Food Trucks, Trends of the Future

 

Food trucks are one of the hottest trends in the restaurant industry right now, and consumers are showing increasing interest in mobile foodservice. “Though food trucks are often equated with chefs and entrepreneurs, they also present opportunities for operators of established restaurants to expand their operations and presence, as a majority of consumers say they would visit a food truck run by their favorite restaurant. Mobile foodservice can be a good way to extend an existing restaurant brand beyond the four walls of the establishment,” says Riehle. (Excerpt from Hospitality Technology)

A mobile restaurant needs all of the components of a restaurant kitchen… but what about a computer?  You should not short change yourself and skip on a POS.  A POS will inform cooks quickly on special orders, will keep your money accounted, and you will still get all of the best reports that MicroSale has to offer. You can see sales trends, what you sell the most, and you can determine which area gives you the highest sales!  If and when you decide to go on the road with your concept, let MicroSale fuel the way to your success.

Line Breaking:

A mobile restaurant is geared towards convenience and speed, so what happens when the line gets too long and customers do not want to wait?

MicroSale has superior PDA technology that will allow your staff to leave the vehicle and walk through the line taking orders.  Not only will this allow the staff to place the order immediately for the kitchen, it also enables quick cash-outs.  With built in card swipes, you can even run credit card transactions on the side walk! 

 

To gain even more portability, add on a mobile printer. MicroSale is partnered with Epson who offers a portable printer with the industry-leading battery life.

Based on the best-selling TM-T88 series, Epson’s compact, cost effective Mobilink wireless mobile printer is designed to meet the needs of both retail and hospitality for high-speed, mobile, thermal receipt printing. Your current TM-T88 series applications are instantly compatible with Mobilink. And unlike other wireless mobile printers with an average battery life of 2-3 hours, the Mobilink features an industry-leading battery life of up to 20 hours.
