What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, we were losing two hours a day just confirming pickup times with customers—it was killing our margins on delicate salads that wilted fast. Now, the system books everything automatically, and our on-time rate jumped from 75% to 98% in the first month. Saved us about $800 a week in wasted runs and reduced food spoilage by 35%."

Maria Gonzalez

Operations Lead at FreshBites Salad Delivery

"Our drivers were frustrated with overlapping routes, especially in traffic-heavy urban areas delivering aromatic curries. This custom scheduler factors in real-time GPS and order types like hot vs. cold, cutting complaints by half. We've redirected those saved hours to driver training on safe food handling, and deliveries now run like a well-oiled tandoor kitchen."

Raj Patel

Fleet Manager at SpiceRoute Indian Express

"No-shows were our nightmare—prepped meals like gourmet sandwiches going cold in the van. The AI predicts and confirms slots via text, reducing cancellations by 60% over three months. It's not just time saved; our customer reviews improved from 4.2 to 4.8 stars, and we're seeing repeat orders up 25% without extra marketing spend on loyalty apps."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery Dive into Your Delivery World

We start by chatting about your daily grind—peak hours, driver quirks, and pain points like those rainy-day delays. This maps your unique workflow, ensuring the automation fits like a glove, not some off-the-rack suit.

Step 2

Custom Build and Integration Magic

Our engineers craft the AI scheduler from scratch, linking it to your POS, apps, and calendars. We test rigorously with your real orders, tweaking for accuracy—like perfecting a recipe before service begins.

Step 3

Launch, Train, and Optimize Together

We roll it out smoothly, train your team with hands-on sessions, and monitor for the first weeks. Adjustments happen fast, delivering those efficiency gains right away while you own the system outright.

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up with custom code, not piecing together fragile no-code tools that break during your busiest shifts—giving you true ownership over a scalable system that grows with your delivery fleet.
Unlike assemblers relying on rented subscriptions, we eliminate your tool chaos by creating one unified AI engine tailored to food service realities, like variable order windows and perishable goods timing.
Our deep API integrations ensure two-way data flow between your POS and scheduler, preventing the sync errors that plague generic platforms and waste your team's time on manual fixes.
We focus on production-ready apps that handle high-volume peaks without crashing, unlike brittle workflows from typical agencies that can't scale beyond basic tasks.
Clients get bespoke UIs and dashboards designed for your ops—like a control center for monitoring driver ETAs—not forcing you to juggle disconnected apps during rush hour.
Born from our own frustrations with fragmented tools, we prioritize reliability for SMBs, delivering ROI through quantifiable savings like reduced fuel costs, not vague promises.
We train the AI on your specific data, from historical rush patterns to local traffic, ensuring predictions are spot-on for your routes, not generic models that miss the mark.
No ongoing subscription traps; you own the code, meaning no vendor lock-in and full control to evolve the system as your business expands into new delivery zones.
Our team includes food service veterans who get the stakes—cold food loses customers—so we embed safeguards like auto-rescheduling for delays right into the core.
We measure success in real metrics, like hours saved per driver or order fulfillment rates, providing ongoing tweaks to maintain that efficiency edge year-round.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle our variable delivery zones?

We get it—food delivery isn't one-size-fits-all, with some areas being walkable urban spots and others sprawling suburbs. Our custom AI learns from your historical data, mapping out zones and factoring in average travel times. For instance, it prioritizes tighter windows for central pickups while giving buffer for longer hauls. During setup, we input your exact territories and driver capacities, then the system auto-adjusts slots. Delivery services like yours have seen 25% faster throughput this way, without the guesswork of manual planning. It's all built to your workflow, ensuring no order slips through the cracks even on busy weekends.

What if we already use a scheduling app—can you integrate with it?

Absolutely, integration is our specialty. Whether you're on something like When I Work for drivers or a basic Google Calendar for customers, we create deep, two-way connections so data flows effortlessly—no more double-entry headaches. Take a client with Uber Eats ties; we synced their order feeds directly, automating confirmations and cutting manual updates by 18 hours weekly. We audit your current setup first to avoid disruptions, then build secure APIs that handle real-time syncs. The result? A unified system you own, ditching the subscription fees and brittle links that plague off-the-shelf tools.

How quickly can we see ROI from this scheduling automation?

You're probably thinking about the bottom line, and rightfully so. Most food delivery clients hit positive ROI within 4-6 weeks. For example, one operation saved $1,200 monthly on overtime by automating peak-hour bookings, with efficiency gains kicking in immediately post-launch. We focus on quick wins like reducing no-shows (up to 40% drop) and optimizing routes, which directly cuts fuel and waste costs. Our process includes baseline metrics upfront, so you track savings in real-time—think 15 hours reclaimed per week for your coordinators. It's not hype; it's measurable, tailored relief from those daily scheduling squeezes.

Is the system secure for handling customer delivery details?

Security is non-negotiable in food service, where you're dealing with addresses, allergies, and payment ties. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and compliance standards like GDPR and PCI, ensuring customer data stays locked down. Unlike generic tools, our custom setup includes role-based access—so only drivers see routes, not full profiles. A recent client in meal kit delivery praised how we anonymized data flows, preventing breaches during high-volume sign-ups. We also audit regularly and provide full ownership, meaning no third-party risks from rented platforms. Your peace of mind? Baked in from day one.

Can this scale if our delivery volume doubles during holidays?

Scaling is where we shine, especially for those holiday surges when orders spike 2x. Our AI is designed production-ready, using scalable cloud architecture that handles surges without a hitch—like ramping up your kitchen staff for a banquet. We train it on your seasonal patterns, auto-expanding slots and suggesting temp driver assignments. One pizza delivery chain went from 200 to 500 daily orders seamlessly, avoiding the crashes they'd had with basic apps. Post-launch, we optimize based on performance, ensuring it grows with you—no costly overhauls needed. It's built for your peaks, delivering that reliability you count on.

What training do we need to get started with the system?

We keep it simple and hands-on, because nobody wants a steep learning curve amid dinner prep. Our team provides tailored sessions—virtual or on-site—lasting just 2-4 hours, walking your staff through booking, monitoring, and tweaks. For drivers, it's a quick app demo; for coordinators, dashboard navigation. A client with a team of 20 couriers was up and running in a day, with follow-up support via chat. We create custom guides with your terminology, like 'rush window adjustments,' so it feels intuitive. The goal? Minimal disruption, maximum adoption, freeing you to focus on fresh deliveries right away.
