Customers text your truck in plain language — Cleverli takes the whole order, collects payment, and sends it straight to your kitchen. It answers every text while your hands are full, so a slammed window never costs you a sale.
Hey! Can I get a smash burger medium well, extra pickles, and a side of fries?

Before You Cook
Built for How Food Trucks Actually Work
You're on the grill, at the window, and running the register — all at once. Cleverli handles every incoming text and call so a customer never walks off just because you were slammed.
Text-to-Order That Just Works
Customers text in plain language — "burger, medium well, extra pickles" — and the AI takes the full order with modifiers and sides, no app for them to download.
Payment Built In
Customers pay by link before you cook — money lands in your account through Square. Tips are captured correctly, so no chasing cash at the window.
Natural Conversations
It handles the back-and-forth like a real order-taker — "what comes on it?", "how long's the wait?", "what's today's special?" — naturally, in your truck's voice.
Pickup Confirmations by Text
Customers get a text with their order details and a heads-up when it's ready for pickup — fewer people crowding your window asking "is it done yet?"
Automatic Upsells
The AI offers the right add-on — fries, a drink, a cookie — on every order. Bigger tickets, zero effort from you, and it only suggests what's on your menu.
One-Tap Open / Closed
Flip your truck open or closed right from your phone. Greasy-thumb-proof — one tap and customers know whether you're taking orders right now.
Set Your Close Time & Last Call
Tell it when you close and it stops taking new orders in time to finish the queue — plus a "last call" mode for the end-of-day rush, so nobody's left waiting on food you can't make.
Answers Customer Questions
"Are you open?", "where are you parked today?", "do you have X?" — the AI answers from what you tell it, so you're not glued to your phone replying to the same questions all day.
Never Lose a Lead
When the AI can't answer something, it takes a message and passes it to you instead of guessing — so a good customer never gets left on read.
Square Integration
Orders go straight into Square
No re-typing an order into your register between customers. When the AI takes a text order, it flows into your Square catalog — modifiers, special requests, and all — like a ticket rung up at the window.
No double entry
Paid orders land in Square within seconds of the customer checking out — your kitchen ticket is ready without you touching the register.
Modifiers & special requests
Medium well, extra pickles, no onions, sauce on the side — the AI carries them onto the ticket the cook actually sees.
We set it up for you
We connect your Square and load your menu during onboarding — no tech skills or developer required on your end.

The Problem
Every missed text is a customer who walks
When you're slammed at the window, texts pile up faster than you can answer them. A hungry customer who doesn't hear back just walks to the next truck — and you never even knew they wanted to order.
Texts pile up unanswered
You can't stop cooking to reply — so orders sit unread and customers move on.
Taking orders pulls you off the grill
Every order you type by hand is time you're not cooking or serving the line.
Cash-only slows the window
Fumbling change and no-shows cost you — customers want to order and pay before they walk up.
Every order
counts when you've got one window and a line out the door
How It Works
From text to paid order, in a couple of minutes
You get a dedicated number customers text to order. No new hardware, no app for anyone to download — just AI that keeps taking orders while you're heads-down cooking.
01
Customer texts your truck
They see your number on Instagram, a sign, or a QR code and text their order in plain language. Mid-rush the AI answers every time — and once you close, it tells them you're done for the day instead of leaving them hanging.
02
AI takes the order & payment
It answers menu questions, builds the order with modifiers, offers an add-on, then sends a pay link so the order's paid before you fire it — no chasing cash at the window.
03
Order lands in Square
Once it's paid, the order drops into your Square catalog with the modifiers and special requests — a clean kitchen ticket, no re-typing between customers.
04
You keep cooking
You stay on the grill and the line keeps moving. When it's ready, the AI texts the customer for pickup — you never stopped to take a single order.
Why AI Order-Taking Works for Trucks
You're one person at a window with a hot griddle. The AI takes the order, takes the money, and hands you a ticket — so the phone stops being a second job.
100%
Orders Paid Before You Cook
A text order isn't finished until it's paid. The AI prices it off your menu, sends a Square payment link, and the ticket doesn't reach your kitchen until the money clears — so you never cook for someone who never shows. Along the way it handles the rest of what eats your day:
Text orders with modifiers and sides
"Are you open?" and "where are you parked today?"
Menu and "do you have X?" questions
Catering and event inquiries (passed to you)
Note: Cleverli is a first-line tool. When it can't answer something, it takes a message and hands it to you rather than guessing. Order accuracy varies with how your menu is set up and how unusual the request is.
Pricing Built for Trucks
A low monthly base plus a small fee per paid order — you only pay more when you're making money. Billing starts on your go-live date, not the day you sign up.
$129 one-time setup — billed at signup, before monthly billing starts. Covers connecting your Square, loading your menu, tuning the AI, and getting your ordering number live. Figures reflect our current food-truck model — to be confirmed before launch.
One simple plan
Cleverli for Trucks

No long-term contract. You pay the monthly base plus a per-order fee only on paid orders — so a slow week costs you next to nothing, and you can cancel any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does pricing work?
A low monthly base plus a small fee on each paid order — so a slow week barely costs you anything and a busy week pays for itself. The per-order rate drops as your volume grows, and there's no long-term contract. (Exact figures are being finalized — your quote confirms them before you sign up.)
What's the $129 setup for?
It covers getting your truck fully configured — connecting your Square, loading your menu and modifiers, tuning the AI to your truck, and getting your ordering number live. It's a one-time charge at signup, and your monthly billing doesn't start until you're live and taking orders.
Do my customers need an app?
No. They text your number from the messaging app already on their phone — no download, no account, no sign-in. It works the same on any phone. That's the whole point: ordering that's as easy as texting a friend.
How do customers pay?
The AI sends a secure pay link once the order's built, so the customer pays before you cook — no chasing cash or fumbling change at the window. Money lands in your account through Square, and tips are captured correctly. You can also let customers pay at pickup if you prefer.
What POS do I need?
Square — the POS most trucks already run. Orders flow into your Square catalog as kitchen tickets, and payments settle through Square. If you're not on Square yet, it's free to set up and we help you connect it during onboarding.
How long until I'm taking orders?
Usually about a week — occasionally longer. The one part we can't rush is the carrier verification for your texting number (that's an outside approval, not us). Everything else — Square, menu, AI tuning — we set up while that's in process, so you're ready to go the moment it clears.
When does monthly billing start?
On your go-live date — the day your AI is live and taking orders. The $129 setup is the only charge at signup; the monthly base and per-order fees don't start until you're actually up and running.
Can I put the number on a QR code and my socials?
That's exactly the idea. Put your ordering number and a QR code on the truck, your menu board, and your Instagram. One text and they're ordering — the more places it's visible, the more orders come in while you cook.
Can it handle a rush of orders at once?
Yes — it talks to every customer at the same time, so ten people texting during your lunch rush all get taken care of at once. There's no hold and no line at the ordering step — the only line is at your window, for the food.
What if I want to cancel?
No long-term contract — cancel any time. You're billed for orders through your last day, and the $129 setup is non-refundable.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, no credit card. You load your menu in the trial portal and then order against it in a built-in text simulator, so you can see exactly how the AI handles your food before you commit. Your real ordering number is set up when you go live, and the setup fee isn't charged until then.
What number do customers text?
We set your truck up with its own dedicated ordering number — put it on your truck, your sign, your Instagram, and a QR code. Customers text (or call) it to order. We handle the setup and carrier paperwork for you.
