The "Lead Drought" Problem
Wasting hours cold-calling DoorDash hubs and Uber Eats coordinators while your commercial kitchen ovens are preheating for the lunch rush
Generic lead lists flooding in with irrelevant brick-and-mortar cafes and sit-down diners that can't handle your virtual brand's high-volume ghost kitchen model
Struggling to qualify delivery-app friendly clients amid fluctuating order volumes from peak dinner surges and slow weekday lulls
Manual outreach via endless emails clashing with tight prep schedules, last-minute menu pivots for seasonal ingredients, and handling rush-hour order spikes
Missed opportunities for direct B2C leads from untapped customer data siloed in delivery apps like Grubhub and Postmates
Overpaying for broad marketing tools like generic CRM software that don't grasp virtual brand scaling in the shared-kitchen ghost economy
Our Tailored AI Lead Generation for Ghost Kitchens
We've powered lead engines for over 50 food service ops, including ghost kitchens navigating the delivery boom
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, ghost kitchens thrive on agility—testing pop-up menus one week, scaling viral dishes the next. Here's the thing: off-the-shelf lead gen tools treat you like a generic restaurant, ignoring your need for partners who get high-volume, low-overhead ops. We build custom AI systems that scrape targeted sources like delivery aggregators, food tech forums, and local investor networks. These leads get enriched with details on their ghost kitchen experience, order capacities, and cuisine fits. Flexible integrations plug right into your workflow, whether it's alerting your team during off-peak hours or auto-nurturing prospects with personalized pitches about your Thai fusion line. You're probably thinking, 'Finally, something built for us, not forcing us into a box.'
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Growth Without the Hassle
High-Quality Leads That Convert
High-Quality Leads That Convert: Get a steady stream of vetted prospects—like Uber Eats hubs seeking gluten-free vegan options or corporate cafeterias needing quick ghost kitchen integrations—who align perfectly with your setup. Our AI filters out noise by analyzing delivery zone compatibility and order history, delivering 40% higher conversion rates, so you spend less time pitching and more on perfecting that signature teriyaki glaze or plant-based burger patty.
Time Savings During Peak Hours
Time Savings During Peak Hours: No more late-night lead chasing when dinner orders spike on Fridays. Our system runs autonomously, qualifying and enriching leads in the background using POS data from tools like Toast. One ghost kitchen operator freed up 15 hours weekly, turning that into menu innovation instead of admin drudgery—like tweaking spice levels in birria tacos based on real customer feedback from app reviews.
Scalable Partnerships for Expansion
Scalable Partnerships for Expansion: As your ghost kitchen grows from one virtual brand like a poke bowl specialist to five diverse concepts including sushi rolls and healthy salads, our flexible AI scales with you. It identifies enterprise clients like national delivery chains ready for bulk integrations, boosting revenue by 25% through targeted outreach that feels personal, not pushy—think tailored proposals highlighting your zero-waste prep efficiency and compliance with food safety regs like HACCP.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were buried in unqualified leads from generic lists—mostly full-service restaurants that didn't understand our cloud kitchen model. Their custom system pulled in 35 solid delivery partners like local Uber Eats coordinators in the first two months, and we've doubled our orders on new apps while scaling our Thai fusion menu. It's like having an extra sous chef focused on growth, not just plating during the rush."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, Urban Eats Cloud Kitchen, Chicago
"Ghost kitchens move fast, but lead gen was our bottleneck—endless cold calls during the dinner rush when we're slammed with poke orders. AIQ built this AI that scores leads based on our demand patterns for ahi tuna and avocado bowls, landing us a major corporate catering deal with a tech firm last quarter. Saved us 10 hours a week on outreach, and revenue's up 28% without adding staff or expanding our commissary space."
Raj Patel
Founder and Head Chef, PokeHub Virtual Kitchens, San Francisco
"We tested three tools, but they all spat out irrelevant B2C consumer leads instead of investor matches. AIQ's setup integrated seamlessly with our Square POS and targeted food tech investors interested in our Latin fusion virtual brands perfectly. Got intros that led to $500K funding for a new shared kitchen location in three months—real results, no fluff, just scalable growth for our empanada and ceviche lines."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI source leads specifically for ghost kitchens?
We target niche sources like DoorDash and Uber Eats partner forums, virtual kitchen directories, and food tech investor lists—places where delivery-focused ops hang out. The AI scrapes these ethically, then enriches with details like a prospect's average order value or expansion plans. For a ghost kitchen like yours, this means leads from brands seeking high-volume, low-footprint partners, not random eateries. We've seen it cut irrelevant noise by 70%, so you focus on fits that boost your workflow efficiency. It's all custom-built to your cuisine and scale, ensuring every lead aligns with your operational rhythm.
What makes this different from standard lead gen software?
Standard tools dump generic lists at you, ignoring the ghost kitchen hustle—like juggling multiple menus without a physical storefront. We craft a bespoke AI that understands your world: it scores leads on factors like delivery radius compatibility and peak-hour syncing. No more sifting through brick-and-mortar noise. Plus, it's integrated into your existing setup, automating outreach around your prep schedules. One client went from 5% conversion to 32% because the system personalized pitches around their sushi specials. You're getting a perfect fit, not a template that forces you to adapt.
How long does it take to see results from the custom lead gen?
Typically, we launch your system in 4-6 weeks, with initial leads flowing within the first month. It depends on your specifics—like if you're targeting local investors or national delivery chains—but our AI ramps up fast. For a mid-sized ghost kitchen, expect 20-30 qualified leads in week one, scaling to 50+ as it learns your preferences. We optimize weekly based on feedback, so by month three, you're closing partnerships that directly lift order volumes. It's designed for quick wins without disrupting your daily ops, like auto-scheduling demos post-rush hour.
Can this integrate with my current delivery and POS tools?
Absolutely— we specialize in deep, two-way integrations with tools like Toast POS, Square, or apps such as Grubhub. The AI pulls in your real-time data, like current menu availability, to enrich leads and trigger actions, such as notifying your team of a high-potential partner during downtime. No brittle connections that break under pressure. For ghost kitchens, this means seamless handoffs: a lead from a corporate catering scout gets auto-matched to your capacity, with follow-ups timed around service peaks. We've connected over 100 food ops this way, reducing manual entry by 80% and keeping your customer experience smooth.
What if my ghost kitchen's needs change, like adding new virtual brands?
Our systems are built flexible from the ground up, so evolving with you is core. If you launch a new Italian line or expand to a second city, we retrain the AI in days, not months, using your updated data. It adapts lead sourcing to new cuisines or regions, maintaining high relevance. No starting over—just tweaks to keep leads pouring in for your growth phase. A client added three brands last year; their lead quality stayed top-notch, leading to 40% revenue growth. You're owning a scalable asset that mirrors your agile ops, not a rigid tool holding you back.
Is the lead data compliant with food industry regulations?
Yes, we prioritize compliance, especially in food service where data privacy and partner standards matter. Our AI scrapes only public, permissible sources and enriches ethically, adhering to GDPR and platform rules like those from Uber Eats. For ghost kitchens, it flags leads meeting health code alignments or supply chain fits. We audit everything to avoid risks, and you own the clean data for your records. This setup has helped clients secure partnerships without compliance headaches, ensuring your operational efficiency isn't derailed by legal snags.
