The Problem

A slow checkout window is money walking away

At peak lunch rush, every extra second at the window costs you customers. Card readers that fumble, freeze, or die mid-service are a real problem. CoreMobile removes the friction entirely.

Traditional Card Readers

  • Dies during Friday lunch rush
  • Chips skip, swipes decline, lines grow
  • Requires festival or venue Wi-Fi
  • Takes up limited counter space in the truck

With CoreMobile

  • Runs on your phone, always with you
  • 2-3 second tap approval, line keeps moving
  • Cellular data. No venue Wi-Fi needed
  • No countertop equipment, no cords
Features

Everything your food truck needs to move fast and get paid

Lightning-Fast Tap-to-Pay

Customers tap and it's done in 2 - 3 seconds, faster than any chip reader or swipe. During your busiest service, that speed adds up to significantly more customers served per hour.

📡

Cellular-First, No Wi-Fi Needed

Festival and event Wi-Fi is notoriously congested and unreliable. CoreMobile runs on your phone's cellular data. No hotspot, no venue network, no dropped transactions during peak service.

2-3 Second Checkout

Tap-on-glass is the fastest checkout at any food truck window. Customers tap once and they're done. No fumbling for cash, no card insertion, no PIN for contactless transactions under the limit.

💸

Surcharging

Food truck margins are tight. CoreMobile's surcharging feature lets you compliantly pass credit card fees to customers, shown transparently at checkout, to protect your bottom line on every order.
