Frequently Asked Questions

How should food trucks collect customer feedback?

A laminated QR code at the ordering window is the most effective method. Customers scan while waiting for their order and complete a 2–3 question survey in under 30 seconds. For evening events, a QR on the takeaway box also gets great recall.

What questions should a food truck survey include?

Food quality, portion size, service speed, value for money and NPS. Keep it to 3–4 questions for the food truck context — long surveys kill response rate when people are eating standing up.

Can I use surveys to decide which locations and events to keep?

Yes. Tag each response with the venue, festival or office park where feedback was collected. Reports show NPS, ticket size and repeat visits by location, so you can drop the weakest spots and double down on the winners.

How do I run polls about menu changes before paying for new printed boards?

Send a 1-question poll to your Instagram followers and previous-customer list. Vote results within 48 hours give you the data to confidently change the menu — or keep it.

How do I get more Instagram posts and Google reviews?

Show every customer the same links on the thank-you screen, your Instagram tag and your Google Maps review page, whatever their NPS score. Every response also arrives as an instant e-mail notification, so you see low scores right away and can fix the issue before the next stop. Posts from real customers are free marketing.

Does SurveyNinja integrate with food-truck POS systems?

Yes, through Zapier and webhooks. Print a QR code on the receipt or add the survey link to the digital receipt your POS already sends, and send responses to a spreadsheet or your CRM.

How do I survey customers at festivals where I have no WiFi?

Surveys load on the customer's mobile data, so no truck-side WiFi is needed. Responses appear in the dashboard as soon as the customer submits them.

Can I start from a template?

Yes. Start from a template such as Customer Satisfaction Survey, Café Survey for Guest Feedback or NPS Survey and change the questions for street-food service, festivals, the lunch rush, late-night stops and private events.

How can I get a real-time alert when wait time gets out of hand?

Add a "How was the wait?" question. Every response arrives as an instant e-mail (or Telegram) notification, and you can also send responses to Slack through Zapier, so the truck team sees a complaint within minutes. Adjust prep, add a sous chef or pause online orders before the line collapses.

How do I quantify how my truck performs against the competition?

Add 2 optional questions: "Which other food trucks did you consider?" and "Why did you choose us?". Aggregated, it tells you whether you win on speed, price, novelty or social media — invaluable for festival applications.
