In their own words
CartFlow
CartFlow is back-office software for food trucks, market stalls, coffee carts, caterers and other mobile food businesses. It organizes event applications and bookings alongside staff, packing lists, logistics and event records. CartFlow is not a point-of-sale system; it connects to the POS an operator already uses. Reporting covers profitability by event, product and venue, including year-over-year comparisons. Inventory tools provide live counts, low-stock alerts and per-event stock usage. Sales, stock adjustments and event notes can be recorded offline and sync when a device reconnects. The browser-based service runs on phones, tablets and laptops, and can be installed on a phone home screen without an app store. Listed integrations include Square, SumUp, Zettle, Shopify POS, Lightspeed Retail, Clover, Toast, Loyverse, Xero, Zapier, HNRY via Zapier and Stripe. Free, Pro and Business plans are listed. Pro costs NZ$39 per month and Business costs NZ$79 per month; the pricing note says paid plans start at $29/mo.
