Complete softwarefor food vans.
VanOS gives food van owners a branded online storefront, a live order queue, automatic opening and closing hours, and card payment — all running in the browser, with no app to download and no hardware to buy.
Real-time
Orders appear the moment payment clears — no polling, no refresh needed
Browser-based
No app to download, no hardware to buy — runs in any phone browser
Card & cash
Stripe built in alongside cash orders, managed from the same queue
Auto-schedule
Set opening hours once and the van opens and closes itself daily
How it works
A smooth flow for everyone.
VanOS handles two things at once — the customer's ordering experience and the owner's kitchen workflow — and keeps them in sync in real time.
Owner · dashboard
Running the van
Order in
A new order lands in the queue the moment a customer pays. You get a push notification and the card appears at the top of your screen.
Accept
Tap Accept and the customer's live tracker updates instantly. The prep countdown begins.
Prepare
Move the order to Preparing when you start cooking. The prep timeline adjusts across the whole queue.
Ready
Mark it ready. The customer's collection PIN activates on their phone. Hand over the order and mark it collected — done.

Placing an order
Visit
Customers go to the van's own web address on any phone or browser. No app to download, no account required.
Browse & order
The live menu shows what's available right now. Add items, choose card or cash, and place the order in under a minute.
Track
A live tracking page shows exactly where the order is — accepted, being prepared, or ready to collect.
Collect
When the order is ready, a secure collection PIN appears on screen. Hand it over at the window and you're done.

Who it's for
Built for vans that are serious about their queue.
VanOS is a good fit for any food business that takes orders on-site and needs to manage a queue — food vans, market stalls, festival traders, and pop-up kitchens.
It works especially well for operators who are tired of taking orders on paper, shouting names across the queue, or missing pre-orders that came in overnight.
Food vans trading from a regular pitch or rotating between locations
Market and festival traders who need a queue they can actually manage
Pop-up kitchens and supper clubs taking advance slot bookings
Operators who want card payments without a standalone terminal contract
Anyone who has outgrown WhatsApp orders and pen-and-paper queues
