Serve the crowd without making everyone stand in line.
Share one link or QR code at a brewery, axe house, event, office, or stop. Orders land in the kitchen and expo, and Plate texts each guest when pickup is ready.

What Plate changes in daily service.
Turn every table, lane, and seat into a place to order
At a brewery, entertainment venue, office, or event, guests may not want to leave their group and stand at the truck window just to order.
Share a Plate link or QR code for the stop. Guests order and pay from where they are, and the ticket lands in the same queue as at-window orders.
- Venue links and QR codes
- One kitchen and expo queue
- Text-when-ready pickup
Show guests when orders are ready
A public ready board lets guests check order status without standing at the pickup window or listening for a called number.
Plate can also send a text when the order is ready, giving each guest a direct pickup notification.
Publish current stops and service hours
Guests need a reliable place to see where the truck will be and when service starts and ends.
Plate publishes current stops and hours so guests can plan an order around the truck's schedule.
