The Invoice App Built for Restaurant Packaging Route Drivers
Snap any foodservice packaging invoice. Send digital order sheets to every restaurant, deli, and caterer on your route. Stop managing 400 SKUs on paper.
The Problem with Paper in Restaurant Disposables & Packaging Distribution
Restaurant disposables and packaging distributors carry hundreds of SKUs — containers, cups, lids, wraps, pans, gloves, and more — delivered to the same restaurants your food route drivers already visit. Paper invoices from manufacturers like Dart, Pactiv, and Genpak are dense and hard to track. When a restaurant runs out of their specific takeout container mid-week, they call — or they run dry and order from a competitor next visit. The Full Truck gives your restaurant accounts a digital catalog so they can reorder the exact packaging they need, any time, without a phone call to you.
How It Works for Restaurant Disposables & Packaging Drivers
Three steps to digitize your route. No training required.
1. Snap Your Invoice
Take a photo of any supplier invoice with your phone. Our AI reads every product, price, and quantity — no typing required.
2. Customers Order Digitally
Send each account a digital link to browse your product catalog and place orders from their phone. No app download needed.
3. Track Everything
Every order, every delivery, every account — all in one place. Pull up any customer's history in seconds, any time.
Why Restaurant Packaging Distributors Need a Digital Invoice App
Restaurant disposables distribution is one of the most SKU-dense categories in the route sales industry. A single foodservice packaging route might carry 300 to 500 individual products — takeout containers in 12 different sizes, cups with matching lids, aluminum pans for catering, plastic wraps, butcher paper, gloves, and more. Each restaurant has specific requirements based on their menu, and those requirements change as menus evolve. Managing all of this on paper invoices from multiple manufacturers creates daily administrative burden that grows with every account you add.
The Cross-Sell Opportunity in Restaurant Packaging
Restaurant packaging distributors have a unique advantage: their customers are the same restaurants, delis, bodegas, and caterers that food route drivers already serve. This means the accounts are established, the relationships exist, and the sales visits are already happening. The bottleneck is not customer acquisition — it is order management. When a deli manager can browse your full packaging catalog on their phone and order the exact containers they need for their new menu item, you capture that sale instead of watching them buy it from a competitor at their next supply run.
How The Full Truck Works for Packaging Distributors
The Full Truck's AI invoice scanner reads any foodservice packaging supplier invoice — from Dart Container, Pactiv Evergreen, Genpak, Anchor Packaging, WNA, or any regional wholesaler — and extracts every product, size code, and price automatically. No manual data entry, no spreadsheet maintenance. Your digital catalog updates directly from your supplier invoices. Each restaurant, deli, catering operation, and food service account gets a personalized link to browse your catalog and place orders directly from their phone.
Managing Eco-Friendly and Compostable Packaging Lines
The eco-friendly and compostable packaging segment is growing faster than traditional foodservice disposables, driven by municipal regulations and consumer preference. Independent packaging distributors who carry compostable containers, plant-based cups, and recycled napkins serve restaurants that are under pressure to demonstrate sustainability. Managing two parallel product lines — conventional and eco-friendly — in a paper system is twice the complexity. The Full Truck handles mixed catalogs with the same invoice scanning workflow, giving distributors a single digital catalog that covers their full product range regardless of material type.

What is the best app for restaurant packaging route drivers?
The Full Truck is built for any DSD route driver, including foodservice disposables and restaurant packaging distributors. It scans supplier invoices from manufacturers like Dart, Pactiv, and Genpak to build a digital product catalog, then gives each restaurant and catering account a link to browse your packaging catalog and place orders directly — no phone call needed.
How do packaging distributors manage invoices from multiple manufacturers?
With The Full Truck, packaging distributors photograph any supplier invoice — regardless of manufacturer or format — and the AI extracts every product code, description, and price automatically. Invoices from multiple suppliers can all flow into a single unified catalog that you share with your restaurant accounts.
Can restaurant accounts order specific packaging sizes and SKUs digitally?
Yes. The Full Truck catalog displays your exact products, sizes, and item codes so restaurant managers can find and order the precise containers, cups, and supplies they need. The digital catalog makes it easy to specify the 32oz hinged container versus the 16oz, or the right lid size for a specific cup.
Does The Full Truck work for distributors who carry both conventional and eco-friendly packaging?
Absolutely. The Full Truck handles mixed product catalogs — conventional foam and plastic packaging alongside compostable and sustainable options. Both product lines get organized into a single browsable catalog built from your scanned supplier invoices.
