Plan
Every event in one calendar with status, times and expected head count. One vehicle or several, with a crew per vehicle.
For food truck operators
Food truck management software for events, checklists and inventory
Plan your events, calculate prep quantities and keep track of what needs loading. After service, compare revenue and costs with your plan. Keep using your existing POS.
Free beta for selected operators in the US, Canada, UK, Switzerland, and Europe.
One event, start to finish
From a festival inquiry to the last container
A street festival asks your truck to serve tacos and drinks. Here is how you prepare the job and record how it turned out. The demo screens illustrate the steps using different example events.
- 01
Run the numbers before you commit
Plan sales and menu prices, then food, staff, the vendor fee and travel. The net calculation shows what would remain after recorded costs. Keep the date in the calendar as a planned event while you decide.
Work out event revenue and costs
- 02
Prepare the kitchen and the truck
Enter planned servings for each taco recipe to get the kitchen’s ingredient quantities. Apply them to the vehicle checklist when ready, then add drinks and equipment. During loading, target quantities, stock on the truck and what still needs loading stay visible.
Connect kitchen prep with vehicle checklists
- 03
Compare the result with the plan
After service, record leftovers, losses, actual costs and net sales from your POS report. The closeout shows where the result differs from the plan. When the next festival comes around, you have a previous result to refer to.
Understand food cost and usage differences
For operators who need clarity between events
Mobistro is built for operators running one or more food trucks, mobile bars and catering teams. If your POS works but day-to-day operations are still spread across paper, spreadsheets and chat threads, this food truck software brings that work together.

Where food truck operations actually break down
- Something is missing during loading, and nobody knows for certain what is already in the truck.
- Saturday’s confirmed booking is buried in a message from three weeks ago.
- How much ground beef 180 tacos take gets worked out by the same person every time.
- By evening the revenue is known — whether the day was worth it is still anyone’s guess.
Keep the event connected from booking to review
Guest count drives prep, prep fills the packing checklist and wrap-up produces the actual food cost. Inventory and vehicles stay attached throughout.
Prep
Recipes record what a given number of servings takes. Head count becomes quantities, without mental arithmetic.
Pack
Prep quantities move onto the packing checklist at the press of a button. Checking an item loads the vehicle — the stock moves with it.
Review
Work out revenue and costs beforehand, record leftovers and losses at teardown. The result then sits next to the plan.
A clear boundary
Not a POS system — deliberately.
Mobistro does not process payments, print receipts or replace your POS. Your existing system stays in place. Mobistro adds everything before and after it — planning, preparation, loading and review — while you keep using your current POS. At event closeout, you manually enter net sales from your POS report. There is no automatic POS import.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mobistro a POS system for food trucks?
No. Mobistro complements your existing POS and organizes everything around it: planning, preparation, loading and review.
Can I keep my current POS?
Yes. Keep using your current POS. At event closeout, you manually enter net sales from your POS report into Mobistro. Sales are not imported automatically.
Does Mobistro help with loading?
Yes. Checklists come from reusable templates, include target quantities and can be prepared and completed for each event.
Can I manage vehicle deadlines?
Yes. Inspections, maintenance, cleaning and damage are tracked for each vehicle and flagged early enough to act.
Does it work with more than one vehicle?
Yes. Each vehicle keeps its own dates and history, while inventory and events remain part of the shared operation.
How much does Mobistro cost?
Mobistro is free during beta. There is no automatic conversion to a paid plan.
