🚚 Product Description

Great food deserves a well-organized business.

Bring your recipes, inventory, purchasing, events, staff records, and daily financial tracking together with Food Truck & Mobile Vendor Manager from Eldon-Digital.

Designed for the practical demands of mobile food businesses, this downloadable application gives you a colorful, organized workspace for planning service, understanding ingredient costs, tracking stock, and reviewing event profitability.

Whether you operate a food truck, concession trailer, market stall, pop-up kitchen, or mobile catering business, you can keep the details behind each service day connected and easier to manage.

✨ 21 operational modules, 11 reports, branded exports, local team access, and a beautifully illustrated 33-page guide are included.

🍔 Understand your food costs and price your menu with purpose

Build a clearer picture of what goes into every serving.

• Create recipes, batches, and reusable sub-recipes.
• Track ingredient purchase prices, stock units, and edible yield.
• Calculate recipe batch costs and cost per portion.
• Include per-item labor and overhead when reviewing menu contribution.
• Calculate a suggested selling price based on your target food-cost percentage.
• Scale recipes for portions, guests, pans, and production quantities.
• Store preparation methods, allergen statements, and nutritional notes.

Recipe and menu calculations respond to changes in their underlying ingredient costs, helping you review your pricing as purchasing conditions change.

📦 Keep inventory, purchasing, and waste connected

Follow ingredients from receiving through storage, service, and disposal.

• Track inventory by ingredient, lot number, storage location, and expiration date.
• Record stock counts, adjustments, usage, and transfers.
• Set ingredient reorder points.
• Generate supplier purchase orders based on low stock and quantities already on order.
• Receive purchase orders into inventory lots.
• Maintain supplier contacts, payment terms, and receiving instructions.
• Record waste quantities, reasons, and corrective actions.
• Connect posted sales to recipe-based ingredient consumption.

Low-stock and expiration notices help bring records needing attention into view. Posting controls help protect stock history and prevent transactions from silently creating negative inventory.

📅 Organize events, orders, and production

Keep your service plans close to the records that support them.

• Manage event dates, customers, locations, menus, and forecast quantities.
• Record deposits and operational balance reminders.
• Track location fees and commission arrangements.
• Convert event menu quantities into linked preparation plans.
• Assign preparation work to staff members.
• Maintain prep and packing checklists.
• Record deadlines, priorities, planned time, and overhead allocations.
• Generate event documents, including invoices with tax and deposit deductions.

From a weekend market to a private catering booking, you can build a connected plan for what you intend to serve and how your team will prepare it.

💵 Review sales, expenses, and cash activity

Give your daily numbers a consistent home.

• Enter sales records or import sales using the required CSV format.
• Review imported sales before posting.
• Track discounts, collected tax, payment methods, and payment fees.
• Link sales to events and menu items.
• Record expenses by category, event, location, or staff member.
• Compare expected cash with the amount counted in the drawer.
• Record cash paid out and explanations for drawer differences.
• Review item contribution and event profitability.

Event profit calculations bring together posted sales and the applicable recorded food costs, fees, labor, expenses, overhead, and waste. This helps you assess individual events using more than their sales total alone.

👩🍳 Keep everyday operations organized

Manage the supporting details that are easy to scatter across notebooks and separate files.

• Staff records: Contact details, skills, availability, credentials, and pay information.
• Time and mileage: Event-linked hours, rates, mileage, and reimbursement records.
• Vehicles: Registration details, availability, maintenance dates, and service notes.
• Permits and renewals: Permit numbers, issuing authorities, expiration dates, and responsible staff.
• Commissary records: Kitchen bookings, facility hours, storage costs, and closing checklists.
• Safety and sanitation: Manually recorded temperatures, cleaning checklists, lot references, and corrective actions.

📊 Turn your records into useful reports and documents

Use the dashboard and reporting tools to review your operation and share readable information.

• Access 11 reports covering areas such as sales, profitability, inventory usage, and purchasing.
• Apply the filters supported by each report.
• Export individual records or selected and filtered record lists.
• Create PDF, Excel, and CSV files.
• Add your business identity and configured logo to supported PDF and Excel documents.
• Open host-computer exports through the operating system’s default application.
• Use the download option to save an additional copy or open a file on another device.

Exports are snapshots of your records, making them useful for printing, reviewing, and sharing.
