TrooNow is a web service combining a website, online ordering, point of sale, live location map, loyalty, and bookkeeping for food businesses. The maker lists food trucks, restaurants, pop-ups, ghost kitchens, bakeries, and food halls as its audience. Customers can order and pay from phones, while merchants use a tablet POS for walk-in sales. Food truck tools include location updates, festival QR ordering with pickup codes, catering and event bookings, and multi-truck management. Restaurant mode adds reservations, table QR ordering, and dine-in order management. Stripe and Square payments send funds to the merchant’s connected account. Integrations include Twilio SMS, Meta publishing, and OpenStreetMap. Merchants supply hardware; supported devices include thermal receipt printers and USB or Bluetooth barcode scanners. Staff use PIN logins with Owner, Manager, Server, or Kitchen roles. A 14-day trial requires no credit card. Starter costs $19/mo billed annually, with Pro and Plus tiers adding features.
Who it is for
TrooNow suits food trucks and other food businesses needing ordering, POS, location, loyalty, or bookkeeping tools in one web service. It also supports operators managing multiple trucks or restaurant dining workflows.
