The food truck has a unique inventory model: purchases by service, no fixed warehouse
A food truck doesn't have a fixed warehouse to return to at the end of the day: it carries exactly the stock it needs for each service at each location. Buying too much means carrying extra weight and risking unused product before the next trading day. Buying too little means closing early or disappointing customers who can't get their dish. Purchase planning for a food truck is more critical than in any other format: the margin for error is minimal and the consequences are immediate. Kitchen Stocker lets you calculate purchasing needs for each service from the menu's recipe cost cards and the forecast number of covers, with available stock deducted automatically.
"Without inventory visibility, food cost slips away unnoticed."
Stock control from a mobile: the only tool that works in a food truck
A food truck has no office and no desktop computer: management happens from a phone, often in the vehicle itself before or after service. Kitchen Stocker is designed mobile-first: all logging functions — purchase entries, waste, stock counts — are accessible from a phone in under 30 seconds per operation. The owner can review available stock before each service, log waste at close, and see the day's food cost without needing to be at a desk or open a laptop.

Food cost by service: the real profitability of each location
Many food trucks have a feel for which market or event is more profitable, but few have data to confirm it. Does the Saturday artisan market have a better food cost than the Sunday food festival? Do high-temperature days reduce demand for certain dishes and generate more waste? Kitchen Stocker lets you close each service with the real food cost calculated from inventory: what came in, what was sold (based on recorded production), and what was left over or lost. With data from several trading days at the same location, patterns emerge that let you optimise purchasing and the menu by event type.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Kitchen Stocker without an internet connection during service?+
Kitchen Stocker requires an internet connection to sync data in real time. In areas with limited coverage, entries sync automatically when the connection is restored. For operations with no sustained connectivity, contact the support team.
How do I manage inventory if the food truck operates at different locations each week?+
Kitchen Stocker's inventory is global for the food truck, regardless of the service location. Each trading day you log that day's purchases and waste at close, and the system accumulates available stock for the next service.
Does Kitchen Stocker work for a food truck with a seasonal menu or changing daily specials?+
Yes. You can have recipe cost cards set as active or inactive depending on the season or event type. Switching the active menu takes seconds and the system recalculates purchasing needs with the new menu.
Can I calculate how much stock I need to buy for a three-day festival with Kitchen Stocker?+
Yes. From your menu's recipe cost cards and the forecast number of covers per day, Kitchen Stocker calculates the total quantities of each ingredient needed for all three days, deducting available stock. The result is the exact shopping list for the event.
Is Kitchen Stocker priced appropriately for a small food truck?+
Yes. Kitchen Stocker's Basic plan is built for single-location businesses with a small team or a single user. The monthly price is recoverable in the first month through waste reduction and food cost improvement from having real data.
