At AIQ Labs, we build custom AI software from the ground up, tailored for food trucks. Think predictive inventory that learns from your festival patterns, real-time route optimization to beat traffic, and seamless integrations that turn your phone into a command center. No more subscription chaos. Just a scalable system you own, ready for when you add that second truck or go full franchise. Here's the thing: it scales with you, handling growth without bottlenecks, so you focus on delighting customers with fresh, fast food.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enterprise Scalability for Your Mobile Operations
Zero Bottlenecks as You Expand
Zero Bottlenecks as You Expand: Handles growth like a well-oiled kitchen brigade. Start with one food truck at local breweries, scale to a fleet of ten across city festivals—our AI manages surging orders for tacos or BBQ, multi-site inventory for fresh herbs and sauces, and dynamic fleet routing without missing a beat, breaking through the 50-100 daily customer ceiling that stalls most mobile vendors.
Boost Efficiency and Cut Costs by 35%
Boost Efficiency and Cut Costs by 35%: AI forecasts demand using your POS sales history and local weather patterns, slashing waste on perishables like ripe avocados or seasonal berries. One client, a smoothie truck operator, reduced spoilage from $500 weekly to under $150 in two months, redirecting savings to promote their next beachside pop-up.
Deliver Lightning-Fast Customer Experiences
Deliver Lightning-Fast Customer Experiences: Real-time order predictions and automated prep alerts for items like fresh salads or grilled skewers mean shorter lines and delighted diners. Scale to enterprise levels where your app pings regulars about your latest park location, converting festival one-timers into weekly subscribers without hiring more line cooks.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our taco truck was swamped with manual inventory tallies during weekend night markets—hours lost scribbling notes on restocking ground beef and cilantro. Now, the AI nails predictions for busy evenings, cutting our food waste by 45% over three months. It's like an extra sous chef who works 24/7 without a break."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Rolling Tacos Mobile Kitchen
"Expanding from one grill truck to three across summer food truck rallies was total mayhem with overlapping routes and clunky card readers. Their AI optimized our GPS paths through urban traffic, saving 20% on fuel last season, and synced payments so we handle 300 burger and rib orders daily error-free. It's revolutionized our festival game."
Jamal Reed
Founder, Street Grill Mobile Fleet
"We were hemorrhaging customers to 15-minute waits during office lunch rushes at our fusion cart. The AI queues orders smartly and buzzes staff for prep on poke bowls or banh mi, dropping waits to 5 minutes flat. In six months, repeat orders soared 60%, paving the way for our fourth cart at corporate parks."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this AI handle the unpredictable nature of food truck locations?
Food trucks live by the seat of their pants—festivals pop up, weather shifts crowds. Our custom AI uses GPS integration and historical data to predict optimal spots and adjust inventory on the fly. For instance, it factors in local events or traffic to suggest routes, ensuring you're stocked for a sudden lunch rush without overbuying perishables. We've seen trucks increase daily revenue by 25% just by avoiding low-traffic zones. It's built to scale, so as you add trucks, the system coordinates fleets enterprise-wide, no sweat. Let's be honest, it's like having a savvy route planner who knows your city better than you do after a long day.
Will the AI system work offline for spots with spotty Wi-Fi?
Absolutely, food trucks often park in areas with iffy signals—think remote parks or underground lots. We design with offline-first capabilities, so core functions like order taking, inventory scans, and basic forecasting run smoothly without internet. Data syncs automatically when you're back online, preventing any hiccups during service. One client, a burger truck at outdoor markets, reported zero lost sales from connectivity issues after implementation. It's scalable too; as your operation grows to multiple units, the system handles offline modes across the board, keeping everything efficient and bottleneck-free. You're probably thinking about those rainy days— this covers it.
What kind of ROI can a food truck expect from custom AI?
Here's the thing: food trucks often hit growth ceilings around $200K-$500K revenue due to manual ops eating time and money. Our AI typically delivers ROI within 4-6 months through cuts in waste (up to 40% on ingredients) and boosts in throughput (30% more orders per hour). For example, automating prep for a taco truck meant serving 150 customers instead of 100 during peaks, adding $15K monthly. It's enterprise-ready, scaling costs linearly with your growth—no flat fees that don't fit. We focus on your specifics, like seasonal dips, to maximize returns without the subscription trap.
How do you ensure the AI understands food safety and compliance?
Compliance is non-negotiable in food service—health codes, allergen tracking, it's all critical. We build AI with built-in logging for temperature checks, expiration alerts, and audit trails that meet local regs like FDA guidelines. It auto-flags risks, like suggesting menu swaps if an ingredient nears expiry, reducing liability. A seafood truck we worked with avoided fines by integrating real-time spoilage predictions, saving thousands. Scalable design means it adapts as you expand, handling multi-truck compliance seamlessly. Short answer: we prioritize safety in every line of code, so you serve worry-free.
Is this just for big fleets, or can solo food trucks benefit?
Solo operators get the most bang— you're wearing all the hats, from cooking to cash. Our AI starts simple: predict your daily needs based on past sales, automate vendor orders to save hours weekly, and optimize your single route for max exposure. It scales effortlessly if you add a second truck later, without rebuilding. Think of it as a co-pilot that grows with you. One solo falafel truck cut admin time from 10 hours to 2 per week, freeing them to focus on customer smiles. No limits here; it's built for your journey, from street corner to empire.
How long does it take to get the AI up and running for my truck?
We keep it quick but thorough—typically 6-8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on your setup. Week 1-2: We audit your current tools and pains, like manual stock counts. Then, 3-5 weeks building and testing integrations with your POS or apps. Final week: On-site training and tweaks during a slow day. It's phased to minimize disruption, so you're not sidelined during prime seasons. Post-launch, we monitor for a month to optimize. Clients often see quick wins, like faster order processing, right away. Scalable from there—no rushing means it lasts.
