For anyone who wants one final check before departure
The list is designed for weekly markets, festivals, Christmas markets and catering jobs. It works on paper today and as a reusable Mobistro template later. No account or email address is required.
From day-to-day operations
The obvious items are rarely the ones forgotten
- The main stock is ready, but the right power adapter is still in the workshop.
- There is a propane tank in the truck, but nobody knows whether it is full.
- Cups are planned for three festival days, but spare trash bags are not.
- The card reader is packed, yet its battery is empty.
A checklist that adapts to the event
The free base list covers the most common areas. In Mobistro, it becomes a reusable template with target quantities and visible progress.
Templates by event type
A weekly market, festival, catering job and Christmas market should not share exactly the same list.
Target quantities, not just yes or no
Cups, napkins and stock are planned as required quantities rather than simple reminders.
Progress the team can see
Everyone knows what is already loaded and which item is still open.
Available without a signal
The checklist remains available on the iPad when mobile coverage disappears on site.
Four events, four different lists
- 01
Saturday’s weekly market
A short event with familiar quantities and a quick setup. Routine and a reliable final check matter most.
- 02
A three-day festival
Reserve stock, chargers, replenishment and consumables need to cover several days.
- 03
Four weeks at a Christmas market
The list separates initial setup, daily replenishment and equipment that stays in the vendor space.
- 04
Corporate catering in an unfamiliar kitchen
Alongside the food, the team needs certainty about which appliances, connections and containers are actually available.
A clear boundary
A checklist is not valuable on its own
It becomes useful when it reflects the event and the inventory you actually have. Mobistro connects checklists with event types, target quantities and existing items. The free printable version remains independent and ready to use.
Frequently asked questions
What belongs on a food truck checklist?
At minimum: propane and power, cooling, stock, consumables, POS, documents, cleaning and hygiene. The template on this page contains specific items for every area.
Do I need a new checklist for every event?
Not from scratch. A template for each event type saves time; only quantities and special requirements change for the individual booking.
Can I use the checklist without internet access?
The template on this page works when printed. Mobistro is designed to keep the iPad checklist available offline as well.
Can I separate festival and weekly-market lists?
Yes. Different templates prevent a short market routine from becoming mixed with extensive festival preparation.
Can I print the template?
Yes. Select “Print checklist”. The complete list can be printed without an account or email address.
