What Makes Us Different:
Why This Delivers for Your Truck
Booked Schedules Without the Grind
Booked Schedules Without the Grind: Picture this: instead of pounding pavement after a 12-hour shift serving office crowds, our AI delivers 30-50 warm leads monthly from nearby festivals and corporate parks, converting 25% into paid gigs like weekly lunch rotations. That's like adding an extra crew member who never sleeps, filling your calendar with events that match your route and menu specialties.
Smarter Efficiency, Less Chaos
Smarter Efficiency, Less Chaos: You're dealing with tight margins and unpredictable parking spots—our system automates the hunt for event permits and vendor lists, cutting lead gen time by 70%. No more sifting through junk; get enriched data on decision-makers like event planners, boosting your close rate by 40% and keeping cash flow steady through slow seasons like winter months.
Customer Experience That Converts
Customer Experience That Converts: Food trucks thrive on buzz—our AI personalizes pitches, like suggesting your fusion burritos for a tech firm's happy hour or vegan options for a wellness retreat. Clients feel seen, leading to repeat bookings like monthly office catering and referrals, all while you maintain that personal touch without extra admin during peak festival seasons.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was driving around emailing event coordinators from my phone after serving lunch rushes, missing half the opportunities. Now, their system pulls in leads for farmers' markets and weddings that fit my schedule—landed three corporate taco bar events in the first month, upping my revenue by 35% without adding hours to my 50-hour weeks."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Taco Rover Food Truck, Serving Austin's Tech Corridor
"The lead drought in winter was killing us, with the truck parked half the time, but this custom setup started scraping local holiday pop-ups and street fairs, scoring them by budget. We booked five private BBQ parties last December—real game-changer, saved me from dipping into savings and kept the smoker running year-round."
Jamal Reed
Founder, Smoky Wheels BBQ Truck, Specializing in Memphis-Style Meats
"I thought AI was for big chains, but AIQ built something simple that integrates with my Square bookings and tracks inventory for catering sizes. It's generating leads from offices near my usual lunch spots—closed a 150-head fusion lunch gig last week with automatic follow-ups, turning one-off stops into steady weekly contracts."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI know what kind of leads my food truck needs?
We start by diving into your specifics—like your cuisine type, preferred event scales, and operating zones. The custom AI then trains on that data, scanning sources for matches, such as wedding planners seeking 100 vegan options or offices needing quick BBQ setups. It's not generic; we build it to filter out mismatches, like avoiding tiny pop-ups if you specialize in large caters. Over time, it learns from your bookings to refine, ensuring leads align with your workflow and boost efficiency without overwhelming your schedule.
What if I'm tech-averse—can I still use this system?
Absolutely, we get it—running a food truck means grease-stained hands, not coding marathons. Our setup includes a simple mobile dashboard you check like weather apps, with push notifications for hot leads. No need to log in constantly; it auto-sends enriched prospect lists to your email or phone. We've helped owners with zero tech background go live in weeks, focusing on plug-and-play features that fit your on-the-go life, like voice commands for quick approvals.
How quickly can I start seeing leads after setup?
Most trucks see initial leads within 7-10 days post-launch, as the AI ramps up scraping and scoring. For example, one client got 15 qualified event pitches in the first week, leading to two bookings. We prioritize quick wins by seeding with your known hotspots, then optimize based on real responses. Full integration takes 4-6 weeks, but the lead flow starts early, helping you fill gaps like weekend slumps right away.
Is this secure for my business data, like customer contacts?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, where one breach could tank trust. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR, ensuring your lead data, booking details, and POS integrations stay locked down. Unlike shared platforms, our custom builds mean you own everything—no third-party access risks. We've audited systems for similar ops, preventing issues like exposed event rosters, so you focus on serving, not worrying.
Can this scale if I add another truck or go brick-and-mortar?
Yes, our designs are built to grow with you. Start with one truck's leads, and we expand the AI to handle multiple locations or even a fixed spot's catering needs. For instance, it can segment leads by vehicle or venue, adjusting for different menus. Clients who've scaled saw lead volume double without added complexity, maintaining efficiency as revenue climbs—perfect for transitioning from street vending to steady gigs.
What's the cost, and do I own the system?
We quote based on your needs, typically $5K-$15K for setup, far less than hiring a salesperson or buying multiple subs. No ongoing fees beyond optional maintenance; you own the code outright, hosted on your choice of secure cloud. This replaces the 'chaos' of tools like generic CRMs that nickel-and-dime you. ROI hits fast—one good event booking often covers it, with sustained leads paying dividends.
