Selling on the go without a POS: the guide for food trucks & market stalls

Before your first customer arrives, set up your range. Create categories like drinks, snacks or merchandise and add your products with prices. Emojis and colours keep categories easy to recognise even during the rush.

Got a menu or price list? With AI import (a Pro feature) you simply take a photo of it, and Nuvio automatically creates matching categories and products. That saves you the manual setup.

While selling, you tap the ordered products – Nuvio calculates the total automatically. Enter the amount received and the change calculator instantly shows the correct change. No mental arithmetic, no mistakes in the rush.

If something comes up, you can pause an order and resume it later without losing data – ideal for busy moments or short interruptions.

At markets or festival grounds the connection is often weak. That is why Nuvio works fully offline and stores everything locally on your device. You are always ready to sell – even with no signal.

Once you are back online, you can sync your data and make it available across several devices. Synchronization requires an account and a Pro subscription.

At the end of the day you create a closing report and see at a glance which products sold and how often. Because Nuvio is a sales assistant and not a certified POS system, it does not store revenue – but it does record the quantities sold for your statistics.

That way, across several events, you can spot which products perform well and where restocking pays off.

Protect sensitive areas with a PIN so nothing gets changed by accident during the rush. If you sell as a team, use several devices in parallel – multi-user and sync are Pro features. And test your workflow once in advance so every step is second nature when it counts.

Ideally, start with the free 14-day trial and set up your range calmly before your first market day.
