Queues are lost sales
The four ways the queue eats your day.
Every queue is somebody walking away. Every minute on a payment is a minute not making food. Every staff member calling out orders is one not serving them.
Customers queue
Long lines, short tempers. The hungriest customer is the one most likely to leave.
Staff take orders
Every hand is needed at the window — taking orders, taking payments, and making food. Three jobs, often the same person.
Payments slow it down
Cash, change, card declines, signal drops. Every transaction adds thirty seconds to the queue behind it.
People quit ordering
They see the line. They check the time. They walk to the next truck — or skip lunch.
What this means for you
Sales become limited by how fast you can take orders.
Every minute at the window is a minute not spent cooking. When the ordering stops being the bottleneck, the numbers move.
Indicative figures from food businesses moving to pre-paid digital ordering. Your numbers will depend on your pitch, your menu and how you market the change.
- +30% more orders
- When customers do not have to queue, more of them buy
- +25% higher order value
- Customers order more when they are not under pressure at the window
- +40% more repeat customers
- Your customer list builds itself, so you can re-engage between pitches
- 50% less time on payments
- Staff focused on cooking, not counting change or chasing cards
QR ordering · at the window · at the table
Three ways to take an order.
None of them is a queue.
One platform turns any QR code into a working order page. Stick one on the window, on the picnic bench, in your Instagram bio. Wherever the customer is — standing, sitting, scrolling — they tap, they pay, they collect.
On-premises — QR on the window.
A customer walks up, sees the queue, and scans instead. Orders from where they are standing, steps aside, hears their name, collects. For the lunch rush and the festival queue.
Table service — QR on the table.
A picnic bench at a festival. A table at a wedding. A pod at the beer garden. They scan, order and stay seated — you bring the food or call them up. For events and anywhere people sit.
Pre-order — ahead of time.
QR in your Instagram bio. An SMS to regulars. A poster at the office park. They order the night before or on the way over, and you pull in with the orders already paid.
How it works
Customer orders on their phone.
It lands in your dashboard.
All three ordering modes feed the same dashboard, the same handheld, and the same customer list growing quietly in the background.

The Tenvito order button
Drop the button.
Take the orders.
One button. Any website. Orders in.
Hot food. Fast. Pre-paid. At the office park Mon–Fri. Festivals on the weekend. Order ahead, walk up, collect.
Same button works on Instagram, in a QR code on the window, in an SMS to your regulars.
One link, every pitch
The truck moves.
The link moves with it.
Office park on Tuesday. Festival on Saturday. Wedding on Sunday. Same order page, same dashboard. Wherever the truck lands, customers already know how to order.
Each event can have its own order window, menu and slot caps. A wedding gets one set of slots, a festival pitch gets another — all under one dashboard.
Cap each item by quantity. Cap each 15-minute slot. Auto-close when sold out, and the system tells customers up front rather than after they have paid.
- Put it
- Website, Instagram bio, WhatsApp, SMS, QR codes
- Per event
- Its own menu, order window and slot caps
Every pitch, every peak
From lunch rush to festival weekend.
Pre-counted.
Set your quantities. Cap each slot. Open the pre-order window before the gate opens. Sell only what you can make — and never run out at the wrong moment. When the truck pulls in, the day is already planned. Cook to a plan, not a panic.
Lunch rush
Office parks, weekday pitches. 200 hungry people in 90 minutes — already in the system.
Festival circuit
Open pre-orders before the gate. Cap each slot. No queue, no rain-off panic.
Match days
Cup finals, race meets, GAA fixtures. Fifteen minutes between sets — orders already paid.
Weddings & events
Pre-booked. Pre-paid. Pre-printed. You arrive, you cook, you serve. The platform does the rest.
Mobile POS for a mobile business
One screen. Every pitch.
Wherever the truck lands.
The smart handheld is built for the back of a truck. Pre-orders from your Instagram bio, QR scans at the window, table orders from the picnic bench — they all land here. Mark them ready, hand them out the window. No counter, no queue, no paperwork.
Works on 4G or the festival’s wifi. Charges in your van. Survives the rain.

Automated print
Every order.
Stickered and ready.
When the order lands, the ticket prints — name, items, pickup time, PAID stamp. It goes on the bag, the box or the pizza paddle. The customer walks up and you hand them the bag with their name on it.
No more “ORDER 47!” shouted across the counter. No mix-ups, and no staff member calling out names while another tries to cook.
Works with any compatible thermal printer. Plug in, pair, print — or print direct from the smart handheld, one less box in the truck.
- On the sticker
- Name, items, pickup time, PAID
- Hardware
- Any compatible thermal printer, or the handheld
When everything else stops
Card machine down?
Tenvito’s still up.
Card terminals fail. Signal drops. Receipt rolls run out. Every food truck has stood at the window with a dead machine and a queue full of cash-free customers.
Tenvito runs on your customer’s phone. If your terminal goes down mid-service, they scan the QR on the window and pay on their own device. The orders keep coming, the money keeps moving, and service does not stop because one box stopped working.
A POS that is a payment terminal stops working when the terminal stops working. Tenvito is the backup that is always already there.
Why food truck operators choose Tenvito
Pre-paid in. Demand managed.
Admin gone.
Pre-paid only — pre-orders before service.
Money in before the truck pulls in. No no-shows. No counting cash at the end of the night.
Stock control — set quantities. Kill disappointment.
Sell only what you can make. Auto-close when you are sold out. Customers know up front — no one leaves frustrated.
Waste — zero waste, every pitch.
Pre-orders mean you cook only what is already paid for. Nothing left over. Nothing in the bin.
Cash-free — no cash on the day.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Every order pre-paid. The till stays closed and the staff serve food.
Mobility — one link, every pitch.
Same order page wherever the truck lands. Festival, office park, wedding — same dashboard, same workflow.
Service day — forget the admin.
Pre-booked. Pre-paid. Pre-printed. You arrive, you cook, you hand it over. The platform handles the rest.
Step by step. Never on your own.
Your menu live.
Your pitch booked.
- Add your menu — items, prices, options. Photos if you’ve got them. Cosmo’s there if you need a hand.
- Set your pitch & slots — service window, location, quantity caps. Cap each 15-minute slot so you cook to a plan.
- Share the link — Instagram bio. QR on the window. SMS to regulars. The orders start coming in.
Built-in marketing
Every order builds your customer list.
Every customer who orders becomes part of your list — automatically. No spreadsheets. No data entry. A growing, verified customer base that you own.
Send the next pitch location to regulars. Open festival pre-orders to the people who already love you. Fill a slow Tuesday lunch with one message. Cosmo’s on every page, in any language, to help you do it.
- "We're at Marlay Park tomorrow"
- SMS your customer list when the truck moves. The regulars find you wherever you go.
- "Electric Picnic pre-orders open"
- Open festival pre-orders before the gates do. Cap each slot. Sell out before the weekend.
- "€2 off if you order before 11am"
- Fill the quiet days. Spread the lunch rush. Get orders in before the queue forms.
In the wild
From long queues to no queues.
The problem. Caitlin Ruth Food was running pop-ups and food truck events with huge demand in short service windows. Long queues. Staff juggling orders, cash and fulfilment. Customers missing out when food sold out.
What changed. Customers pre-order before events. Scan a QR code. Pay digitally. Collect when ready.
The result. Orders processed without queues. Staff focused on cooking, not transactions. Customers get what they came for. And every customer is captured for the next event.

- Pop-ups & food truck events
In the wild
Trucks, stalls, mobile kitchens.
All on Tenvito.
Food trucks. Market bakers. Cheese stalls. Festival bars. Wood-fired ovens on tow. The same platform, whatever apron and wheels you’re in.

More joining every week.
You’re probably thinking…
How hard is it to get started?
Not hard. The Setup Guide walks you through seven steps and always shows the next one. Cosmo answers anything along the way, and the team is a message away. Open with a few products and add the rest when it suits you.
Do my customers need an app?
They tap a link, choose and pay. Nothing to download, no account, no password.
Can I set quantity limits per pitch?
Yes. Cap each item by quantity. Cap each 15-minute slot. Auto-close when sold out. The system tells customers up front.
Can I take festival or wedding bookings?
Yes. Each event can have its own order window, menu and slot caps. A wedding gets one set of slots, a festival pitch gets another. All under one dashboard.
Can customers order while standing at the truck or from their table at an event?
Yes. Stick a QR on the window and anyone in the queue can scan, order, and step aside while it’s prepared. Stick a QR on a picnic bench, a festival pod or a wedding table and customers order without leaving their seat. Each order arrives in your dashboard or on the handheld with the table number or pickup time.
My regulars find me on Instagram. Do I need this?
Instagram tells them where you are. Tenvito lets them order before they get there. Drop your order link in your bio — the same regulars now arrive pre-paid, with the food ready.
My customers aren’t tech-savvy. Will they manage?
They tap a link, choose and pay. Nothing to download, no account, no password.
I’m a single-window truck. Is this overkill?
Single-window is exactly where the queue hurts most. One bottleneck. Pre-orders take the bottleneck out before the rush starts.
Do I need a printer? What about kitchen tickets?
Optional but recommended. A thermal printer turns every order into a sticker for the bag — customer’s name, items, pickup time, PAID stamp. Works with any compatible thermal printer, or print direct from the smart handheld. Kitchen tickets and customer tickets can go to separate printers.
What if my card terminal goes down mid-service?
Tenvito runs on your customer’s phone, not your terminal. If your card machine dies, signal drops, or you run out of receipt roll, customers scan the QR on the window and pay on their own device. The orders keep landing in your dashboard. A POS that is a payment terminal stops working when the terminal stops working. Tenvito is the backup that’s always already there.
I tried Shopify and it didn’t work. Why is this different?
Shopify is built for general retail. Tenvito was built with food businesses, for food businesses. It understands service windows, slot caps, pitch locations, and the fact that a food truck moves.
What does it cost?
Open is free with 3.9% per order. Service is €29 per month with 2.9% per order and a 7-day trial. Stripe’s card fees sit on top, the same on both, and there is no contract on either — you pay only when a customer pays you.
Ready when you are
Your order book.
Mobile. Done.
Set up step by step, with Cosmo beside you. Your customers order ahead. You pull in with the orders already in the dashboard.
No monthly fee. No contract. Pay only when a customer pays you.
