How a POS system works for Food trucks
Think of it as your food truck command centre. It combines two key parts — hardware and software — working seamlessly to help you take orders faster, reduce admin, manage tables, and keep service running smoothly front-of-house and back-of-house.
POS Hardware - Smart, secure, and built for busy food trucks
This is the physical device your customers interact with — like the card machine on your counter or in your hands. Yoco POS devices are built for speed, with features like:
Contactless card payments
Bill splitting and tipping
Seamless checkouts at the counter or the table
Portable options to serve on the move

What is the best POS system for food trucks?
Yoco’s POS system is one of the best for food trucks in South Africa.
It’s built for fast-moving, on-the-go operations — helping you take payments, manage orders, and track sales from one compact device. Each POS machine includes free software, smart hardware, and local support — and keeps running even during loadshedding.
Does the POS system work if the Wi-Fi goes down?
Yes.
All Yoco POS devices come with built-in SIM cards. If your Wi-Fi cuts out, your device stays online using mobile data or a hotspot — so service never stops.
What payment methods does Yoco POS support?
Yoco POS systems accept:
- Visa and Mastercard (debit and credit)
- Apple Pay and Google Pay (on supported devices)
- Tap, chip & PIN
- QR codes and mobile wallets
- Payment links via WhatsApp, email, or social media
You can also use payment links to accept remote payments via WhatsApp, email, or social media.
How long does it take for the money from a sale to reflect in my account?
Most payments reflect within 2 business days — but often much sooner. Need funds instantly? Use Yoco’s instant payout option for a small fee. You’ll always see your transaction history and payout timelines in the Yoco App.
How long does it take to set up my POS hardware?
Setup takes just a few minutes. Your device comes pre-loaded with everything you need — no technician, contracts, or downloads required. Just switch it on and start selling.
Can I print receipts with every Yoco device?
Only the Khumo Print includes a built-in printer. Devices like the Khumo and Yoco Counter support digital receipts via SMS or email. If you're using the Counter, you also have the option to connect it to our external POS printer, sold separately.
Is support available if something goes wrong?
Yes. Our local support team is available to assist you with setup, troubleshooting, or training — via phone, email, or live chat.
What happens if the power goes out?
Yoco devices are designed for the realities of running a business in South Africa. Loadshedding? No problem. Our card machines come with built-in battery backup and mobile connectivity, so you can keep trading even when the lights go out. We’ve built our tech to help you stay open — no matter the challenge.
How fast are transactions?
Payments process in under 3 seconds, allowing you to serve customers quickly — even during peak hours.
On a practical level, the integration between Yoco and Light Speed Tablet is great. The backend functions are really useful when you need to easily pull up a report, it’s incredibly user-friendly. It’s been smooth sailing - I love working with Yoco.

Since we opened our doors, Yoco has been a trusted partner, providing us with a reliable and efficient payment processing solution. Yoco’s user-friendly interface has made transactions smooth and hassle-free, allowing us to focus on what we do best.
Dave Kitley, Sneaker Shack
There’s the obvious simplicity and efficiency of having our point-of-sale system communicate directly with our payment devices. Limiting manual input with the POS directly pushing bill amounts to our Yoco devices mitigates errors and makes life easier, but the direct integration of POS and Yoco payment devices is valuable well beyond this ease and time-saving.
Chad, Father Coffee
I like that Yoco is integrated with our POS system. I love that it’s always working, whether we have loadshedding or not. I LOVE the people that work there and I’m always impressed by the customer service.
