For food trucks
A truck has no tables. It has a queue.
Everything written about the code on the table is no help to you, because you have no tables. You have a hatch, a queue in front of it, and twenty minutes of peak in which the day is decided. This page is about that part.
The code goes on the hatch, not on a table
Stick it where people end up: on the counter, on the side of the truck, on the board with the prices. They scan it while queuing, look at the menu for as long as they need, and send the order from there. Nothing to install. At a festival with two windows, put the same code at both.
The order number and how long it will be
After sending, they get a short number and an estimate along the lines of "ready in about 8 minutes". The numbers start again at one each morning, so you are not shouting "four hundred and seventy-three" at two in the afternoon. The estimate refreshes as you go. It does not count down and it does not promise a second, because you cannot either.
- They step away from the hatch and come back when it is ready. The queue thins out on its own.
- You mark the order ready and they see it on their phone.
- When something runs out, mark it unavailable and it disappears for everyone who scans after that.
- If you have a grill separate from the counter, each sees only its own items.
What happens with the money
What happens now. Whoever wants to pays online from their phone with their own card. Whoever turns up with cash, or wants to hand you a card, pays at the hatch as always, and we take nothing from those. The receipt still comes from your own till. We are not a fiscal device and we do not enter your fiscal chain.
Summer at the coast, winter in town
You change the menu from your phone between two orders and it shows immediately. The festival price can differ from the street price, because each site has its own plan and is billed separately. If the truck stands still for three months, you switch the subscription off in the dashboard the day you close. You do not sign anything for a year.
What it does not fix
The queue does not disappear. One grill and thirty people is still thirty people; they are just sitting on the grass with a phone instead of crowding the window. What does disappear is the rest: you stop holding in your head who ordered what, you stop writing on a docket that gets wet, and you stop shouting over the music.
Klevra does not deliver to people’s homes and does not stand in for a delivery platform. If part of what you sell goes out to houses, you need something else for that part. This is only about the orders you take yourself, at the hatch.
