Frequently Asked Questions

Who can use Fast Food Cart?
Fast Food Cart is specifically built for anyone who needs to sell food, drink or entertainment online or via mobile. It's ideally suited to restaurants, fast food outlets, cafes, bistros and catering companies. It can also be used for any grocery, bakery or coffee shop. We are built for use at festivals to help manage queues and ordering delays.
I already sell online. Why use Fast Food Cart?
Fast Food Cart is not a restaurant aggregator. When you sell online via aggregators you will spend 10% - 20% in addition to your transaction costs on every order you sell. Fast Food Cart enables you to build your own online client base, access their details, accelerate sales and reduce the sales cost. You should use Fast Food Cart in parallel to your other online marketing activities and grow your client base by providing them with better prices for your food when they order from you directly. We can save restaurants many thousands of pounds a year and provide them with the best online food sales platform available.
Can I use my existing website?
Yes. You can use your Fast Food Cart on your existing website by adding a new menu item to work with your new ordering system. You can even use your own domain name or a sub domain.
Can I import my menu and prices from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Download our example menu spreadsheet to see how to structure yours. Save it as a CSV and you can import your menu or make updates to all your prices at any time.
Do I need a website?
No. Fast Food Cart can be used as your whole website. We would however advise you to integrate it will a simple content management system as this will improve your search engine optimisation and provide you with additional online marketing advantages. Our development partners can help you set one up as part our higher level subscription options.
How long will it take to set up?
As soon as you register for your free trial our team will open an account for you and send you your new access details. It will take about a minute or so to add each menu item depending on its options and pricing structure. You can start selling your menu items as soon as you connect your payment gateway details to your Fast Food Cart. You get paid directly from all your online orders. Your only other costs on each order are your credit card processing fees which are set by your bank or card processor. Fast Food Cart will only charge you a setup fee and the monthly subscription associated with your plan after your 15 day trial.
How long is the contract?
It's a monthly rolling contract. You can cancel your payments at any time and your account will be deactivated. If your payment fails on your credit card your account will be suspended. If no payment is received within your account will be deleted after 30 days.
What does it cost to be reactivated again if my account is susspended ?
If your account is suspended you will be charged a one off administration fee of £100 to have your account reactivated again.

Can I keep using other restaurant aggregators at the same time?
Yes. Restaurant aggregators will cost you a commission on every sale they generate, but they are a great way of taking your product to new clients. Think of them as a marketing expense. Your goal is to get as many new clients to use you and then transition them onto Fast Food Cart for all repeat sales as a loyal customer.
I already sell online via my website. Why do i need Fast Food Cart?
You may already be selling online but have you calculated its ongoing cost. You will have ongoing development costs, hosting costs and transaction fees too. With no sales commission and a low monthly subscription, Fast Food Cart takes the stress out of your online sales. Your Fast Food Cart is updated automatically, improved constantly, hosted and managed with no additional expense to yourself. Even our payment processors will give you the lowest transaction fees of 1.4% + 20p saving you even more per order. Talk to us. We will match or beat your current ongoing sales and development costs.

Your banking fees come down to the provider you select for payment. The fees are not set by Fast Food Cart and you will be paid directly by your payment partner. If you use Stripe, for instance, the cost for processing European credit cards will be 1.4% + 20p for each transaction you process via them (as of 14 Aug 2018) . Please check your payment partners website for their current processing rates.
What is the 1.4% + 20 transaction fee? Who is paid this?
Depending on who you use to process your online payments you will have a banking fee / transactional fee associated with each payment that is made to you. Generally this fee is bout 3.4% + 20p per transaction if you are using a payment gateway. We however recommend using Stripe for your payment processing as it accepts all credit cards and saves you a small fortune on your per transaction fees. Stripe costs 1.4% + 20p for European card payment processing. The fee is paid by you directly to your chosen payment processor. Fast Food Cart charge you no per order commission. You deal with your earnings, sales and money directly.
