Moonrise For Shops is the command center for indie food and drink on the move. Whether you're running a food truck, coffee cart, pop-up, café, or storefront, reach customers actively searching for local spots on the Moonrise consumer app — with or without a POS. TWO WAYS TO GET STARTED Link your Square account to sync your catalog, inventory, and orders automatically. Or pick "Get Discovered" and run independent — no POS needed. Built for vendors just getting off the ground. LANDINGS Tell customers exactly where and when you're operating. Plan your route, set your spots, and let hungry locals find you in real time. When you arrive at a Landing, Moonrise notices you're there and goes live automatically. Customers only see you on the map when you're actually at your venue. Schedule today, tomorrow, or next week — give them time to plan. RECURRING LANDINGS Set your week once and let Moonrise handle the rest. Pick your days, times, and venues — every Landing instance generates automatically. Manage it all from My Week. Pause, edit, or cancel a series anytime. VENUES & GIGS Get booked. Breweries, markets, offices, and events are looking for trucks like yours — find open gigs near you, see the estimated sales before you commit, and lock it in with one tap. Apply to an open spot or accept an invite, message the venue directly, and manage every booked gig from one place. Moonrise matches the right trucks to each gig automatically. Hosting a venue? Post your open dates, invite the trucks you want or open them to all applicants, and track every booking from your venue dashboard. Message your vendors, confirm who's coming, and when plans change, automatic cover-swap fills the gap before your guests notice. FLEET MANAGEMENT More than one truck? Add them all under one account. Each gets its own profile, menu, schedule, and live view. Watch your whole fleet move on the map at a glance. TEAM MANAGEMENT Invite your crew with a QR code or shareable link. Assign roles — Owner, Manager, or Crew — with permissions that actually mean something. Decide who can create Landings, manage the menu, configure shops, or change settings. AI MENU SCANNER Snap a photo of your menu board. AI reads it instantly. Review, edit prices, hit publish — your full menu live in seconds. Update items and featured picks anytime. GROW YOUR FOLLOWING Get found by coffee lovers, foodies, and locals already browsing the Moonrise app. Customers track Stardust and Square Loyalty rewards and get nudged when something special is waiting. Stand out with hero photos, sharp headlines, and badges like NEW ITEM, LIMITED, and COLLAB. Early adopters get a Pioneer badge — be one of the first shops in your city. SHARE YOUR WEEK Turn your weekly Landing schedule into a beautiful poster in your brand palette. Pick a style. Share to Instagram. Watch followers turn into Saturday customers. STREAMLINE OPERATIONS Never miss an order with real-time alerts. Pair Moonbeam hardware for audio and visual cues in busy kitchens. Show only the items you want customers to see. Moonrise learns your patterns and suggests your next Landing — based on the venues that work, the hours that hit, and the headlines that pulled. SEAMLESS SQUARE INTEGRATION Connect your Square POS in seconds. Take orders through the system you already trust. No new hardware. No setup headache. Why Moonrise For Shops? Reach the customers who are actually looking. Book paid gigs or fill your venue. One tap to go live, one tap to close. Built for food trucks, coffee carts, farmers market vendors, pop-ups, cafés, and brick-and-mortar shops — and the venues that host them. Restaurant-quality presentation that makes your work shine. No POS? Set up your profile, upload your menu, and start landing. Many stars. One Moon. Available on iPhone and iPad.
