The "Ghost Kitchen" Data Blind Spots
Overwhelmed by fragmented delivery data from multiple platforms like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, with mismatched order timestamps causing inventory mismatches
Blind to real-time kitchen bottlenecks during lunch rushes, leading to delayed orders
Struggling to track perishable inventory waste, such as wilting greens or expiring dairy, without integrated POS insights from systems like Toast or Square
Guessing customer demand patterns for high-margin items like signature burgers across ghost kitchen locations without unified KPIs such as average ticket size or repeat order rates
Facing inaccurate labor scheduling due to siloed driver and prep time data
Facing inaccurate labor scheduling due to siloed driver wait times at pickup and variable prep times for complex orders like custom pizzas
Our Custom Dashboards Bring Visibility to Your Ghost Kitchen
We've built AI-driven dashboards for over 50 food service ops, turning raw data into decisions that keep kitchens humming
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a ghost kitchen means juggling endless orders from apps, unpredictable peaks, and tight margins. You're probably thinking, 'How do I see it all without drowning in spreadsheets?' Here's the thing: our custom dashboards at AIQ Labs pull everything together. We integrate your POS systems, delivery APIs, and inventory trackers into a single, real-time interface tailored to your workflow. No off-the-shelf nonsense—this is built for your ghost kitchen's unique rhythm, like tracking how many falafel wraps fly out during Friday nights versus slow Tuesdays. It's data-driven decisions, not gut feels, helping you optimize prep lines and cut waste.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Clear Visibility for Smarter Ghost Kitchen Runs
Real-Time Order Insights
Picture your dashboard lighting up with live feeds from DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, showing which dishes like trending poke bowls are flying off the virtual shelf. Predict lunch rushes down to the hour and adjust line cooks on the fly—reducing wait times by up to 25% during peak periods and keeping those five-star reviews rolling in.
Waste Reduction Through Inventory Tracking
No more tossing out spoiled ingredients like overripe avocados because data was stuck in silos. Our custom views forecast demand based on historical orders from your POS, helping you order just enough for that poke bowl special—saving an average of 15% on food costs monthly while minimizing landfill waste.
Informed Labor and Efficiency Decisions
Track driver delays at the ghost kitchen door and kitchen throughput for orders like multi-topping pizzas in one glance. This means scheduling the right number of prep staff for peak hours, cutting overtime by 30% over quarterly reviews while boosting operational efficiency and pushing customer satisfaction scores above 4.5 stars.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were flying blind on orders from DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub—constantly overstaffed or short during lunch surges. Now, we see real-time backlogs in the kitchen and cut our average prep time from 12 to 8 minutes per burger order. It's saved us about $2,500 a month in labor alone over the past six months."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager at Urban Bites Ghost Kitchen, a multi-platform delivery hub in Chicago
"Integrating our Toast POS with delivery data was a game-changer. We spotted that our vegan tacos were only popular on weekends, so we tweaked inventory for fresh cilantro and limes—dropped waste by 20% in the first quarter. The custom alerts for high-volume Friday nights? Total lifesaver for our small team."
Raj Patel
Owner of SpiceRoute Kitchens, specializing in fusion Indian-Mexican ghost kitchen fare in Austin
"As a multi-location ghost setup across three cities, siloed data was killing us on menu tweaks. Their dashboard unifies POS and delivery metrics, letting us compare performance across sites—like optimizing wing specials. Revenue per hour jumped 18% after we adjusted based on the insights in just two months—no more guessing."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with my existing ghost kitchen tools?
We start by auditing your setup—think POS like Toast or Square, plus delivery apps such as DoorDash and Uber Eats. Our engineers build deep, two-way API connections to pull in real-time data without disrupting your flow. For a typical ghost kitchen, this means order details, inventory levels, and driver ETAs all syncing automatically. No manual uploads or clunky exports. We've done this for ops handling 500+ orders daily, ensuring everything runs smoothly even during peaks. The result? A unified view that feels like an extension of your kitchen, not another tool to manage. Setup usually takes 2-4 weeks, depending on your current systems.
What makes these dashboards specific to ghost kitchens versus regular restaurants?
Ghost kitchens live and die by delivery efficiency, without front-of-house distractions. Our dashboards zero in on that: tracking virtual brand performance across apps, predicting surges from multiple platforms, and optimizing invisible workflows like batch prepping for Grubhub versus Uber Eats orders. We skip dine-in metrics and focus on delivery KPIs—think order velocity per slot, waste from no-shows, or cross-brand menu overlaps. For instance, one client used ours to see how their taco brand cannibalized sushi sales, adjusting promotions accordingly. It's all custom-built to your multi-brand setup, helping you scale without the overhead of physical spaces.
Can I access the dashboard on my phone during busy shifts?
Absolutely—our dashboards are fully mobile-responsive, designed for quick glances while you're in the thick of a dinner rush. Imagine pulling up live order queues or inventory alerts right from your phone, without logging into a clunky app. We use intuitive interfaces with color-coded widgets, like red flags for delays over five minutes. For ghost kitchen operators, this means coordinating with drivers on the go or tweaking staff assignments mid-shift. We've tested this in high-pressure environments, ensuring it loads fast even on spotty Wi-Fi. Plus, it's secure, with role-based access so only key team members see sensitive data.
How much does a custom dashboard cost for a small ghost kitchen?
Costs vary based on your complexity—like number of integrations or locations—but for a small ghost kitchen with 2-3 delivery apps and basic POS, we start around $8,000 for the build, with optional monthly support at $500. This includes full customization, testing, and a handover. You're investing in ownership, not rentals, so no recurring fees for the core system. Compare that to juggling $200+ monthly subscriptions across tools; many clients recoup costs in 3-6 months through efficiency gains, like 20% less waste. We offer a free consult to scope your needs and provide a precise quote—no pressure.
What kind of data security do you provide for food service info?
Food safety and customer data are non-negotiable in ghost kitchens, so we build with enterprise-grade security from the start. That means encrypted connections to your POS and apps, compliance with standards like GDPR and PCI for payment insights, and hosted on secure AWS infrastructure. We anonymize sensitive info, like customer details, unless you specify otherwise. For one client handling allergy notes in orders, we added extra layers to ensure data isolation. Regular audits and access logs keep everything audit-ready. It's peace of mind—your operational data stays yours, protected against breaches that could hit your reputation hard.
How long does it take to see results after launching the dashboard?
Most ghost kitchen clients notice quick wins within the first week—like spotting a recurring bottleneck in Thursday deliveries. Full impact, such as optimized inventory cutting costs by 15%, rolls out over 1-2 months as your team gets comfortable with the insights. We include hands-on training and iterate based on feedback, so it's not set-it-and-forget-it. For example, a client adjusted their menu based on early data visualizations and saw order fulfillment speed up by 22% in the first month. We're with you every step, refining for your specific challenges like seasonal demand spikes.
