Food truck step 1: each truck as a location

Each vehicle is a business location in SmartPOS Hub. That one decision gives every truck its own stock, receipts, invoice numbers, cash register and reports.

How to turn it on

1. 1Plan: Offline POS depends on your plan; a module that isn't included shows Not in your plan with See plans.
2. 2Switch: Settings › Business Settings › Modules: Offline POS, Modifiers (and Kitchen if you use a kitchen screen), then Update Settings
3. 3Permission: Admins have every permission. Truck staff need the sell permissions and access to their truck's location.

Mobile app: SmartPOS Business app: sell, offline selling, cash register

Before you start

• Business name, currency, time zone and tax rates are set (Business settings).

Add the trucks

1. Open Settings › Invoice Settings and add an invoice scheme per truck with its own prefix (T1-, T2-).
2. Open Settings › Business Locations and click Add.
3. Name the location after the truck (“Truck #1 – East Cesar Chavez”), enter the home address, and pick its invoice scheme and receipt layout.
4. Repeat for every truck, and add a Commissary location if you keep stock in a store room.
5. Open Settings on each truck location to choose its payment methods and POS featured products.

/business-location

Two trucks, two locations, each with its own invoice numbering.

Switch on the modules

1. Open Settings › Business Settings and click the Modules tab.
2. Turn on Offline POS and Modifiers. Add Kitchen only if a cook works from a screen.
3. Click Update Settings.

Add the crew

Create a Cashier role (or use the prebuilt one) and add each crew member as a user with access to their truck only (Users and roles). Roles are edited under User Management › Roles.

Tips and mistakes to avoid

• Don’t share one login between trucks; you lose the per-truck cash count.
• If trucks swap crews, give a user access to both trucks and let them pick the location on the POS.
