GetFoodTruckPOS vs SpotOn: which fits your truck?

Pick SpotOn if you want a hands-on sales and setup team, bundled processing and restaurant features like loyalty and marketing in one quoted package. Pick GetFoodTruckPOS if you want self-serve signup, published pricing, your own processor with 0% taken by the POS, month to month terms and an auto online store with today's spot posts.

SpotOn quotes many of its plans per merchant, so the price depends on your setup, hardware and processing deal. Our dated table shows figures that were public or widely reported at the time we checked. Ask SpotOn for a written quote with every fee. GetFoodTruckPOS publishes its prices for each market on /pricing/.

Yes. SpotOn markets to restaurants including quick service and mobile operators, and its handheld devices suit a window. Many trucks use it happily. GetFoodTruckPOS is built only for trucks, carts and pop-ups, so the screen leads with the quick menu, today's spot and the close-out report rather than full restaurant features you may not use.

SpotOn generally bundles its own payment processing with its POS, quoted per merchant, so check their current terms if you want to keep a separate processor. GetFoodTruckPOS does not process cards, takes 0% of card sales, and works with the processor and reader you already use or choose.

SpotOn publicly mentions an offline mode for taking orders and payments when internet drops, with limits, so check their current docs for the details. GetFoodTruckPOS does not have an offline mode and needs a data connection. We recommend a hotspot, a second SIM on another carrier, testing signal at new spots, and taking cash if signal dies.

Setup and installation fees have been reported on some paid SpotOn plans, depending on the deal and hardware. Ask for a written quote. GetFoodTruckPOS is self-serve with no setup fee on the POS plans: sign up, add your truck and menu, and start a 30-day free trial with no card. The managed website has its own setup fee, shown on /pricing/.

SpotOn focuses on the US market, and at the time we checked it was not offered in the UAE or Pakistan, so check their current site. GetFoodTruckPOS serves the USA, the UAE and Pakistan with local currency, tax setup, payment methods and Arabic, Urdu and Spanish screens.

SpotOn has a well-known loyalty and marketing suite, which is a real strength if repeat customers drive your business. GetFoodTruckPOS includes reward points, a customer list, customer groups and group prices on the Truck plan and up. For automated review requests and SMS follow-up, our Full Rig bundle adds a marketing automation snapshot.

Check your SpotOn agreement for the term, notice and any hardware or early termination fees. Export your menu and customers, download your sales reports, then import into GetFoodTruckPOS and connect your own processor. Run the trial in parallel for a few services before you cancel. Full steps are on /switch/.
