The "Ghost Kitchen Gridlock" Problem
Manual order syncing across POS, Uber Eats, and DoorDash eats your peak-hour efficiency, turning Friday night rushes into chaotic order backlogs
Inventory mismatches between your POS and suppliers lead to emergency runs for proteins or wasted fresh ingredients like produce spoiling overnight
Scaling deliveries means hiring more gig drivers for Grubhub and Postmates but no real oversight on route optimization or food temperature compliance
Customer complaints about late burritos or cold pizzas pile up without a way to track satisfaction trends across your online review channels
Subscription overload from Toast POS, HubSpot CRM, and multiple delivery apps drains your margins with overlapping fees for kitchen data integration
Demand forecasting fails during viral menu trends like your loaded fries going TikTok-famous, causing overstaffing chaos in the prep line

We've engineered solutions for over 50 food service ops, turning fragmented workflows into scalable powerhouses.

What Makes Us Different:
Why This Scales Your Ghost Kitchen
Unlimited Growth Without Tech Limits
Unlimited Growth Without Tech Limits: Hit those expansion goals—like launching a new poke bowl virtual brand. Our system absorbs surging orders, jumping from 200 to 2,000 daily DoorDash tickets without crashing, built on robust architecture that scales with your menu expansions or multi-location ghost kitchens.
Enterprise Scalability on a SMB Budget
Enterprise Scalability on a SMB Budget: You're not a Fortune 500, but you deserve big-league tech for handling high-volume burger flips. We craft solutions that manage enterprise-level order and inventory data flows, cutting your costs by 50% compared to stacked subscriptions while prepping you for multi-kitchen scaling across neighborhoods.
No Bottlenecks in Peak Operations
No Bottlenecks in Peak Operations: Picture this: a viral TikTok pushes 500 extra ramen orders on a Saturday. Our AI reroutes everything smoothly, syncing third-party drivers and fresh ingredient stock in real-time via your POS. Efficiency skyrockets by 40% in the first month, freeing you to focus on flavor innovation, not firefighting shortages.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were scrambling with Toast, Uber Eats, and DoorDash just to track orders—lost 15% of deliveries last quarter due to sync errors. Now, everything's unified in one dashboard, and we've scaled to three virtual taco brands without adding staff. Saved us about $8K a month in labor and app fees over six months."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Lead, Urban Eats Ghost Kitchen
"Inventory was a nightmare; we'd overbuy seasonal veggies from Sysco and still run out of onions on busy Fridays. Their AI system predicted our needs spot-on using sales data, reducing food waste by 25% in the first two months and cutting supplier costs by 18%. It's like the kitchen runs itself during lunch rushes."
Raj Patel
Founder, SpiceRoute Kitchens
"We grew from one to four partner restaurants offering sushi and salads, but our old setup couldn't keep up with driver coordination for Postmates runs. AIQ built us a real-time dashboard that cut dispatch errors in half and ensured hot food delivery compliance. Honestly, it's transformed how we handle peak dinner service across locations."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this system handle sudden order surges in a ghost kitchen?
Great question—ghost kitchens live or die by peak performance. Our AI Operating System uses predictive models trained on your past data to anticipate rushes, like a lunch-hour spike from 200 to 800 orders. It auto-routes incoming requests across your platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.), balances prep queues, and even suggests staffing tweaks. We've seen clients cut fulfillment time by 35% during these events. It's all built on scalable servers that flex without downtime, so you never drop an order. Plus, we integrate directly with your POS for instant updates—no lag, no lost revenue.
Can I own the system outright, or is it subscription-based?
You're probably thinking about ditching those monthly fees—smart move. At AIQ Labs, we build everything custom for you to own completely. No ongoing subscriptions to us or third parties; it's your digital asset. We handle the initial build and integration, then hand over full control with documentation and support options. For a mid-sized ghost kitchen, this means owning a robust system that integrates your tools without the 'subscription chaos.' Clients typically see ROI in 4-6 months through efficiency gains, like reducing app costs by 60%. It's freedom to scale on your terms.
What if my menu changes frequently—does the AI adapt?
Frequent menu tweaks are a ghost kitchen staple, especially with seasonal or viral items. Our system is designed to adapt dynamically. The AI learns from your sales patterns, ingredient usage, and even external trends like social media buzz. Say you swap in a new poke bowl; we retrain the forecasting model in days, not weeks, to predict demand accurately. This prevents overstocking perishables— we've helped ops cut waste by 28% post-menu changes. It's like your system has a built-in chef's intuition, ensuring inventory and prep stay efficient without manual resets every time.
How secure is this for handling customer and order data?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, with all the sensitive data on allergies, payments, and locations. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliance-ready for standards like PCI DSS and GDPR. Your data stays in a secure, owned environment—no cloud dependencies that could expose you. Features include role-based access (so line cooks see only prep queues) and audit logs for every action. In one project, we fortified a kitchen's system against delivery app breaches, reducing risk by 90%. We also run regular penetration tests, so you focus on cooking, not worrying about hacks.
Will this work with my existing delivery and POS partners?
Absolutely—integration is our bread and butter. We connect seamlessly with popular setups like Toast POS, Square, Grubhub, or Postmates via deep API links, not superficial patches. For a typical ghost kitchen, we map your order flow end-to-end: from app receipt to kitchen ticket printing and driver dispatch. No more double-entry; it's all automated. One client integrated five platforms in under a month, slashing errors by 40%. If your partners change, our architecture allows quick swaps without rebuilding. It's flexible, scalable, and keeps your ops flowing no matter the ecosystem.
How long until I see results after implementation?
You're eager to see the payoff—we get it. Most ghost kitchens notice quick wins in 2-4 weeks post-launch. Early on, you'll see reduced manual tasks, like auto-syncing orders, freeing up 10-15 hours weekly for your team. Full scalability benefits, such as handling doubled volumes, kick in by month two as the AI fine-tunes to your patterns. We include a 30-day optimization phase to iron out kinks. A recent partner reported 25% faster order turnaround right away, leading to higher ratings and more repeat business. It's not overnight magic, but it's fast, tangible progress tailored to your pace.
