CartFlow is back-office software for food trucks, market stalls, coffee carts, caterers and other mobile food businesses. It organizes event applications and bookings alongside staff, packing lists, logistics and event records. CartFlow is not a point-of-sale system; it connects to the POS an operator already uses. Reporting shows profitability by event, product and venue, with year-over-year comparisons. Inventory tools provide live stock counts, low-stock alerts and per-event stock usage. Sales, stock adjustments and event notes can be recorded without a signal and synced when the device reconnects. CartFlow runs in a browser on phones, tablets and laptops, and can be installed to a phone home screen without an app store. Listed integrations include Square, SumUp, Zettle, Shopify POS, Lightspeed Retail, Clover, Toast, Loyverse, Xero, Zapier, HNRY via Zapier and Stripe. The free plan has monthly limits on events, sales records, products, recipes and stock. Pro is NZ$39 per month, and Business is NZ$79 per month; the pricing note separately lists paid plans from $29/mo.
