The "Lead Drought" Problem
Wasting time on vague Instagram comments from out-of-state foodies who can't reach your truck, not knowing if they're local enough for a quick lunch run
Hunting through crumpled POS receipts and napkin scribbles to remember if that regular always skips the onions or prefers extra heat in their birria tacos
Losing festival tent bookings because inquiries don't specify if it's a group of 20 needing gluten-free options or just a couple eyeing your loaded nachos
Sending promo texts about your pop-up location that bounce because customer numbers from last summer's farmers market are outdated or wrong
Stuck entering order details from your Square tablet into spreadsheets during rare breaks, instead of checking out new vendor spots for fresh cilantro
Watching catering inquiries for your Korean-Mexican fusion tacos slip to rivals who track which tech firms nearby order for their team-building potlucks
Our Tailored Automation Built for Your Truck's Rhythm
We've powered lead systems for over 50 food service operations, from roving trucks to bustling commissary hubs, ensuring every automation fits like a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf tools treat your food truck like just another generic business—they can't handle the chaos of mobile locations or the burst of orders from a viral Instagram post. That's why we craft a custom-built lead enrichment system at AIQ Labs, laser-focused on your exact workflow. We pull data from social mentions, event apps, and local directories, then enrich it with details like past orders, allergies, and proximity to your next stop. No more one-size-fits-all headaches. This flexible setup grows with you, whether you're expanding to multiple trucks or tweaking for seasonal menus. You're probably thinking, 'How does this even work for my setup?' We start by mapping your daily grind—from parking to plating—and build from there, delivering a unified tool you own outright.
What Makes Us Different:
Why This Fits Your Truck Perfectly
Hyper-Targeted Prospect Pools
Imagine ditching broad Facebook ads for our geo-fenced alerts that spotlight spice-loving locals within 5 miles who’ve checked in at nearby breweries—last season, trucks like yours saw a 40% uptick in walk-up orders for those empty midweek slots, turning browsers into burrito buyers.
Smarter Follow-Ups That Convert
Our enriched profiles deliver past orders and tweaks—like noting a customer's go-to extra guac— so you can text 'Ready for your usual carnitas with no cilantro?' This slashes no-shows by 50% over six months, transforming festival one-offs into weekly regulars who boost your monthly take by 25%.
Time Back for What Matters
Let automation handle scraping event apps and POS data entry, freeing up 15 hours weekly—that's time for prepping signature sauces or scouting prime street parking—while your custom dashboard keeps qualified leads like group picnic inquiries flowing without the hassle.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I'd waste nights combing Instagram DMs for leads, but most were from folks across the country who couldn't make it to my truck. Now, their custom system auto-enriches with GPS pins and order prefs—last month alone, it netted 120 local contacts, scoring us three office park lunches that paid the full month's propane and permits. It's like an tireless sous chef for sales."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Taco Roamer Food Truck
"As a vegan wrap truck chasing summer festivals, tracking what attendees wanted—like nut-free options or extra veggies—was chaos with just notebooks. AIQ tailored an enricher that scans event apps for diet tags and past visits. In Q2, our booking rate spiked 28%, and we landed two farm-to-table weddings from those details. No more blind prep disasters."
Jamal Reed
Founder, Green Rollers Vegan Wrap Truck
"Managing leads from weekend pop-ups and DoorDash surges was draining my energy. AIQ's automation pulls from social check-ins and delivery notes, catching gems like peanut allergy flags we overlooked. It prevented a catering flop at a tech mixer and reeled in $4,200 from returning clients over the fall circuit. Tailored perfectly for our on-the-go grind."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unpredictable locations of a food truck?
Food trucks live by the seat of their pants—weather, permits, you name it. Our custom system uses geo-fencing and real-time location data to enrich leads dynamically. For instance, if you're parked at a farmer's market, it prioritizes nearby prospects with relevant prefs, like farm-to-truck lovers. We build in flexibility so the AI adapts to your schedule updates via a simple app integration. No more static lists; it's like your leads chase you, not the other way around. We've seen trucks cut lead chase time by 60% this way, letting owners focus on the fun part: serving up smiles and seconds. It's all tailored during our initial mapping session to match your mobile hustle perfectly.
What sources does the lead enrichment pull from for food service specifics?
We zero in on channels that matter to food trucks: Instagram and TikTok for viral mentions, Yelp reviews for sentiment, event apps like Eventbrite for festival-goers, and even local delivery platforms for order histories. The AI enriches with details like cuisine preferences or peak hunger times, avoiding generic business databases. Here's the thing—it's custom-built, so if your crowd comes from Facebook groups for street foodies, we tune it there. This specificity has helped clients like a BBQ truck identify 30% more barbecue buffs in their zone, turning scrolls into sales. We ensure data privacy too, complying with regs so you never worry about mishaps.
Can this integrate with my existing POS system without disrupting operations?
Absolutely, and we make it painless. Whether you're on Square, Toast, or Clover, our engineers create deep, two-way API links that push enriched leads directly into customer profiles—think auto-adding a lead's fave toppings from a past mention. No downtime during your lunch crush; we stage it off-hours and test thoroughly. You're probably thinking about those integration nightmares from past tools—ours are robust, built to handle the high-velocity data of food service. One truck owner reported seamless syncing that shaved 10 hours off weekly admin, all while keeping orders flowing. It's part of owning a unified system, not patching together rentals.
How much customization is involved, and what's the timeline for rollout?
Every bit is tailored to your truck's vibe—from enriching for vegan queries if that's your niche, to flagging leads near corporate parks for lunch specials. We kick off with a deep dive into your workflow, then build and iterate. Timeline? For most food services, it's 4-6 weeks: week one for discovery, two-three for development, and the rest for testing and launch. Short and punchy for your fast-paced world. We've rolled out for a falafel truck in under a month, delivering enriched leads that boosted event bookings by 45%. It's flexible—if you're prepping for a big season, we prioritize speed without skimping on the fit.
What if my lead volume spikes during festivals—will the system scale?
Festivals are your Super Bowl, right? Our production-ready setup is designed for surges, processing hundreds of leads from social buzz without breaking a sweat. The AI scales automatically, enriching data on the fly with details like group dietary needs from event RSVPs. No lag, no crashes—like a deep fryer that handles the rush hour crowd. We've stress-tested for clients hitting music fests, where one saw 300+ leads enriched overnight, leading to sold-out days. Post-launch, we monitor and tweak, ensuring it grows with you. Let's be honest, generic tools buckle here; ours is built tough for food service peaks, giving you peace of mind amid the madness.
Is the enriched data secure, especially with customer food preferences?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, where allergies and prefs are sensitive. We encrypt everything end-to-end, using enterprise-grade protocols to protect lead data like locations and order histories. No shared servers or risky third-parties—it's all in your owned system, compliant with GDPR and food safety standards. Features include auto-anonymization for non-converting leads and audit logs for peace of mind. A client in the gluten-free space praised how it flagged and secured allergy data, preventing issues and building trust. We audit during build, so you get robust protection tailored to your operations, letting you focus on flavor without the fear.
