The Problem

Most KDS Systems Weren't Built for Food Trucks

Traditional Kitchen Display Systems are designed for fixed-location restaurants with predictable workflows.

Food trucks operate differently:

  • Multiple ordering channels
  • Event-based demand spikes
  • Preorders mixed with live orders
  • Limited space and staffing

Without the right system, service quickly becomes chaotic.

All Channels

Every Order Channel Connected

Flash Order displays orders from every ordering channel in one unified KDS:

Web ordering
QR code ordering
App / App Clip
Kiosk

Preorders

Your team works from one system — regardless of how the customer ordered.

Event-Based

Built Around Events, Not Just Tickets

Food truck service changes from event to event. Flash Order organizes orders around the specific event you're operating.

That means you can:

  • Separate event orders automatically
  • Manage preorders and live orders together
  • Filter service by event, pickup time, or order type
  • Keep large events organized and controlled

This becomes especially powerful during high-volume service.

Stations & Filters

Configure Stations Around Your Workflow

Every food truck operates differently.

Flash Order allows you to create custom KDS views using filters for virtually any order data.

Examples:

  • Grill station
  • Drinks station
  • Expo screen
  • Preorder pickup station
  • Event-specific prep screens

Your workflow adapts to your truck — not the other way around.

Order Alert Screen

Keep Customers Moving

Flash Order can display a dedicated Order Alert Screen connected directly to the KDS.

Customers can quickly see:

  • Orders being prepared
  • Orders ready for pickup

This reduces confusion, improves flow, and helps your team stay focused during busy service.
