The QR Code: The Magic to Double Your Orders

Can a tiny black-and-white square really transform your food truck business? Yes—and it’s not magic, it’s smart tech. Let’s break down the power of the QR code.

The QR code comeback

Invented in the 90s for the auto industry, QR codes boomed during the pandemic. Today, 85% of smartphones can scan them directly from the camera—no app needed.

"Before, customers queued at the counter. Now, they scan, order from their table, and pick up when it’s ready. My capacity has doubled." – Mathieu, “La Cuisine Roulante”

Why QR codes work

1. No more bottlenecks

With self-service ordering, your counter is no longer a choke point. Each customer becomes their own cashier.

2. Fewer mistakes

Customers select exactly what they want—errors drop by up to 90%.

3. Valuable data

Learn what sells best, when rush happens, and what combos are popular. Make smart, data-driven decisions.

Make the most of your QR code

1. Multiply touchpoints

Print it on flyers, napkins, packaging, signs—anywhere customers might see it.

2. Push pre-orders

Let people order before they arrive. Offer perks for lunchtime pre-orders—it’ll change your prep game.

3. Keep it smooth

Your menu should be easy to navigate, visually appealing, and quick to order/pay.
