Kahvelo gives your brewery, taproom, or bar a professional scheduling system. Confirmed bookings are locked. Trucks can't cancel through the app. No per-booking fees — ever.
Booking food trucks over text and DM works until it doesn't. Here's what it's actually costing you.
A truck says yes on Tuesday. You forget by Friday. They show up — or they don't — and there's no record, no reminder, and no accountability.
A text confirmation means nothing. Trucks cancel at the last minute, over DM, and you have no recourse — just an empty Friday and customers expecting food.
Your calendar is a spreadsheet, a Facebook group, and three email threads. Your customers have no idea who's coming when — so they stop checking.
You're always hunting Instagram and local groups for new options. There's no directory, no way to see who's available, no way to be found by trucks looking for venues like yours.
Back-and-forth scheduling, chasing confirmations, updating your social posts every week — it adds up to hours you don't have on something that should run itself.
A missing truck on a Friday night costs you drink sales and customer trust. Right now, there's nothing you can do about it before it happens.
Configure which days and hours you welcome food trucks. Kahvelo publishes your open slots automatically — trucks can see them and request your dates directly.
Invite trucks from the directory, or approve requests from trucks who found your open slot. Pre-approve your regulars for instant self-booking. New trucks go through your queue.
Every confirmed booking appears on your public schedule page automatically. Share it on Instagram. Embed it on your website. Your customers always know who's coming.
Once a truck confirms a booking in Kahvelo, they cannot cancel through the app. They have to contact you directly. No more last-minute ghosting over DM. No more empty Fridays with no warning. Their number is surfaced right in the booking record.
No booking caps at any tier. Gates are feature-based, not usage-based. Book as many trucks as you want.
Every confirmed booking, pending request, and open slot in one view. No more hunting across threads to figure out who's booked for Saturday.
Every venue gets a shareable URL your customers can follow. Share it on Instagram or embed it on your site — it updates automatically when bookings change.
Every booking gets its own message thread. All communication is attached to the booking record — searchable, organized, and permanent. Ditch the texts.
Flag trusted trucks for instant self-booking. They can claim your open slots without waiting for approval — you control who's on the list.
Block trucks who haven't worked out, or restrict your venue to an approved list only. Full control over who can request your dates.
Keep private notes on any truck — parking logistics, contact preferences, past issues. Only you can see them. Like a CRM for your truck roster.
Drop your live truck schedule into your website with a single embed code. Updates automatically when bookings change.
Sync your food truck calendar to Google Calendar. One fewer app to check when you're planning your week.
Manage up to 5 locations from a unified calendar with a shared truck roster. Built for taproom groups and multi-location venue operators.
Book as many trucks as you want. High usage is rewarded, not penalized.
Annual plans save you 2 months free. No credit card required to join the waitlist.
Kahvelo is in development. Drop your details and we'll reach out when we're ready for your city — and give you first access before public launch.
We'll be in touch as Kahvelo launches in your market. No spam — ever.
Yes. Trucks can join Kahvelo, build a profile, manage availability, message venues, and respond to bookings at no cost — always. Optional paid products exist for trucks who want more tools, but they're never required. Free for trucks is a core principle, not a trial offer.
Once confirmed, a truck cannot cancel through the app — they have to contact you directly. This is intentional. Their contact info is surfaced right in the booking record so you can follow up immediately. No more no-shows via DM.
Never. Kahvelo charges a flat monthly subscription. No per-booking fees, no commissions, no transaction percentages. Book as many trucks as you want — your cost doesn't change.
Yes. You can create a stub listing for any truck — on or off Kahvelo — so your schedule stays accurate from day one. When the truck joins, they can claim their listing and inherit all existing booking history. You don't need to wait for your regulars to sign up to get started.
No credit card required to join the waitlist. When we launch, the 14-day venue trial will also be no-card-required — see the full platform before committing.
