Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Check Cherry for your food truck business.

Can I set per-head pricing with minimums?

Yes. Set a per-person rate (like $12/head) and an event minimum (like $500). Check Cherry calculates the total automatically — if the per-head total is under the minimum, clients pay the minimum. They see all of this during booking.

Can I have different pricing for different event types?

Yes. Create separate packages for corporate events, private parties, festivals, and weddings. Each can have different pricing structures — flat rate for corporate lunches, per-head for parties, daily rate for festivals. Clients pick their event type and see only relevant options.

How do I handle travel fees?

Collect the venue address during booking. Check Cherry calculates travel fees by distance (per mile) or by zone. You can also set a service area limit — if the venue is outside your range, clients see a message instead of booking.

Can I track multiple trucks or carts?

Yes. Set up each truck or cart as equipment with availability limits. Check Cherry prevents double-booking — if Truck A is booked on Saturday, it won't be available for another event that day. Assign specific trucks to specific events.

Can clients pay deposits and set up payment plans?

Yes. Set your deposit amount (flat or percentage) and offer payment plans for the balance. Clients can split payments monthly with autopay. Automatic reminders go out before each payment is due.

What about sales tax?

Check Cherry calculates sales tax automatically based on the venue address. Set up your tax rates once for different jurisdictions — it handles the rest.

How much does Check Cherry cost?

Plans start at $39/month with both monthly and discounted annual options. Every plan includes online booking, contracts, invoicing, and payment processing. You can see all options on our pricing page . No hidden fees, no per-transaction charges from us.
