The status tells the time.
Opens at 11:30 AM. Open until 2:30 PM. Closing in 20 min. Closed for today. The board works it out from your hours and checks again every 30 seconds, so a board left open on a phone stays right.
FOR FOOD TRUCKS
Where we're parked. What's left.
Chalkline is the daily board for your food truck. Post today's spot and hours in one tap, flip a switch the moment the brisket runs out, and send customers a link before they walk over.
Free. No account. Lives on your phone.

A food truck moves. Your regulars shouldn't have to guess.
They don't know where you parked today, whether you're open yet, or whether the brisket's already gone. So they walk over and leave disappointed, or they don't come at all. Meanwhile you're at the window, with no time to post every time something runs out.
Are they out today?Still open?Any brisket left?
Chalkline answers all three.
HOW IT WORKS
One tap in the morning. One tap when it's gone.
-
8:40 AM
Post today's board.
Set your spot and hours. Yesterday's location and times are already filled in, so a regular day is one tap on Post today's board.

12:55 PM
Flip it when it's gone.
Every item has one big switch. Brisket's out? Flip it. Wrong item? Flip it back. Tomorrow it's back on sale by itself.

5 ITEMS · 0 SOLD OUT
Sell out everything and see what customers get.
Shared links are snapshots. Change something, then share again. Nothing is uploaded: the whole board is in the link.
WHAT'S IN THE TRUCK
Small on purpose. Built for the window.
Sold out stays on the board.
Gone items stay in place, struck through and stamped, so customers see what they missed and what's still there.
Back on sale tomorrow.
Sold out only counts for today. Tomorrow morning everything is available again. There's nothing to reset.
A screen at the window.
Prop a tablet on the counter, tap Show board, and walk-up customers see what's left.
Prices, typed loosely.
Type 8, 8.5 or $8.50. Chalkline shows $8.50. Typos get a clear note, not a broken menu.
No account. No server. No monthly fee.
Your menu lives on your phone. Light and dark follow your phone's setting, and everything works with a screen reader: status and sold-out are always words, never just colour.
- Phone-first
- Light & dark

A word on what it isn't
Chalkline isn't an ordering system, a map or a social network. It doesn't take payments and it doesn't track anyone. It puts your spot, your hours and what's left in one place you can share, and that's all it does.
Post tomorrow's board tonight.
Set up your menu once. Every morning after that it's one tap.
