No fixed location, no problem. A digital loyalty card travels with your customers — wherever you park next, your regulars already have your card on their phone.
Key Takeaway: Food trucks can't rely on foot traffic — they need a loyal following that shows up wherever they park. A digital stamp card builds that following. With Pro, send messages to all cardholders announcing today's location or specials.
In short
The best loyalty programme for food trucks is a digital stamp card that solves the biggest mobile vendor challenge: no fixed location. Customers carry your card on their phone and collect stamps wherever you park. FaveCard's free digital card builds a portable following that travels with your truck.

You park in a different spot each day. Customers who loved your food last week can't find you this week.
Solution: With Pro, send a message to all your cardholders announcing where you're parked today. Your loyal following finds you wherever you go.
Food truck customers eat on the go. They're not carrying a paper punch card in their pocket between random encounters.
Solution: A digital card on their phone is always with them. Next time they see your truck, their stamp progress is right there.
Social media reach is unpredictable. You post your location but only a fraction of followers see it.
Solution: With Pro, send a message to every cardholder's phone — announce your location, daily specials, or schedule changes. More reliable than posting on social media.
Festivals and markets bring crowds, but most are one-time visitors. No way to capture them for future events.
Solution: Offer a loyalty card at every event. One scan and they're connected to your truck for every future stop.
3 simple steps to launch your loyalty programme
Choose your colours, upload your logo, pick a stamp icon (taco, burger, bowl), and set your reward — like 'Buy 8 meals, get the 9th free'.
Print your QR code on the serving window, menu board, or napkin holder. Customers scan once while waiting for their food.
When customers pay, scan their phone in 2 seconds. Fast enough for the lunch rush queue.
Tools designed for how your business actually works
Your food truck card lives on customers' phones. They carry it everywhere, ready for whenever they spot your truck. Pro adds Apple & Google Wallet passes.
Send a message to all your cardholders — announce today's location, daily specials, or schedule changes. Reaches their phone directly, no algorithm to fight.
2-second QR scan keeps the line moving. No app to open, no account to create, no slowdown.

See how many loyal customers you've built, how often they visit, and which locations get the most regulars.
Free meal, free drink, extra stamp on slow days — set any reward structure that fits your truck's vibe.
