Food truck per-stop profit

What TruckTally does

The festival charges you the same pitch fee whether you sell three hundred tacos or thirty — but you don't find out which one happened until weeks later, if ever. Sales live in your POS, cash sits in the till, the pitch fee is on a crumpled receipt, commissary rent is on autopay, and fuel is somewhere in your card statement. TruckTally puts them together, one stop at a time.

TruckTally is the end-of-shift ritual for food truck, trailer, and cart operators. Park, close the window, and open the app: log the stop (venue, hours, weather), count the drawer by payment type — cash, card, app orders — and attach what the day actually cost you: pitch fee, commissary share, fuel, labor, supplies. Thirty seconds later you have the number no POS report will ever show you: what tonight actually put in your pocket.

Do that for a season and the real magic appears. The venue league table ranks every brewery night, street corner, office park, farmers market, and festival by average net per hour — so the next time an organizer emails about rebooking, you answer with data instead of gut feel. Seasonal trends show which months carry the truck and which stops quietly bleed it. Weather notes reveal whether that rainy-Tuesday slump was the spot or the sky.

Because a good night starts before you roll, each venue keeps its own prep checklist — the propane top-off, the cambro count, the permit copy that one inspector always asks for. And when your accountant asks for the year, a clean CSV export sends every shift, sale, and expense in one file.

TruckTally is fully offline. No account, no bank connection, no POS integration to break, nothing leaving your phone. Your numbers are yours.

Built for the owner-operator running one or two trucks who is done rebooking gigs on hope.

What's inside

• Shift Log — Log each stop in seconds: pick the venue, set service hours, tag the weather, add notes. Every shift becomes one row in the truck's per-stop ledger with its own net-profit figure.
• Till Count — The end-of-night ritual: count the drawer by payment type — cash (with a denomination counter), card/POS total keyed from the Square screen, and app orders — and TruckTally totals gross sales for the stop.
• Stop Costs — Attach what the stop cost you: pitch/event fee, commissary share, fuel, labor, supplies, permits. Recurring costs like commissary rent can auto-suggest a per-shift allocation.
• Venue League Table — Every venue ranked by average net profit per service hour, with best/worst shifts, visit count, and a rebook-worthy verdict at a glance — the answer to 'should I say yes to that brewery night again'.
• Trends — Monthly and seasonal profit trends, weekday vs weekend comparison, and weather breakdowns so slumps get attributed to the spot or the sky — not guessed at.
• Prep & Export — Per-venue prep checklists (propane, cambros, permit copy) that reset before each shift, plus a CSV export of every shift, sale, and expense for the accountant.

Why we built it

Food truck operators pay the same pitch fee whether they sell 100 burgers or 10, but their numbers are scattered across a POS report, a cash till, and a shoebox of receipts — so they keep rebooking events and street spots without ever knowing which ones lose money. Every food-truck app on the App Store is customer-fac…

What makes it different

Square and Toast show gross card sales per day but have no pitch-fee, commissary, fuel, or labor inputs, so they can't answer 'was that festival worth it'; Truckster Vendor and Best Food Trucks are customer-facing locator/ordering marketplaces with zero operator cost tracking; QuickBooks Self-Employed is a 15-dollar-a…
