Transparent Pricing for Food Truck Operators

After 90 days using WasteChef, Maria's 4-truck operation in Austin cut her monthly waste from $3,200 to $1,400—a **$1,800 savings** that more than covered her Growth plan cost. Each additional truck is simply added at $49/month with no per-transaction fees or surprise overages. When Carlos grew from 2 to 6 trucks in 8 months, he upgraded mid-plan with zero downtime. You only pay for what you run.

Absolutely. When David's catering business shifted from 3 trucks to 1 during Q3, he downgraded from Growth to Starter without penalty. Month-to-month flexibility means you're never locked into a commitment that no longer fits your volume. You control the upgrade or downgrade cadence—changes take effect at the next billing cycle, and your data stays intact either way.

The Starter tier includes everything you need to validate WasteChef on a single truck: basic yield tracking, daily summaries, CSV export, and email support. After 2 weeks, Marcus in Denver saw $180 in recoverable waste in the first week alone and upgraded on day 3. Paid tiers unlock real-time alerts, AI prediction, multi-truck management, and webhook integrations that compound in value as you scale.

Before WasteChef, Sarah at Austin Eats spent $4,800/month on a part-time consultant for weekly yield reports—data she often received 3 days after the waste occurred. With WasteChef, she pays $147/month and gets real-time alerts during service when she can still act. Within 90 days, her waste dropped **34%**, recovering the cost difference and then some. The ROI flipped in under 6 weeks.

No. The 14-day trial requires nothing upfront—not even a card on file. You get full access to the Growth tier features so you can run your real trucks with real data before deciding. Marcus told us he 'finally felt comfortable upgrading because the numbers were real, not a sales pitch.' That's the point: validate before you commit.

Your data is yours, always. On cancellation, you receive a full export of your yield history, recipe data, and waste logs in CSV format—no gaps, no lock-in. Sarah used that export to build her own reporting during a 3-month pilot with a local co-packer. After re-activating on Growth, she imported it all back. We designed for operators who might step away and come back; your history travels with you.
