Frontburner Café · the live demo
This is what your customers see.
Your name, your photos, your menu — a real app on their phone, not a Facebook post. Open/closed and where you're parked, live. This shot is Frontburner Café, the same demo at demo.getfrontburner.com.
- ✓Live open/closed and the stop you're at — so they don't drive to an empty lot
- ✓Real food photos on the menu, not clip-art burgers
- ✓Follow for a lock-screen ping when you open — not a post 5% of people see
- ✓Running cart total at every step. Preorders when you want the kitchen to cook ahead.
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.

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.
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.
Know your margins. Keep your money.
A live recipe-cost dashboard shows food cost and margin on every plate. 0% commission. Full is $149/mo once live in spring. $1,250 setup (50% deposit, $625). Everyone else: $250 off Full setup if you sign within a week. Light (No-POS) is $79/mo once live in spring. $750 setup (50% deposit, $375). Winter Mode, $39/mo: your site, menu and schedule stay up, and catering quotes and card-reader payments for catering keep working. POS and online orders pause until spring. Zero fees to your customers.
Catering and events, handled.
Branded quotes, online deposits and balance payments, and event management — a real pipeline instead of a shoebox of texts and Venmo requests.

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."
Branded ordering PWA
Your logo, colors, and menu — installable on the home screen like an app. Customers order before they leave the house.
Scheduled preorders
Open preorder windows for upcoming stops. Customers pay ahead; you cook with a plan instead of guessing the line.
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.
One-tap 86
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."
Location polls
Let followers vote on where you park next. They feel invested. They show up. Built for trucks that move.
