Set up your public schedule, menu, and branding. Show up on the Frontburner map so hungry customers can find you. Upgrade to Standard when you want ordering, POS, and catering.
Your own branded PWA — live ordering, open/closed status, schedule, preorders, and directions — all from one app customers install to their home screen. See it live at demo.getfrontburner.com.
✓Live open/closed status so customers always know when you're serving
✓Schedule + multi-map directions (Apple, Google, or Waze)
✓Preorders for upcoming stops — paid ahead, ready for pickup
✓Running cart total visible at every step — no lost orders
The tools you're using weren't built for how food trucks work.
Social media, third-party ordering apps, and aggregator sites all have one thing in common: they own the customer relationship. Frontburner puts that relationship back where it belongs — with you.

📢
The algorithm is not your friend
You post your location on Facebook. 95 out of 100 followers never see it. You built that audience — you shouldn't have to pay to reach them.
💸
Per-order fees show up on your receipts
Some ordering platforms charge your customers $1.25 or more per transaction. At 2,000 orders a year that's $2,500 your customers paid — on your ticket, with your name on it.
🔍
Hungry people search. They don't find you.
Without a website and app, people search for food and end up somewhere else — not your truck. A quick push before lunch means they’re not searching at all. They already know where you are.
❄️
Winter costs you more than the slow season
Every November your audience disconnects. Every spring you rebuild awareness from scratch. That momentum you spent all season building just evaporates.
The whole platform
Built for a truck that moves — not a restaurant that doesn't.
Most POS and ordering tools were built for a counter that never leaves the building. Frontburner is the all-in-one ordering app, POS, and catering platform built for how trucks actually work — discovery and profitability, in one place.
01
Your customers. Not a faceless listing.
Your own branded app — your name, your colors, your menu, and your followers, not leads rented from an aggregator. And when you open, you confirm it: a GPS-verified, real-time open status goes live on your page, plus a location push to every follower's lock screen.
A schedule is a promise. Frontburner shows customers you're actually there.
A live recipe-cost dashboard shows food cost and margin on every plate. 0% commission, one flat monthly fee, zero fees to your customers — plus real reporting on what's actually working.
Your POS tells you what you sold. Frontburner tells you what you made.
Customers order ahead for your next stop. Your kitchen gets a clear prep list from paid orders.
Kitchen Display (KDS)
Realtime tickets on a tablet — ready, bump, print — built for the line, not a desktop POS.
Schedule that travels
Plan stops, import calendars, share to social, and send customers to Apple, Google, or Waze.
Winter Mode
Pause for the slow season without losing your audience or your catering pipeline.
What's included
Start free. Unlock the full truck stack when you're ready.
Free covers schedule, menu, and branding. Standard adds ordering, POS, KDS, catering, and more — still 0% commission, one flat monthly fee, zero fees to your customers.
📍
Live location push
One tap sends a real push to every follower's lock screen — not a social post that 5% of people see. "We're at 5th & Main, open at 11."
100% reach, not 5%
📱
Branded ordering PWA
Your logo, colors, and menu — installable on the home screen like an app. Customers order before they leave the house.
Works on iPhone & Android
🗓️
Scheduled preorders
Open preorder windows for upcoming stops. Customers pay ahead; you cook with a plan instead of guessing the line.
Cutoff + pickup windows
👨🍳
Kitchen Display (KDS)
Realtime tickets on a kitchen tablet — mark ready, bump, print tickets, and hear new orders. Built for the window, not a back-office PC.

📋
Prep List from paid orders
Turn today's paid preorders into a prep list your crew can cook from — quantities aggregated, specials called out.
🗺️
Schedule, share & directions
Plan stops, import from Street Food Finder, share your week to social, and let customers open Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze.
Multi-map chooser

Ran out of the special at noon? Tap it off. It disappears from every customer's phone in seconds — no more "sorry, we're out."

We ran a BBQ trailer. We knew exactly what it felt like to pull up somewhere and hope enough people knew we were there. That problem has a solution. We built it.
