Visit the food truck at the designated location during pickup hours 4. Present your order information 5. Both you and the operator confirm the handoff Pick up each week for the full 4-week duration.

Private events are a way for companies and organizations to book food trucks for their guests at offices, gatherings, and special occasions. When an organizer submits an event request, our admin team reviews it, creates an event, and invites food trucks to participate. Getting event-approved: Before you can be invited to private events, your food truck needs to be event-approved by our team. This is a separate step from your regular marketplace approval. Here's how it works: 1. Get approved as a vendor on the platform (regular marketplace approval) 2. Our admin team reviews your profile, menu quality, and reliability 3. When approved for events, you'll receive a notification and see an "Event Approved" badge on your public profile 4. Event managers can now see your badge and consider you for upcoming events Event approval means our team has confidence in your ability to handle the logistics of private events — consistent food quality, reliable show-up rate, and professional service. Keep your profile and menu up to date to maintain your event-approved status. Once you're event-approved, here's how private events work: 1. You receive an invitation (email + in-app notification) with the event details 2. You review the date, location, headcount, and any cuisine preferences 3. You accept or decline the invitation 4. If you accept, you add your event menu items to the event market 5. Guests pre-order from your menu 1-2 days before the event 6. You arrive on event day with everything prepped based on the exact orders you received The key benefit: you know exactly how many people to feed and exactly what they ordered. No guessing, no waste, and guaranteed revenue from committed headcount.

When you're invited to a private event, you'll receive an email and an in-app notification with the event details. To respond: 1. Open the event invitation from your notifications or the link in your email 2. Review the event details — date, time, location, expected headcount, and any cuisine preferences or dietary requirements the organizer has requested 3. Check your estimated headcount per truck (total headcount divided by the number of trucks participating) 4. Add any notes or questions for the organizer (optional) 5. Tap "Accept" to commit or "Decline" to pass Important things to know: • You can only respond once — make sure you can commit before accepting • Accepting means you're committing to show up on the event date • You'll see how many other trucks are participating so you can estimate your portion of the headcount • If you have questions about the event before responding, reach out to us via the Support page

After accepting an event invitation, you need to add specific menu items to the event market. This is your event menu — a focused selection of what you want to serve at this particular event. Marking items as event-ready: As an event-approved vendor, you'll see an "Available for Events" checkbox when editing any of your menu items. Checking this box does two things: 1. Adds an "Event Ready" badge to the item on your public listing page — so event managers browsing your menu can quickly see which items you offer for events 2. Signals to our team and event organizers that this item is suitable for high-volume, event-style service To mark items as event-ready: 1. Go to your Vendor Dashboard and open Listings 2. Edit the listing you want to mark 3. Scroll down to find the "Available for Events" checkbox (below the allergen section) 4. Check the box and save Tips for choosing which items to mark: • Pick items that scale well — things you can prep in bulk and serve quickly • Include crowd-pleasers that work for a wide audience • Consider items that travel well and hold temperature • Don't mark everything — a focused event menu of 4-8 items is more appealing than your entire catalog • You can change which items are marked at any time Setting up your event menu for a specific event: Once you've accepted an event invitation: 1. Go to your Vendor Dashboard 2. Make sure the items you want to offer are published as listings (create new ones if needed) 3. Visit the event market page (linked from your event invitation) 4. Add your listings to this event market Tips for a great event menu: • Start with your event-ready items — they're already flagged as suitable • Include at least one vegetarian option if the organizer mentioned dietary needs • Consider the headcount — if you're feeding 50 people, simpler items that scale well work best • Price items as you normally would — guests pay for their own meals • Make sure your inventory/quantity is set high enough to handle the expected orders You don't have to add your entire menu. Pick the items that work best for a high-volume, event-style service. Your regular menu at your regular locations stays unchanged.

Private events use our pre-order system so you know exactly what to prepare before you arrive. How it works: 1. The organizer shares the event market link with their guests 2. Guests browse participating trucks and place orders 1-2 days before the event 3. Each guest selects a pickup time window (e.g., 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 12:30) 4. Orders are cut off before the event so you have time to prep 5. You can see your complete order list grouped by pickup time from your dashboard On event day: • Arrive at the location with everything prepped based on your order list • Guests pick up in waves based on their chosen time slot — no 100-person rush • Each order is already paid for, so there's no payment handling at the truck • Confirm pickups through the app as guests collect their food The pre-order cutoff gives you time to shop for ingredients and prep. You'll know the exact quantities of every item ordered.

Here's a checklist to make your private event go smoothly: Before the event: • Review your final order list (available in your dashboard after the pre-order cutoff) • Prep all items based on exact order quantities • Check the event details for setup instructions — parking location, power availability, and any access restrictions • Plan to arrive 30-60 minutes before the first pickup time window At the event: • Set up at the designated location per the setup instructions • Have your order list ready (phone or printed) • Guests will arrive in waves during their chosen time slots • Confirm each pickup through the app as guests collect their food • Most private events run 2-3 hours (e.g., 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM) After the event: • Make sure all orders are marked as picked up or handled • Pack up and clean your area Tips: • Bring signage with your truck name so guests can find you easily • If the organizer provided setup instructions (parking spot, power hookup), follow them • Time slots spread out the crowd — you won't get everyone at once • If a guest doesn't pick up their order, mark it accordingly in the app

Private event payments work the same as regular orders on the platform: • Guests pay for their own meals when they pre-order (you don't handle any payments at the event) • Standard platform fees apply (same as your regular orders) • Payouts are deposited to your connected Stripe account on the regular schedule • You can track event earnings in your Vendor Dashboard The organizer books the event and invites guests to order, but each guest pays individually. This means you get paid per order, just like your regular market sales. Why private events are great for your bottom line: • Guaranteed headcount — you know how many people will be ordering • Pre-orders mean zero waste — you prep exactly what's been ordered • Events tend to have higher average order values • Repeat business — organizers who have a good experience often book again

As a marketplace facilitator under Texas law, 815 Enterprises collects and remits applicable sales tax on all transactions processed through the platform. This means you do not need to separately collect sales tax from buyers on orders placed through our marketplace. This page explains how sales tax works on the platform and what you still need to do as a Texas-based vendor. ## How Sales Tax Works on the Platform When a buyer places an order through the platform, sales tax is automatically calculated based on: - **The product category** — some items are taxable and some are exempt under Texas law - **The pickup location** — Texas sales tax rates vary by city and county (6.25% state base rate plus up to 2% local rate, for a maximum of 8.25%) The platform adds sales tax as a separate line item at checkout. The buyer pays the tax as part of their total. The platform collects the tax and remits it to the Texas Comptroller on your behalf. **You do not need to calculate, collect, or remit sales tax on platform transactions.** ## What Is Taxable in Texas? ### Food Trucks — All Items Are Taxable All prepared food sold for immediate consumption is subject to Texas sales tax. This includes hot foods, cold prepared items, beverages, and any food served with utensils. The platform automatically marks all food truck listings as taxable. Pre-packaged food items that you did not produce (chips, bottled water, etc.) are not permitted on the platform. ### Farmers Markets — Depends on the Product Category **Exempt from sales tax (food for home consumption):** - Fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, herbs) - Dairy products and eggs - Pantry items (jams, honey, sauces, pickles) - Raw and frozen meats (not cooked or heated) - Baked goods sold for take-home (whole loaves, bags of cookies, whole pies) **Subject to sales tax:** - Prepared foods sold for immediate consumption (hot food, individual servings with utensils) - Plants and flowers - Health and wellness products (soaps, lotions, candles) - Art, crafts, and home goods - Cooked or heated meat products (smoked brisket plates, rotisserie chicken) - Baked goods sold as individual servings for immediate consumption (slice of pie with a fork) When you create a listing, the platform automatically determines the tax status based on your product category. For categories where it depends on how the item is served (meat and baked goods), the platform asks a simple question to determine the correct treatment. ## What You Still Need to Do Even though the platform collects and remits sales tax on marketplace transactions, Texas law requires vendors to: 1. **Maintain a Texas sales tax permit** — You must register with the Texas Comptroller and obtain your own sales tax permit. You can apply for free at the Texas Comptroller website (comptroller.texas.gov). Having a permit does not mean you owe additional tax on platform sales — it is a registration requirement. 2. **Report marketplace sales on your tax return** — When you file your Texas sales tax return, you should report platform sales as marketplace sales. The Texas Comptroller provides specific lines on the return for marketplace provider transactions. These sales are reported but the tax has already been collected and remitted by the platform. 3. **Collect tax on non-platform sales** — If you make sales outside the platform (walk-up cash sales at your booth, direct orders not placed through the app), you are responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax on those transactions yourself. 4. **Keep records** — You are required to maintain sales records for at least as long as applicable federal and state law requires. The platform provides sales reports and analytics in your vendor dashboard that can help with your recordkeeping. ## Using the Platform for Tax Records - **Sales reports** — Your vendor dashboard shows total sales, taxable vs. non-taxable breakdowns, and sales by date range. - **Order history** — Every order shows whether tax was collected and the amount. - **CSV export** — Download your sales data for your accountant or tax records (available on Pro and Boss tier plans). ## Important Notes - The platform collects and remits Texas sales tax as a marketplace facilitator under Texas Tax Code Section 151.0242. - Sales tax is calculated on the product price. Platform service fees are separate from the taxable amount. - Tax rates are determined by the pickup location, not the buyer's home address. - The platform's tax collection applies only to transactions processed through the marketplace. Sales made outside the platform are your responsibility. - Tax laws can change. The platform updates its tax calculations as required by law. For questions about your specific tax situation, consult a tax professional or contact the Texas Comptroller at 1-800-252-5555. ## Helpful Resources - Texas Comptroller — Sales Tax: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/sales/ - Texas Comptroller — Marketplace Providers and Sellers: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/sales/marketplace-providers-sellers.php - Apply for a Sales Tax Permit: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/permit/ - Texas Cottage Food Law FAQ: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/foods/cottage-food-production

Food Truck'n is a platform that connects hungry locals with food trucks in their area. You can browse menus, pre-order your favorite dishes, and skip the line at pickup. We support food truck parks, regular stops, and private service locations.

Our platform connects local vendors — farmers, artisans, food trucks, and small businesses — with customers in their community. Vendors list their products online, and customers can browse, pre-order, and pick up at local markets, events, or private pickup locations. Think of it as a way to shop local, but smarter. You know exactly what will be available, your items are reserved for you, and you skip the guesswork at the market. The platform currently supports two verticals: • Farmers Marketing — for farmers markets, farm stands, and local producers • Food Truck'n — for food trucks and mobile food vendors

Use the location search on the homepage or browse page. Enter your ZIP code or allow location access, and we'll show you food trucks within your selected radius (2, 5, 10, or 25 miles). Results are sorted by distance so the closest trucks appear first.

Creating an account is free and takes less than a minute: 1. Visit the platform and tap "Sign Up" 2. Enter your name, email address, and create a password 3. Verify your email address by clicking the link we send you 4. You're in! Start browsing vendors and products You can create a shopper account to browse and order, or apply for a vendor account if you want to sell. Tip: You can browse products without an account, but you'll need one to place orders.

There are several ways to find vendors in your area: 1. Enter your ZIP code or city on the browse page 2. Allow location access when prompted — we'll show vendors nearest to you 3. Browse the Markets page to find markets and events in your area 4. Use the search bar to find specific products or vendor names Your location preference is saved so you don't have to enter it every time. You can change it anytime by updating your location on the browse page.

You can browse menus and locations without an account. To place an order, you'll need to sign up with your email. It takes less than a minute and lets you track orders, save favorites, and get notifications when your food is ready.

No! You can browse vendors, products, and markets without creating an account. However, you will need an account to: • Place orders • Save favorite vendors • Receive order notifications • Leave reviews Creating an account is free and only takes a minute.

Our platform hosts a variety of local vendors, including: Farmers Marketing: • Produce growers (fruits, vegetables, herbs) • Bakers and cottage food producers • Dairy and egg producers • Meat and poultry vendors • Artisans (crafts, art, handmade goods) • Plant and flower sellers • Prepared food vendors Food Truck'n: • Food trucks and mobile food vendors • Pop-up kitchen operators • Catering-style meal prep services All vendors go through an approval process before they can list products on the platform.

1. Find a food truck near you 2. Browse their menu and add items to your cart 3. Choose your preferred pickup time 4. Complete checkout with secure payment 5. Head to the truck at your pickup time — your food will be ready!

Yes! You can add items from different food trucks to your cart. Each truck's items will be grouped as a separate order so you can pick up from each truck independently.

We accept all major credit and debit cards through our secure payment system powered by Stripe. All transactions are encrypted and your card details are never stored on our servers.

You can cancel an order before the food truck confirms it. Once confirmed, the truck has already started preparing your food. If you need to cancel a confirmed order, contact the truck directly through the app and they can process a cancellation if the food hasn't been prepared yet.

Placing an order is simple: 1. Browse products from vendors in your area 2. Tap "Add to Cart" on items you want 3. Review your cart — you can adjust quantities or remove items 4. Choose your pickup location and time (if applicable) 5. Proceed to checkout 6. Enter your payment information (secure, encrypted processing) 7. Confirm your order After you order, the vendor receives a notification and will confirm they can fulfill it. You'll get a notification when your order is confirmed and again when it's ready for pickup.

Your order goes through several stages: • Paid — Your payment has been processed. Waiting for vendor to confirm. • Confirmed — The vendor has confirmed they can fulfill your order. • Ready — Your items are prepared and ready for pickup. • Fulfilled — Both you and the vendor have confirmed the handoff. Complete! • Cancelled — The order was cancelled (by you or the vendor). • Refunded — A refund has been issued to your payment method. You can check your order status anytime in your Orders page.

Pickup is simple and takes just a minute: 1. You'll receive a notification when your order is ready 2. Go to the market or pickup location during the scheduled hours 3. Find the vendor's booth or location 4. Show your order information to the vendor 5. The vendor verifies your order and hands over your items 6. You both confirm the handoff in the app It's important that both you and the vendor confirm — this protects both parties and ensures accurate record-keeping. Tip: Have your phone charged and the app open when you arrive at the market.

Mutual confirmation is how we verify that the handoff happened: 1. After the vendor gives you your items, tap "Acknowledge Receipt" in the app 2. The vendor sees a prompt and taps "Yes, I Handed It Off" within 30 seconds 3. Both of you see a green confirmation screen — you're done! Why does this matter? • Payment is not released to the vendor until both parties confirm • It protects you if there's a dispute about whether you received your items • It protects the vendor by proving they fulfilled the order If something is wrong with your order, tap "I Did Not Receive This" instead of confirming.

Yes, but the timing matters: Before vendor confirms: • Cancel for free — full refund, no questions asked After vendor confirms (within grace period): • Cancel for free during the initial grace period after placing your order After vendor confirms (past grace period): • A 25% cancellation fee applies — the vendor has already started preparing your order • You receive a 75% refund Please cancel as early as possible if your plans change. Vendors prepare items specifically for your order, and late cancellations mean wasted food and effort. To cancel, go to your Orders page and tap "Cancel Order" on the order you want to cancel.

If you don't pick up your order during the scheduled window: • The vendor may mark the order as a no-show • You will not receive a refund for missed pickups • Repeated no-shows may result in account restrictions If you know you can't make it, cancel the order before the cutoff time to avoid the no-show penalty. You can also contact the vendor directly to arrange an alternative if possible. Tip: Enable push notifications so you get reminded about upcoming pickups.

Yes! You can add items from multiple vendors to your cart in a single shopping session. Here's how it works: • Each vendor's items become a separate order at checkout • You'll see each vendor's items grouped together in your cart • Payment is processed for all orders at once • Each vendor confirms and fulfills their portion independently • You'll pick up from each vendor separately at the market This means you might have different pickup times or locations for different vendors' items.

If there's an issue with your order at pickup: Missing items: • Tap "I Did Not Receive This" instead of confirming receipt • Talk to the vendor directly — most issues can be resolved on the spot Wrong items: • Work it out with the vendor at their booth • The vendor can make corrections or substitutions Quality concerns: • Raise the issue with the vendor directly at the time of pickup • The vendor is responsible for product quality Vendor not present: • Check the market schedule for the vendor's hours • Contact the vendor using the information on your order details • If you cannot reach the vendor, contact our support team For any unresolved issues, visit our support page to submit a request.

We support several payment methods to make buying and selling convenient: Online Payments (processed at checkout): • Credit & Debit Cards — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover are accepted on every order. Payments are processed securely through Stripe. In-Person Payments (arranged between buyer and vendor): • Venmo — If a vendor has linked their Venmo, you can pay via Venmo at pickup. • Cash App — If a vendor has linked their Cash App, you can pay via Cash App at pickup. • PayPal — If a vendor has linked their PayPal, you can pay via PayPal at pickup. • Cash — Some vendors accept cash at pickup. Look for the "Cash" badge on their profile. Each vendor chooses which payment methods they accept. You can see their accepted methods on their vendor profile and on each listing. You can also filter the Vendors page by payment method to find vendors that accept your preferred way to pay. Note: In-person payment methods (Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Cash) are arranged directly between you and the vendor at pickup. The platform processes card payments only.

A small service fee is added to each order to cover payment processing, platform maintenance, and customer support. Here is how it works: Buyer Service Fee: • 6.5% of your order subtotal, plus a $0.15 per-order flat fee • This is added to the prices you see at checkout • Example: A $20.00 order would have a $1.30 percentage fee + $0.15 flat fee = $1.45 in fees, for a total of $21.45 Small Order Fee: • Farmers Marketing: Orders with a displayed subtotal under $10.00 have an additional $1.00 small order fee • Food Truck'n: Orders with a displayed subtotal under $5.00 have an additional $0.50 small order fee • This fee helps cover the fixed costs of processing smaller transactions • Tip: Add one more item to get above the threshold and avoid this fee Vendor Service Fee: • Vendors pay a matching 6.5% + $0.15 fee on the base price of each order • This is deducted from their payout automatically All fees are shown transparently at checkout before you confirm your order. There are no hidden charges.

You can add a tip to any order during checkout. Tips are a great way to show appreciation for your vendor's work. How tipping works: • Choose a tip percentage (10%, 15%, 20%) or enter a custom amount at checkout • Your tip is calculated on the displayed subtotal (the prices you see including the service fee markup) • The tip is added to your total charge Where does the tip go? • The vendor receives the tip on the base food cost of your order • A small portion of the tip that corresponds to the platform service fee is retained by the platform • No additional processing fees are taken from tips beyond this split Tips are completely optional but always appreciated. They go a long way in supporting the local vendors you love.

Refund situations depend on the circumstances: Order cancelled before vendor confirms: • Full refund issued automatically Order cancelled after vendor confirms (past grace period): • 75% refund (25% cancellation fee applies) Quality or fulfillment issues: • Contact the vendor directly first — they handle product-related issues • If unresolved, contact our support team for assistance Refunds are processed back to your original payment method. Please allow 5-10 business days for the refund to appear on your statement.

There is no hard minimum order amount — you can place an order of any size. However, a small order fee applies to help cover the fixed costs of processing smaller transactions: Farmers Marketing: • Orders with a displayed subtotal under $10.00 have a $1.00 small order fee added • Once your displayed subtotal reaches $10.00, the fee is automatically removed Food Truck'n: • Orders with a displayed subtotal under $5.00 have a $0.50 small order fee added • Once your displayed subtotal reaches $5.00, the fee is automatically removed The "displayed subtotal" is the sum of item prices you see in your cart (which already includes the service fee markup). This fee is shown clearly at checkout, so there are no surprises. Tip: If you are close to the threshold, adding one more item will often push you over and remove the small order fee entirely.

When you place an order, you select a preferred pickup time within the truck's operating hours. The truck prepares your food so it's ready when you arrive. Just head to the truck, give your name or order number, and grab your food — no waiting in line!

Food trucks update their locations and schedules on our platform. If a truck has moved or isn't available, you'll receive a notification. You can always check the truck's current location and schedule on their profile page.

Food trucks can be found at: • Food Truck Parks — designated areas where multiple trucks gather • Service Locations — regular stops where a truck parks on a schedule • Events — special appearances at festivals, markets, or private events Each location shows the truck's operating hours and schedule.
