One QR code on your truck. Change where it points anytime.
You paid for the truck wrap once. But your menu changes weekly, your location changes daily, and your prices change whenever your suppliers' do. A regular QR code printed on the wrap points at one fixed URL forever — the day you rebuild your menu page, switch link tools, or move your schedule to a new site, every code on your wrap, window cling, and A-frame goes dead.
A ScanTrail QR code encodes a permanent short link instead of a direct URL. The printed code never changes; the destination does. Point it at today's menu before service, swap it to your location pin when you park somewhere new, switch it to your catering form in the off-season — all from your phone, without touching anything that's already printed.
You also get to see what happens after you park: scans per day, what time of day people scan, and what device they're on. If nobody scans the code on the passenger side, now you know.

Reprint your menu, not your wrap
A wrap or decal is a one-time print job, and ScanTrail keeps it valid forever. When your menu moves to a new page or your schedule moves to a new tool, you edit the code's destination in your dashboard and the printed code keeps working. No sign shop, no vinyl, no downtime.
See which spots and hours actually drive scans
Every code tracks scans per day and a time-of-day histogram, plus country and device. That tells you whether the lunch crowd at the brewery scans more than the Saturday market crowd, which is useful when you're deciding where to park next week. Pro adds full history and CSV export if you want to line it up against sales.
Fast scans in a crowded festival lot
Customers scan with their phone camera — no app to install. Redirects are served from Cloudflare's edge network, so the hop from scan to menu is quick even on congested event Wi-Fi and cell networks.
Vector files that survive a ten-foot wrap
Download your code as SVG and it scales cleanly from a sticker on the service window to a full side-of-truck panel — no pixelation at print size. Pro lets you set custom QR colors so the code matches your truck's branding instead of breaking it.
How to set it up
- Create a free ScanTrail account at forever-scan.com. The free plan includes 3 dynamic codes — enough for a menu code, a location code, and one spare.
- Create a dynamic code and point it at wherever your menu lives right now: a PDF, a Google Doc, your Instagram, an ordering page. You can change this later, so don't overthink it.
- Download the code as SVG for your wrap or decal printer (it scales to any size) or PNG for flyers, table tents, and social posts.
- Send the file to your sign shop and print it anywhere on the truck. The code encodes a permanent short link, so nothing you print will go stale.
- When the menu or location changes, log in and edit the destination. The printed code stays exactly the same — only where it sends people changes.
Common questions
What happens to my QR code if I stop paying?
It keeps working. The free plan includes 3 working dynamic codes, so if you cancel Pro your codes don't go dead — up to 3 keep redirecting, with the last 7 days of analytics. For a single truck running a menu code and a location code, the free plan may be all you ever need.
How much does this cost?
Free gets you unlimited static QR downloads (SVG/PNG, no account needed), 3 dynamic codes, and 7 days of analytics. Pro is $1/month or $10/year and adds 1,000 dynamic codes, full analytics history, custom QR colors, and CSV export. There's no per-scan charge.
Do customers need an app to scan it?
No. The built-in camera on any modern phone scans the code, and the redirect happens through the browser. There's nothing for your customers to install and nothing for you to explain at the window.
Can one code handle both my menu and my location schedule?
A code points at one destination at a time, but you can change it as often as you want — some operators point it at the menu during service and at next week's schedule after close. If you'd rather not juggle, use two of your three free codes: one printed by the window for the menu, one on the wrap for where to find you.
What file should I give my wrap printer?
The SVG. It's a vector file, so your printer can scale it to any panel size without it getting blurry. Use the PNG for anything on-screen — Instagram posts, your website, or a quick flyer.
