FuegoPOS

FuegoPOS is a mobile point-of-sale for food trucks and fast-casual restaurants that need counter sales, digital orders and kitchen tickets in one system. It is best suited to smaller, quick-service operations, though extra terminals and payment processing can raise the cost beyond its free software tier.

Overview

FuegoPOS connects in-person sales with online orders that share the same menu, reporting and kitchen order management. It runs over Wi-Fi or 5G cellular without requiring a network build-out, a practical fit for mobile businesses and locations that need flexible connectivity. Its focus is food service, so operators outside that setting should look for a system built around their workflow.

Key features

Ordering and kitchen operations

Online ordering feeds into the POS, while the built-in kitchen display system receives orders in real time. DoorDash, UberEats and Grubhub integrations are built in, and Fuego is a certified Olo partner. That combination is useful when delivery is a meaningful sales channel rather than an occasional add-on.

Fire includes a second terminal and a KDS; Fuego also advertises a free 11-inch KDS with Fire while supplies last. The plan supports up to two terminals and one KDS screen. Each additional POS terminal costs $20 per month and each extra KDS terminal $10 per month, so operators with several service or kitchen stations should calculate those recurring charges before choosing Fire.

Payments, hardware and integrations

Card processing starts at 2.6% + $0.10 per transaction. Fuego supports major credit cards, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, as well as split payments and offline payments. The Starter plan includes offline mode, but it does not include cellular service or hardware. Android devices are supported; the PAX A77 handheld is sold separately for $299.

Fuego describes its 5G hardware as PCI-compliant, and Starter includes PCI compliance. Its open API lets partner systems access POS data across the modules a customer uses, which may help businesses connecting the POS to other systems. Fuego lists a US-based support team reachable by phone at 888-878-4838 or by email at [email protected].

Pricing

FuegoPOS uses a freemium model. Starter costs nothing, with processing fees applying. It includes cloud menu management, an employee module, split payments and offline mode. Because cellular service and hardware are excluded, this is a software starting point rather than a complete no-cost checkout setup.

Fire costs $49 a month plus processing fees. It adds KDS, a second terminal, inventory management, online ordering, and customized and text receipts. This is the clearest fit for a food business that needs digital ordering and kitchen workflow; the terminal and KDS caps can add monthly expense as the operation grows.

Blaze costs $79 a month plus processing fees. It adds unlimited customer storage, bulk product updates, Power BI Builder access and custom online-ordering design. Power BI Builder is $10/user from Microsoft, so teams should account for that separate cost when assessing analytics needs.

Two paid add-ons work with any plan: Loyalty costs $19 a month for points, tiers and rewards, automated messages, and email and text campaigns; Gift Cards costs $19 a month for unlimited activations, reloads and redemptions, with no Fuego transaction or redemption fee. Fuego says there is no contract when hardware is purchased outright; terms can apply to leased or financed hardware and promotional offers.

Platforms

FuegoPOS supports Android, web, API and self-hosted use. That range covers Android POS hardware, browser access and partner connections, though hardware selection matters for a complete setup.

Who it's for

Food trucks and fast-casual restaurants are the natural audience, particularly operators combining counter transactions with delivery orders and kitchen tickets. Inventory tracking, menu modifiers, staff permissions and multiple locations support broader day-to-day restaurant needs. A business with many service stations should weigh the per-terminal charges against the included Fire capacity.

Pros and cons

• Shared ordering workflow: Online and POS orders use the same menu, reporting and kitchen management, reducing channel separation for quick-service teams.
• Delivery built in: DoorDash, UberEats and Grubhub integrations, plus the Olo partnership, make delivery a core use case.
• Low-cost software entry: Starter has no subscription price and includes offline mode and split payments, but processing fees apply and hardware is extra.
• Costs can scale with stations: Fire includes two terminals and one KDS screen; additional terminals are charged monthly.

Alternatives

For a broader set of food-truck POS options, browse Food Truck POS Software. Biyo POS is worth comparing if a free plan and wider platform support, including iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows, matter; its free Premium + Processing plan is for US businesses only, and its Standard plan costs $47 a month. Loyverse may suit a business prioritizing sales-history access: its POS plan has 31 days of sales history, while unlimited history costs $5 a month per store or $50/year.

SpotOn Restaurant is an option for businesses seeking POS software and hardware, ordering, payments, table layouts, menu management and reporting in one plan; its All-In Plan carries processing minimums and a 2-year minimum term. CartFlow is another freemium option. ParcelPOS offers a free plan capped at 30 orders/day. Zeller has a free-to-run POS with no monthly subscription or software licence fee, but requires a Zeller Terminal and charges transaction fees. Avocado POS offers a no-monthly-bill Starter plan, with a 5% + 15¢ per payment total fee that can be covered by the customer or split. HunoMenu is another freemium alternative.

Verdict

Choose FuegoPOS if you run a food truck or fast-casual restaurant and want delivery, counter sales and kitchen display tied to one menu and order flow. Its strongest case is the combination of food-service ordering and real-time kitchen handling; look elsewhere if the added hardware, processing fees or Fire station limits do not suit your budget or scale.
