Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about functionality, multi-location support, and how FoodTruck P&L works.
- What is FoodTruck P&L?
- FoodTruck P&L is a simple, mobile-first profit and loss tracker built for food truck operators. Log daily revenue, track expenses by category, and see your net profit instantly — from your phone or any device.
- Can I operate from multiple locations?
- Yes. The app is built for multi-location use from day one. Add your sales locations (markets, events, cities) with their own tax rates. When you log income, pick the location and tax is calculated automatically. Your P&L rolls up across all locations.
- How does tax tracking work per location?
- Each location has its own sales tax rate (e.g. 9.25%). When you enter gross revenue for a shift, the app applies that location's rate and records tax collected separately. Net profit reflects actual income after tax.
- What can I track?
- Income (with location and tax), expenses by category (food & ingredients, labor, vehicle & fuel, permits, marketing, supplies), and suppliers. The dashboard shows revenue, expenses, and net profit for any month.
- Can I export my data?
- Yes. Export any month or custom date range to CSV, Excel, or PDF. Share reports with your accountant without giving them login access.
- Is it mobile-friendly?
- Yes. The app is mobile-first and works as a PWA — add it to your home screen and use it offline. Log income and expenses in seconds from the truck.
- How do suppliers work?
- Save your regular vendors (Sysco, local farms, fuel stops). When adding an expense, pick a supplier and the expense category fills in automatically. Faster entry, cleaner records.
- How many team members can use it?
- The Pro plan includes up to 3 team members. Everyone shares the same organization, locations, and P&L data.
