nothing to pack away at night. A receipt printer can come along, but it does not have to.

Self-ordering

Guests order for themselves, you keep cooking

While you cook, guests tap their own order into a screen beside the truck. The orders arrive on the tablet standing next to you.

Ordering and paying without you in between

Guests choose for themselves and pay on the screen. You keep your hands free and have nothing to retype.

Everything arrives in order

In the truck you see what is outstanding and in which order, so you know which batch has to go out first.

Fewer misunderstandings passing orders on

What the guest tapped in is exactly what is on the screen. No shouting across the counter on a busy site.

What makes a POS system for a food truck genuinely good?

A food truck has its own logic. Sometimes there is room for a tablet on a stand and a receipt printer, sometimes it all runs on one phone in your hand. 20Tabs adapts to what you want: you decide how much hardware you take along and how much room your till takes up. If you want guests to order for themselves, a self-service kiosk can make the queue at your truck considerably shorter, and guests pay there directly with Tap to Pay.

Because you are somewhere different every time, your till must not be tied to anything. 20Tabs works over the internet, and it does not matter which connection that is: on a festival site with no wifi you carry on over 4G or 5G. Payment can be in cash or through Tap to Pay on your phone, so you do not need a separate card reader, though you can have one if you prefer. Receipts can go out digitally, by email for instance.

Inside the truck what counts is the overview. What has been ordered appears on the screen next to you, in the order it came in and with the chosen options underneath. With twenty people queuing that is the difference between working on and asking every time who had what.

At the end of a day or a festival you want to know whether it was worth it. A quick report shows straight away what you sold, so next year you decide more easily whether to do that festival again. And you start from €25 a month, with everything unlimited and cancellable monthly, with no yearly contract running on.
