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. The dashboard shows NPS, ticket size and repeat-rate by location — drop the bottom 30% 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 turn happy customers into Instagram and Google reviews?

After an NPS 9–10 response, redirect promoters to your Instagram tag page or Google Maps review. Food trucks regularly convert 30–40% of promoters into public posts this way — pure free marketing.

Does SurveyNinja integrate with food-truck POS like Square or Toast?

Yes. Through Zapier and webhooks we connect to Square, Toast and Clover. The survey fires automatically after each transaction with the order details attached.

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

Surveys load on the customer's mobile data — no truck-side WiFi needed. Responses sync to the dashboard the moment they have signal. Works at the most remote festival sites.

Are there ready-made food-truck templates?

Yes. The template library has street-food, festival, lunch-rush, late-night and private-event templates. Each is one-tap installable on your QR.

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

A "How was the wait?" question with Slack alerts pings the truck team within seconds of a complaint. 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.
