Events and rental: Digital job cards for food truck operators
Digital job cards for food truck operators that put the event card with serving times, menu, quantities and venue details in the crew's hands and record how the event went.
What a job card for food truck operators should hold.
On the day itself a food truck crew often works from a message sent by the owner and a few notes. What time the first guests eat, where the power box is, who the venue contact is and how many vegetarian portions are needed all have to be found somewhere in a chat. A casual worker does not know that a gluten-free option must be kept aside. Afterwards there is no record of how many portions were actually served, how long the truck stood there or whether the power failed. Those are exactly the details you need for the invoice and for the next event with the same client.

Prepare the event card
Each event has a card with address, route in, departure time, setup time, serving times, the on-site contact, the location of the power connection, the menu with quantities and dietary needs. A casual worker sees everything they need to know without phoning the owner.
Log service and deviations
During the event the crew records how many portions of each dish went out, or the till does if it tracks that. Deviations such as a power cut, a late start or more guests than agreed are logged with a short note and time. You know afterwards what happened and when.
Close out and hand over
After service the crew ticks that the pitch was left clean and records the actual finish time. If the venue contact is present, they can sign. The owner immediately sees how much was served, how long the truck stood and whether there is extra work to charge.
No more paper and loose photos.
Information now sits in a calendar, a chat with the client and sometimes a printed sheet in the truck. The job card pulls together the approved quote, venue details from the enquiry and the schedule. If your till records portions per dish, that count can be taken over. You remain the owner of the menu and of decisions on deviations; the venue sets the rules on site. Everything the crew records belongs to the event.
Count portions on the till or by hand
A till that records per dish gives an accurate count with no extra effort. At private parties where nobody pays there is often no till running, so the crew has to count, for example per tray or batch. The job card handles both, as long as it is clear which count applies for the invoice.
Report overruns at once or afterwards
A client who asks whether the truck can stay another hour usually wants an answer on the spot. The crew can agree if you have set in advance how long and at what rate. Otherwise they call you. Either way, the overrun must reach the job card with a time.
Client signs or note only
A client signature confirms numbers and finish time, but at a party the client is often busy or already gone. A timed note and perhaps a photo of the cleared pitch is then the minimum. At company events there is often a contact person who can sign on the client's behalf.

Read the storyWhat goes on the job card.
The event card is ready with all venue and menu details, logging portions and deviations, and a close-out step with finish time and optional signature. We walk through an ordinary company lunch together, and a wedding where the power fails and the client asks the truck to stay longer. Importing till counts and the numbers from the day going straight onto the invoice can be switched on once the crew is used to the card.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsDoes the job card work without signal on a festival site?
Yes. The event card is stored on the device in advance. Counts and notes are saved locally and sent once signal returns. On busy festival sites with an overloaded network, the crew never has to wait to log what they did.
Can casual staff use the job card without seeing prices?
Yes. Casual staff see the event card with practical information and can enter counts and notes. Prices, client details they do not need and other events stay hidden. A new worker gets what they need without asking around in group chats.
How do we know how many portions were really served?
From the till count if your till records per dish, or from the crew's tally. At private parties with a fixed price per guest, that count is mainly useful for purchasing at the next event of a similar size.
Can the job card show dietary needs?
Yes. Dietary needs from the enquiry or customer portal appear on the event card with numbers per option. The crew knows how many vegetarian or gluten-free portions to keep aside, and nobody has to ask in the middle of service.
