A tidy close makes tomorrow easier. Here is a short end-of-day routine for food trucks and mobile caterers.
When the queue finally stops, the last thing anyone wants is paperwork. A short, repeatable close keeps the numbers right and the next day calm.
Check that the day's sales are complete and that card and cash totals match what you expect. Do it before you leave the pitch, while the day is fresh.
Note what is left and what needs to be loaded for tomorrow. A quick count of the key items beats a big count later in the week.
Record anything binned or given away. It is the only way to see which items you are over-preparing.
Put handhelds and tablets on charge, and make sure everything is synced before you pack away.
Use today's sales pattern to decide what to prep and load. Quiet product, busy product, weather and event days all change the plan.
If you run more than one truck, reporting by vehicle and location shows what is working. Trackory supports food trucks and mobile caterers with EPOS, stock and reporting in one platform. Read more on our food truck and street food page, or talk to the team.
