You can create your account from any phone, tablet or laptop in about ten minutes. There is nothing to install: GetFoodTruckPOS runs in the browser, and there is a mobile app if you prefer one. Your free trial starts the moment you sign up, and we do not ask for a card to start it. Trial length is on the pricing page.
Before you start
- An email address you check daily. Login links, receipts you send to yourself and password resets go here.
- Your business name as you want it on receipts and on the online store. You can change it later, but customers see it first.
- Your country: USA, UAE or Pakistan. This sets the default currency, date format and the tax options you see later.
- A data connection. The setup screens, like ringing sales, need signal or Wi-Fi.
- Optional: your logo as a square image. A phone photo of your truck sticker works fine for now.
Steps
- Go to the GetFoodTruckPOS home page and tap Start free trial.
- Enter your name, email and a password. Use at least ten characters and avoid the password you use for your processor or bank.
- Pick your Country. Choose the country where the truck trades, not where you happen to be sitting. A Dubai truck owned from abroad should still pick UAE.
- Enter your Business name. If you run several trucks under one brand, use the brand name here. Each truck gets its own name in the next guide.
- Choose your Time zone if it is not filled in for you. Daily reports close at midnight in this time zone, so a wrong value splits Friday night sales across two days.
- Tap Create account. Check your inbox for the verification email and tap the link inside it. If you are on a phone, open the link in the same browser you signed up in.
- On first login you land on the Dashboard. Open Settings > Business settings and upload your logo, then confirm the currency symbol and date format look right.
- Open Settings > Business settings > Receipt and add a short footer line, for example your Instagram handle or “Find today’s spot on our online store.”
- Save. Your account is ready for the next step: adding your truck and its register.
Check it worked
- You can log out, log back in with your email and password, and land on the Dashboard.
- The top of the Dashboard shows your business name and logo.
- Prices you type in later display with your country’s currency, for example $, AED or Rs.
- Your trial end date shows under Settings > Subscription. Nothing is charged, because there is no card on file.
Common problems
The verification email never arrived
Check spam, promotions and any “updates” folder first. If it is not there after five minutes, tap Resend verification on the login screen. Company email filters sometimes hold new senders, so a personal inbox can be quicker. If it still does not arrive, use the form on our contact page and we will verify you by hand.
I picked the wrong country
Currency and tax defaults follow the country you chose. If you have not rung any sales yet, contact support and we will switch it for you. If you have rung real sales, tell us that too, because changing currency after sales exist needs care so your reports stay correct.
The page keeps loading or shows an error
Setup needs a working connection. On a truck parked behind a building, try moving to the window side or switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data. A pocket hotspot on a different carrier than your phone is a good backup for this and for service days.
Two people want to log in
Do not share the owner login. Finish setup, then add staff under Users with their own PIN and role. That way sales by staff stay accurate and you can remove someone without changing your own password.
I want to try it without my real menu
That is fine. Add two or three test items, ring a test sale, then delete them before your first real service. Test sales can be voided so they do not land in your reports.
