Best wifi solution for food trucks?

Hi! We currently use Square in all of our locations but have been using square on our phones for the last few years for our ice cream truck. We're hoping to upgrade this season to one of the other square register options and wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations for wifi options on the go. Thanks!

Hello @nonasicecream !

 

Check into your cell phone provider to see if they offer one of those home internet routers. I made the leap to T-Mobile's router for $50/mo for unlimited data. I'm in the process of converting everything in my brick and mortar over to that and dropping my land line (I'm using the 800 number available via Square Messages) and internet connection.

 

Bonus: while you're there, switch your cell plan over to a business account. Since it's a fair bet that your phone is primarily used for business purposes, you should be able to write it off. And, with T-Mobile I can do the two year lease on my devices. At the end of two years I upgrade everything so I can stay on top of the technology and software.
