We've powered chat support for over 50 food service operations, from street vendors to rolling kitchens, ensuring seamless integration with your POS and scheduling tools.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—food trucks don't run on 9-to-5 schedules. Your customers crave info at midnight after a concert or at dawn before the brunch rush. We build an AI chatbot that's custom-coded for your workflow, not some off-the-shelf bot. It lives on your website, app, or even Facebook Messenger, handling everything from menu tweaks to real-time location pings. Trained on your exact menu, specials, and allergy notes, it responds instantly, 24/7, without the hassle of hiring extra hands. You're probably thinking, 'Will it fit my mobile setup?' Absolutely—we integrate it directly with your Square or Toast system for order tracking and upsell prompts, like suggesting fries with that shake. No more gaps in service; just a digital extension of your truck that captures every lead.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Round-the-Clock Wins for Your Food Truck
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Picture this: A fan messages at 2 AM about your vegan tacos. Our AI jumps in, confirms availability from your daily menu, and books a pre-order—turning potential ghosting into a $15 sale. Food truck owners see <span class="gradient">25% more conversions</span> from after-hours chats during peak festival seasons, keeping your revenue rolling even when wheels are down.
Boost Customer Loyalty with Instant, Spot-On Answers
You're slammed at a farmers market, but your chatbot's fielding questions on gluten-free options or exact parking spots for your cart. Customers get responses in seconds, not hours, leading to glowing reviews and repeat visits. One truck owner reported <span class="gradient">40% higher satisfaction scores</span> after ditching voicemail for our always-on support, especially during lunch rushes.
Streamline Operations Without Adding Headcount
No need for a night-shift texter. Our bot automates routine queries like 'What's the wait time for my burger?' or 'Can I pay with Apple Pay at pickup?', freeing you to focus on what you love—cooking. It cuts support time by <span class="gradient">60%</span>, so you handle peaks efficiently without burnout, like during busy dinner services.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend inquiries because we couldn't check messages mid-grill during service. Now, it handles location updates for our rotating spots and basic pre-orders automatically—last month alone, it snagged us 12 extra taco orders during a downtown street fair, adding about $200 to our take. Game-changer for a one-truck operation like ours."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Tacos on Wheels Food Truck
"I was skeptical about a bot understanding our rotating falafel menu and halal certifications, but they customized it perfectly. During Ramadan, it fielded non-stop questions after hours on spice levels and delivery times, preventing any mix-ups. Sales from online chats jumped 35% in the first two weeks—no exaggeration, especially with our iftar specials."
Ahmed Patel
Founder, Falafel Express Mobile Cart
"Our BBQ truck parks in different neighborhoods weekly, and customers always ask about spots and sauce options. The AI now sends live Google Maps links and even suggests sides based on past orders, like mac and cheese with ribs. Cut our no-show rate from 15% to under 5%, and I haven't touched customer texts since launch three months ago during our summer tour."

Operator, Smoky Trails BBQ Food Truck

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle my changing daily locations?
We integrate it directly with your scheduling tools or Google Calendar, so it pulls live updates on where you'll be parked next. For example, if you're at the downtown market from 11 AM to 3 PM, the bot automatically shares that info with directions when customers ask. It's custom-built to sync without manual input, saving you from constant texting. We've seen trucks reduce location-related complaints by 50% this way, keeping fans coming without the chase.
Can it manage pre-orders and payments securely?
Absolutely—our AI connects to your POS like Square or Stripe for secure, instant pre-order processing. Customers chat about their pulled pork sandwich, confirm details, and pay right there, with the bot sending a QR code for pickup. No more lost notes or double-bookings. For a food truck we built this for, it handled 40 pre-orders during a weekend event flawlessly, boosting efficiency without extra staff. Security is baked in with encryption and compliance to food industry standards.
What if a customer asks something the bot can't answer?
The chatbot is smart enough to recognize limits and seamlessly escalates—like texting you directly with the query details for a quick human touch. It might say, 'That's a special request; let me loop in the chef!' In testing with food trucks, this handoff happens less than 10% of the time, but when it does, it includes chat history so you jump right in. This keeps satisfaction high, turning potential frustrations into personalized wins.
How long does it take to set up for my food truck?
From kickoff to launch, we're talking 4-6 weeks, tailored to your setup. We start with a deep dive into your menu and tools, then build and train the AI. Testing ensures it nails scenarios like rush-hour queries. One client, a taco truck, was live in under a month and saw immediate after-hours pickups. It's not rushed; we prioritize getting it right so it fits your on-the-move life without disruptions.
Will it integrate with my existing social media for inquiries?
Yes, we hook it up to platforms like Instagram or Facebook Messenger, where food truck fans love to reach out. It responds to DMs about your latest fusion burrito or event appearances, pulling from the same custom knowledge base. This unified approach means no switching apps—you get notifications in one spot. A partner truck reported 25% more engagement from social chats post-integration, capturing buzz from viral posts instantly.
Is the chatbot able to suggest menu items based on preferences?
Definitely—using your sales data and chat history, it personalizes like, 'You loved our spicy wings last time; try the new buffalo fries?' This drives upsells without feeling pushy. We train it on your inventory to avoid out-of-stock suggestions. For a BBQ truck we worked with, this feature increased average order value by 18% during peak nights, all while enhancing that friendly truck vibe customers crave.
