YumScout

FOR TRUCKS, CARTS & STANDS

Go live. Get found. Sell out.

YumScout puts your truck, cart, or stand on a live map the second you open — followers get a ping, hungry people nearby get a nudge, and skip-the-line pickup orders land on your phone.

Flat 7% on pickup orders · $20/mo · 100% of tips are yours

Carne asada sizzling on a street vendor's grill

Keep more of every order.

Delivery apps take 15–30% of every order. YumScout is a flat 7% on pickup orders — that's the whole fee. Your truck, your prices, your customers.

7% flat

on pickup orders — not the 15–30% delivery apps take. Card processing goes to Stripe, not us; the full math is in the FAQ below.

$20/mo

for your live pin, storefront page, order queue, and analytics. Partner code? Your first month is free.

100%

of tips go to you. Every cent, on every order — we never take a fee on tips.

From application to first order

No sales calls, no onboarding webinars, no waiting on an approver. A short application, Stripe's standard checks, and you're cooking.

  1. Apply in the app

    About 10 minutes: name your stand, tell us what you cook, add a photo of your setup. Truck, cart, table — all welcome. No LLC or business license required to apply.

  2. You're in right away

    No waiting on an approver — you get vendor mode immediately. Connect payouts with Stripe (a few minutes, ID and bank details) so order money goes straight to your bank.

  3. Go live and take orders

    One tap and your pin is on the map. Followers get a ping, nearby customers get a nudge, and skip-the-line orders land on your phone.

What your $20 a month buys

On the map the second you open

Tap Go Live and your pin is up. Close the window, tap off. No stale listings, no “is it even open?” — if your pin is up, you’re cooking.

Nearby customers get a nudge

People can ask to be pinged when anyone goes live near them — so brand-new stands get discovered on day one, no following required.

Your followers know first

Every follower gets a push the moment you go live. Your regulars are walking over before the line forms.

Skip-the-line pickup orders

Customers order ahead and pay in the app. You hand food to whoever shows the 4-digit code — no shouting names, no card reader juggling.

Specials that run themselves

Taco Tuesday BOGO, 20% off the slow afternoon — set it once and the discount applies itself at checkout, with a deal badge on your pin.

A page that's actually yours

Instagram-style page with your photos, reviews, and followers — and a link built for a QR sticker on the side of the truck.

Numbers, not guesswork

Revenue, orders, top items, new followers, rating trend — a 30-day dashboard plus live session stats, no spreadsheet required.

Optional radius boosts

From $15 for a 7-day boost: a highlighted pin, featured placement, and go-live pings to everyone in your radius — not just followers.

The honest FAQ

What does it really cost?

$20/month for your spot on the map, plus a flat 7% platform fee on pickup orders. Tips are never touched — 100% go to you. Card processing is separate: Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢ per card payment, same as any card reader, and that goes to Stripe, not us.

Real math on a $20 order: $1.40 to YumScout, 88¢ to Stripe, $17.72 to you. On a delivery app taking 15–30%, the commission alone is $3–6 before processing. There's no contract — cancel and your pin simply comes off the map. Have a partner code? Enter it at checkout for your first month free.

When do I get paid?

Through Stripe Express. Order money lands in your own Stripe account — not ours — and pays out to your bank or debit card automatically, daily by default. You can watch every dollar in the Stripe Express app.

Do I need a POS or extra hardware?

No. Your phone is the whole setup. Orders come into the YumScout app, you tap Accept with a prep time, tap Ready when it's up, and the customer shows a 4-digit code at the window. That's the handoff.

Can I pause orders when I'm slammed?

Yes — one toggle. Your pin stays on the map so people still find you, but ordering switches to “at the window only” until you flip it back on.

Do I need an LLC or business license?

Not to apply. YumScout welcomes everyone from licensed trucks to a weekend tamale table — your local permits are your responsibility, and uploading them is optional (it earns a Verified badge on your page). Stripe does verify your identity before you can take orders, so payouts always go to a real person.

Your next regular is already on the map.
