built for food trucks. Ordering that follows your event calendar, on the Square account you already have.
Square Online is a website builder for your online store. Flash Order is ordering built around where your truck is today. Both run on Square.

Take Your First Order →
Sign in with Square and your items, options, and photos come over. Orders and payments go back into Square, so reporting and payouts stay where they are.
Take Your First Order →
Phone orders, pre-orders, kiosk, and register all land on one kitchen display, so a rush from every direction stays in order.
Take Your First Order →
Customers scan a QR code or tap NFC and order in seconds while they wait. No app download, no website to find.
Take Your First Order →For food trucks, this is the answer. The little kiosk system we had in the trailer worked, but it was constantly changing receipts, wind blowing them off, reprints. With Flash Order, the orders just go straight to the kitchen. No paper. No chaos.
The customer is paying a tiny fee to put their order in, compared to me paying $20 an hour for someone to do that for them. It just doesn’t make sense to go back.
My partner thought it was going to be a train wreck. Pushback has been less than 1% of customers.
Can I keep my Square Online website?
Yes. Keep your site and link to your Flash Order ordering page from it. Nothing in Square Online has to change.
Do I have to rebuild my menu?
No. Your Square catalog imports when you sign in with Square.
Does it work for pre-orders and catering pickups?
Yes. Each event can take pre-orders with pickup times, and they show up on your kitchen display separately from walk-up orders.
What does it cost?
Nothing per month, and no setup or device fees. Flash Order is funded by a 35¢ fee added to each customer’s order at checkout. It isn’t taken out of your payout. Square’s standard processing applies to the payment, as it does today.
Do I have to leave Square?
No. Flash Order runs on your existing Square account: sign in with Square, your menu imports, and orders and payments land in Square, which pays you out exactly as it does now.
