Your food truck kit
Food truck marketing ideas — with the tools to do them
A truck is a billboard, a kitchen and a storefront in one. Six ideas that make it findable — location codes, menu codes, schedules and campaigns. Free, no signup.
Free tool
Location QR code
One scan opens Google Maps on your spot with directions ready — for market signage, business cards and your next event flyer.

Menu QR code
Your menu lives at a link; the code puts it on any surface. Update the menu whenever — the printed code never changes.

Tap-to-call code
Catering, bookings, “where are you today?” — a scan starts the call. Perfect for the side of the truck.

Event QR code
Food festival, market night, pop-up: one scan saves the date to a phone's calendar before they walk past your stall.

Print-size calculator
A code on the side of a truck gets scanned from farther away than a table sign — this tells you exactly how big to print.

A full promo campaign
Describe what you're promoting — a new route, a festival appearance, a lunch special — and get the video script, social captions, flyer, email and QR in one go.
Build my campaign →Idea 1
Your truck is a moving billboard — make it scannable
People who see your truck at a red light can't order, but they can remember. A large menu QR code on the service window (sized with the calculator — it's read from a distance) turns passers-by into tomorrow's customers.
Idea 2
Post where you'll be before you're there
The most valuable food-truck marketing is the schedule. A weekly post — where, when, what's special — plus a location QR code for the regular spot. Consistency beats cleverness; people plan lunch around trucks they can predict.
Idea 3
Make the market stall sell while you cook
At a festival you're too busy to pitch. A menu QR code at eye level answers every question, and an event QR code on the counter books your next appearance into their calendar while they wait.
Idea 4
A phone code on the counter wins catering
Offices nearby order catering. A tap-to-call code by the register — "scan to ask about catering" — captures the thought the moment it happens, instead of hoping they Google you later.
Idea 5
One offer, every surface
"Follow us and get $2 off Friday." Profit drafts that as one campaign: a short video script, the social caption, a window flyer and an email — the same message everywhere, written once.
Idea 6
Collect the regulars before they forget you
A Wi-Fi or menu code keeps a customer at the counter for thirty extra seconds — enough time for a sign that says "scan to follow." Trucks live on regulars; make joining effortless.
One sentence, whole campaign
Tell Profit what you're promoting this week
“New lunch route, downtown weekdays, first 20 orders get a free drink.” Profit drafts the video script, social captions, flyer, email and QR — all carrying the same message.
Start my food truck campaign →Common questions
How do I market my food truck for free?
Consistency and scannability. Post your weekly schedule, put QR codes for your menu, location and phone number on the truck and at your regular spot, keep your Google Business Profile updated, and promote one offer at a time. All of the tools to do this are free here — no signup, generated in your browser.
Where should I put QR codes on my food truck?
Menu code at eye level near the ordering window, a phone code for catering and bookings by the register, and any large code sized for distance — remember a code on a vehicle is often scanned from several feet away, so use the print-size calculator before printing.
Can QR codes handle a changing menu or location?
Yes — the right way. Point the code at a stable link (your menu page, your schedule page, your Maps listing) and update the page, never the code. Our static codes are permanent and free; the destination does the changing.
Does Profit cost anything?
No. Every tool on this page is free, with no account. The campaign builder drafts your assets in the browser — describe what you're promoting and Profit writes the whole set.
