Free Plan · Food trucks

Free accounting for food trucks and small restaurants

Food costs move every week. HelloBooks Free keeps supplier bills, payments and your bank feed in one ledger at $0/mo, so the monthly P&L shows whether the menu is working.

Free Plan with unlimited invoices, bills & quotes — no credit card.

Supplier bills and payments

Enter each supplier bill as it arrives, and record the payment when you make it. AP aging shows which suppliers are due, so nothing is paid late or twice.

Sales in, costs out, one P&L

Card and cash deposits arrive through your live bank feed. Categorize food, packaging, fuel, commissary and permit costs, and the P&L gives you food cost against sales each month.

  • Unlimited invoices, bills and quotes
  • Unlimited email payment reminders
  • 1 live bank feed through Plaid, plus 2 manual bank or card accounts
  • 2 users
  • Free AI credits to get started (upgrade for more)
  • AP/AR aging, P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reports
  • iOS and Android app

When the truck becomes a restaurant

More locations, more staff in the books or more bank accounts mean a paid plan.

Free includes 1 live bank feed, 2 users and free AI credits to get started. Data export, recurring invoices and multi-currency are on paid plans, and invoices sent from Free carry a small “Powered by HelloBooks” badge. Starter is $14.99/mo; Pro is $39.99/mo.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I track supplier bills?
Yes. Bills are unlimited on Free, and AP aging shows what is due.
Does it connect to my POS?
Not on Free. Deposits from your card processor reach you through the bank feed.
Are quotes, invoices and bills limited on Free?
No. Quotes, invoices and bills are unlimited on Free, and so are email payment reminders.
Is it really free, and do I need a credit card?
Yes, it is a permanent $0 plan, not a trial. Sign up with an email; no card is collected and there is no end date.
What happens when the free AI credits run out?
Free includes free AI credits to get started. When they run out you can upgrade for more AI credits or keep categorizing by hand; paid plans can also top up with a credit pack. Invoices, bills, reports and your bank feed keep working either way.
