The "Visibility Void" Problem
Chasing shadows with scattered POS data from pop-up taco trucks and farmers' market stalls
Blindly restocking perishables like fresh lettuce and seafood, leading to 10-15% daily spoilage losses in high-heat environments
Guessing customer preferences for menu items like vegan burritos from memory, missing 20-30% of repeat business opportunities
Weather and event unpredictability, like sudden rain at food festivals, tanking unplanned routes and cutting daily revenue by 40%
Manual crew scheduling clashing with fluctuating lunch rushes at office parks and construction sites
Fuel and parking costs for idling near high-volume spots like stadiums eating 25% of profits without GPS tracking

What Makes Us Different:
Why This Changes Everything for Your Truck
Crystal-Clear Sales Forecasting
Crystal-Clear Sales Forecasting: No more overprepping tacos that go uneaten. Our dashboards predict demand using historical POS data, weather APIs, and local events like county fairs—slashing food waste by 25% and ensuring you're always stocked for the lunch rush. One taco truck owner saw their average daily sales jump from $800 to $1,200 after just two weeks of implementation.
Route Optimization on Autopilot
Route Optimization on Autopilot: Tired of circling blocks for the perfect spot near office lunch crowds? Get actionable insights on traffic patterns and customer hotspots from foot traffic analytics, reducing fuel costs by 15-20%. It's like having a co-pilot that knows your city better than you do, freeing you to focus on slinging those gourmet burgers during peak hours.
Effortless Inventory Tracking
Effortless Inventory Tracking: Track fresh produce like avocados and tomatoes from supplier to grill in real-time via mobile apps, preventing $500 monthly losses from spoilage in variable climates. Alerts notify you before items expire, and automated reorders keep your truck humming without last-minute runs to the wholesale market—perfect for those long festival weekends with back-to-back shifts.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was scribbling sales notes on napkins and guessing where to park my truck. Now, their dashboard shows me exactly which neighborhoods crave my falafel wraps on Fridays after analyzing local event calendars—sales are up 35% this quarter, and I'm not wasting gas on dead-end routes anymore."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Falafel on Wheels Food Truck
"Running two trucks meant double the headaches with inventory for ribs and coleslaw. Their custom setup integrated our POS apps and cut our overstock by half in the first month. Last summer's heat wave? We forecasted it using their weather integration and adjusted orders—saved us from throwing out $2,000 in produce that would have spoiled."
Jamal Reed
Co-Founder, BBQ Nomads Food Truck Collective
"I thought BI was for big chains, not my little ice cream truck serving school zones. But AIQ built something simple that tracks kid foot traffic after school via location data and suggests optimal routes around parks. Revenue's steadier now, up about 20% year-over-year, and I actually get home before dark most evenings."
Sarah Patel
Operator, Sweet Scoops Ice Cream Cart

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this work for a single food truck with limited tech?
Great question—many of our clients start just like you, with basic POS and a smartphone. We begin by auditing what you have, then build a simple, mobile-first dashboard that pulls in data from apps like Square or Google Maps. No need for fancy hardware; it's all cloud-based. For instance, you'll see live sales trends as you serve, helping you decide if that park spot is worth the stay. Setup takes about 4-6 weeks, and we train you hands-on. The result? Owners like you report 20% less waste right away, without changing your daily flow.
What kind of data do you need from my operations?
We keep it straightforward and relevant to food trucks. Think sales from your POS, GPS routes from your navigation app, inventory logs from spreadsheets, and even weather data we layer in. No deep dives into unrelated stuff. Here's the thing: we customize to avoid overload. If you're tracking daily hot dog sales or event bookings, that's what we focus on for forecasts. You're probably thinking about privacy—everything's encrypted, and you own the data. One client shared just their Toast exports, and we turned it into route-saving insights in under a month.
Can this handle seasonal changes like summer festivals?
Absolutely, that's where our AI shines for mobile ops. We build models that factor in seasonality, local events, and past performance—like how your taco truck boomed at last year's county fair. Real-time dashboards update with event calendars and weather, so you can pivot fast. Let's be honest, festivals can make or break your week; our system helped one operator boost festival revenue by 40% by predicting crowd sizes. It's all tailored—no generic templates. Implementation includes testing during off-peak to ensure it gels with your busiest days.
How much does a custom BI solution cost for a food truck?
Costs vary based on your setup, but for a single truck, we're talking $15,000-$25,000 for a full build—far less than juggling multiple apps monthly. This covers discovery, custom coding, integration, and three months of tweaks. Why the range? If you need advanced route AI with GPS, it's higher; basic sales tracking is lighter. You're investing in ownership, not endless subs—ROI hits quick, often in 3-6 months via waste cuts and sales lifts. We offer phased payments and a free audit to quote precisely, ensuring it fits your budget without skimping on quality.
Is the dashboard easy to use while I'm serving customers?
Yes, we design it for the hustle—think quick-glance metrics on a phone screen, not a clunky laptop. Swipe to see if your burger line is peaking or if supplies are low, all in seconds between orders. Relatable example: a client parks at markets and checks inventory mid-shift without stopping service. It's intuitive, with voice alerts if needed, and we customize views to your workflow. No steep learning curve; most owners master it in a day. Plus, it's offline-resilient for those remote spots, syncing when you're back online.
What if I expand to more trucks later?
Our solutions scale seamlessly—that's the beauty of custom builds. Start with one truck's data streams, and we architect it to add more without a full redo. For example, fleet owners integrate multiple POS feeds into one dashboard, tracking cross-truck trends like shared ingredient efficiency. We've helped solos grow to three trucks, adding features like centralized scheduling. It's future-proof: as your operation evolves, we tweak for minimal downtime. Clients love this flexibility; one went from one to four trucks and saw unified insights cut their admin time by 50%.
