Melba does not predict your sales. FoodTracks integrates weather, location data, and local events to forecast your demand at 92% accuracy — so you prepare exactly what you need.
FoodTracks connects to your SumUp in 2 clicks. All sales sync automatically and stock updates in real time — a level of integration Melba does not offer for mobile food trucks.
FoodTracks starts at €0/month with no time limit. The Pro plan at €29/month is 2.7x cheaper than Melba. Over €600 in annual savings for an independent food trucker.
FoodTracks was built with food truckers. Multi-location management, footfall alerts, stock adapted to your limited space — everything Melba does not do.
FoodTracks is significantly cheaper than Melba. FoodTracks offers a permanent free plan and a Pro plan at €29/month. Melba starts at around €79/month per venue with no free plan — saving independent food truckers over €600 per year.
Melba is designed for traditional restaurants with fixed kitchens, kitchen brigades, and detailed recipe costings. It is powerful for sedentary establishments but does not account for food truck-specific constraints: mobility, variable locations, and fluctuations driven by weather or local events. FoodTracks is the only solution built exclusively for this model.
Yes. FoodTracks natively integrates with SumUp, the most widely used payment terminal by food truckers in France. Your sales are automatically synced and stock updates in real time after every transaction. Melba has POS integrations but no native SumUp connection built specifically for mobile food trucks.
Yes. FoodTracks uses a specialised AI engine that combines your sales history, real-time weather, location type, and local events to forecast demand with 92% accuracy. Melba offers cost and production tracking tools, but not contextualised sales predictions for an itinerant food truck.
Yes. FoodTracks can import your products and history via CSV, or rebuild your catalogue by scanning your supplier invoices. The guided onboarding gets you operational in under 30 minutes, with free human support included.
For starting a food truck, FoodTracks is the obvious choice: free plan, 30-minute onboarding, and features built for your mobile daily life. Melba is a robust solution for sedentary restaurateurs with kitchen teams, but its cost and learning curve are not suited to launching a food truck.
