Digital menu for food trucks

A food truck digital menu is a menu page behind a link and a QR sticker that you update from your phone between services. Tablemenu.Link makes one for free: post the link with today's location, stick the code by the hatch, and mark dishes sold out the moment they run out.

Why use a digital menu on a food truck?

Your menu, pitch and stock change daily, and a printed board can't keep up. A digital menu lets you change dishes and prices from your phone, show what has sold out, and share one link on Instagram and event pages so people know what you're serving before they walk over.

Can I update the menu from my phone?

Yes. The editor works in your phone's browser, so you can add a special, change a price or mark a dish sold out between orders, with no laptop and no app. Save, and everyone who scans the code or opens the link sees the change straight away.

Where should the QR code go on a truck?

At eye level beside the serving hatch, and larger on a board where the queue forms, so people read the menu while they wait. Print it as a weatherproof, matte sticker, at least 10 cm wide for the queue board, and keep the area around the code free of graphics.

  • Beside the hatch: 5 cm or more, at eye level.
  • On the queue board or A-frame: 10 cm or more, readable from a metre or two away.
  • On napkins, bags and flyers: so customers find you next time.

Sizes follow the rule of thumb in our QR code menu guide.

Will the menu load at busy events with weak signal?

It is built for that. The menu is a light page, mostly text, with no app or large file to download first, so dishes start appearing quickly even on a slow mobile connection. Photos are optional; leave them out if you often trade where signal is poor.

Do I still need a printed menu board?

A short board still helps: it catches people walking past and works when phones die. Keep your best sellers and prices on the board, and let the QR menu carry everything else: the full list, descriptions, dietary labels and what has sold out. Each covers what the other can't.

How do I set up a food truck menu?

Start from the food truck template, replace the dishes and prices with yours, add your logo and colour, and publish. Print a weatherproof sticker for the truck, then post the link with your location wherever you announce where you'll be parked.

  1. Open the template

    The food truck template is a short menu built for a hatch.

  2. Make it yours

    Your dishes, prices, logo and colour. Keep it short: fewer choices move the queue.

  3. Publish and print

    Download the SVG and print a weatherproof sticker.

  4. Share it daily

    Post the link with today's location on Instagram, WhatsApp and event pages.

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Email hello@tablemenu.link and a person will reply.

Can I edit the menu from my phone?

Yes. The editor works in a mobile browser, so you can change items, prices and sold-out dishes from the truck.

Can I run different menus for different events?

Yes. Create a separate menu for each event or concept, or keep one menu and update it before each service. Menus are free either way.

Does the menu work with weak signal?

The menu page is light and mostly text, so it loads quickly even on a slow mobile connection.

Do I need a new QR code when I move pitch?

No. The code opens the same menu link wherever you park. Post today's location alongside the link, and update your hours if they change.

Can customers pre-order from the menu?

No, the menu is view-only, with no pre-ordering or online payments. Guests check what is available on their phone and order at the hatch.

Put your menu online before your next service

It takes about ten minutes and costs nothing. You get a link and a QR code the moment you publish.
