Digital business card for caterers and food trucks Your hands are covered. The QR is not.
A free card on the counter: customers scan it mid-service, save you, and can leave their number for the wedding enquiry.
Free forever · No card details · About a minute

Example of what happens next: Lucy Fenn scans Nadia’s card, saves Nadia to their contacts and chooses to send their own details back. The next morning at 09:00, Cardr Pro reminds Nadia to follow up, with the email already drafted.
“Do you do weddings?” gets asked mid-service, and lost to the queue. Your hands are not clean and the till comes first. A QR code on the counter or the truck does the handover: they save your card, can send their name and number back, and you keep serving.
One scan. You’re in their phone. They can send theirs.

Example
The counter, mid-service, with a queue behind.
The counter
- Hands not clean
- A queue behind
- Said they would look
Fifteen seconds, no clean hands, and the person asking about a wedding is worth more than the rest of the shift.
- Hands not clean. The enquiry arrives mid-service. Picking up a phone is not one of the options available to you.
- A queue behind. Fifteen seconds before the transaction has to move on, and the person asking is worth more than the rest of the shift.
- Said they would look. An enquiry that leaves as a good intention leaves as nothing. It has to leave as a number.
Each constraint decides the format. A card that fails any one of the three does not get used a second time, however good it looks.

The enquiries that matter arrive at the stall, from somebody who has just eaten and now wonders whether you could do a hundred and twenty covers in September. That conversation happens mid-service.
Everything about that moment argues against picking up a phone. A printed QR on the counter, the menu board or the side of the truck takes you out of it: they scan, they save you, you keep serving.
The return leg makes it worth doing. An enquiry that leaves as a name, a number and a note about September is a booking you can quote. “I’ll look you up” is nothing at all.
Nothing for them to download.

Caterers, answered.
Can I print the QR code on my stall or truck?
Yes, and that is the way to use it. Your QR code is permanent, so it can go on the counter, the menu board, the truck and your invoices. Change your number or menu and the code still works.
Does the customer need an app?
No. Your QR code opens your card as a web page on their phone, iPhone or Android, and they save you to their contacts from there. Nobody downloads an app or creates an account.
How do I capture an enquiry while serving?
The customer scans your code, saves you, and can send you their details on the same page. You do nothing at that moment. After service, the enquiry is waiting as a name, not a half-memory of a green coat.
Can I put allergen information on it?
You can link to it, so people always see the current version. It does not replace the allergen information food law requires where you trade (in England, the Food Information Regulations 2014; see the FSA’s allergen guidance, read 29 October 2026).
What does it cost?
Free forever, no card details: your card, page and Apple Wallet pass, the two-way exchange, and every contact with notes, search and export. Pro, £12 a month or £108 a year (£9 a month), adds drafted quote replies, reminders and all 16 pass designs. 7 days free, then 30 days to change your mind.
Free forever. About a minute to build.
Nothing for the other person to install, and no card details to start.
