Crypto payments for food truck operators
A food truck has one hard constraint: every second at the window is revenue. You don't have a card terminal bolted to a counter, cell signal at a festival is never guaranteed, and customers pay fast or they walk. A QR code laminated to the side of your truck, a Lightning wallet on your phone, and you're taking payments that settle in seconds with no processing fee taken from each sale. No merchant account, no terminal rental, no monthly fee. These guides are built for that setup.
