Unfortunately, there are some payment systems that cannot be trusted. They will either add additional charges to your card or leak your personal information. When purchasing from a food truck it is important to check out their point of sale (POS) system. Systems like Square are owned by a separate, more secure, company that you can trust. If a truck’s POS system is unfamiliar to you, consider paying with cash to limit the chance of stolen information.
Food trucks offer a unique dining experience. They offer the small business experience with specialty foods. Feel confident eating their food when the exterior is well maintained, kitchen appliances are clean, and they have implemented a trustworthy POS system.
