The "Mobile Mayhem" Problem
Chasing sales guesses between food festivals and street vending spots, leading to missed peak opportunities
Inventory vanishing like ice in summer heat without clear tracking of perishable stock like fresh produce or meats
Customer lines building up from mismatched staffing on busy nights at pop-up events or high-traffic corners
Fuel and route costs eating profits without visibility into patterns for delivery runs or multi-stop vending
Spoiled ingredients from unpredictable demand forecasts for daily specials or event catering
Scattered payment data from mobile POS systems leading to cash flow surprises at week's end for tips and card swipes

We've powered over 50 mobile food ops with AI-driven visibility that turns chaos into control
Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: running a food truck means you're part chef, part navigator, part accountant. You're probably thinking, 'How do I keep tabs on everything without a stationary office?' We get it. At AIQ Labs, we craft dashboards from scratch, pulling in your POS data, GPS logs, and supplier feeds into one unified view. No more flying blind through data silos like separate apps for orders and inventory. It's like having a co-pilot who knows your routes, menus, and customer vibes inside out. Short and sweet: we build it for your exact workflow, ensuring real-time insights that let you pivot fast—whether that's stocking extra tacos for a pop-up event or rerouting to avoid traffic jams.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Tastes Like Success
Pinpoint Peak Demand Instantly
Pinpoint Peak Demand Instantly: No more guessing when to fire up the grill for lunch rushes or dinner crowds. Our dashboards forecast rush hours based on location data, weather patterns, and past sales from events like farmers' markets, helping you staff right and serve up to 25% more customers without extra hires. Picture this: last Friday's street festival data shows you exactly what sold out—think extra portions of barbecue ribs—so you prep smarter next time and avoid turning away hungry lines.
Slash Waste and Boost Margins
Slash Waste and Boost Margins: Track ingredient levels live, from fresh herbs to bulk proteins, to avoid tossing produce like yesterday's specials. Users see a 15-20% drop in spoilage costs within the first month, turning potential losses into profits. It's like your dashboard is the sous-chef spotting overstock on items like lettuce or ground beef before it wilts, especially during slow weekdays.
Make Route Decisions Data-Driven
Make Route Decisions Data-Driven: Combine sales trends with traffic, event calendars, and fuel logs to optimize your stops for markets or office districts. Cut fuel expenses by 18% on average, as one truck owner did by avoiding low-traffic zones during off-peak hours. You're not just driving—you're steering toward higher earnings with every turn, like prioritizing high-demand lunch spots near construction sites.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, I was throwing darts at inventory guesses every morning for my fresh salsas and fillings—ended up dumping $200 in unused veggies and limes weekly during slow weeks. Now, with real-time tracking tied to my Square POS and demand forecasts for weekend markets, waste is down 40% in just two months, and I'm pulling in steadier profits from better-stocked days without overbuying from suppliers. It's a game-changer for my taco truck's unpredictable schedule around festivals."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Rolling Tacos Food Truck, Austin, TX
"Juggling routes and sales on my burger truck felt like herding cats, especially plotting stops near office parks or events. Their custom setup pulls GPS, order data from my Toast system, and traffic info into one screen, letting me spot hot spots instantly for peak lunch hours. Saved me 15 hours a week on manual logs, customer wait times dropped from 20 minutes to under 5, and folks actually come back now without the long lines—revenue's up 18% since implementation."
Jamal Carter
Founder and Head Chef, Street Grill Mobile Burgers, Chicago, IL
"I thought dashboards were for big chains, not my little falafel cart hustling at street fairs. But AIQ built one that forecasts based on weather, local events like music festivals, and my past chickpea orders, cutting my stockouts from twice a week to almost never—even during rainy days. Revenue's up 22% this quarter, all from smarter preps without the guesswork, like stocking extra tahini for predicted crowds."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your dashboards handle the spotty internet on food truck routes?
Let's be honest, reliable Wi-Fi isn't always a given when you're parked at a farmer's market or festival. We design our custom dashboards with offline capabilities in mind—key data syncs automatically when you're connected, and critical metrics like inventory levels update in real-time via mobile data. For instance, your POS transactions log locally on your device, then push to the cloud once signal returns. We've built this for trucks facing urban dead zones or rural gigs, ensuring you never lose visibility. Plus, our setup includes data backups to prevent any hiccups from derailing your day. It's all about keeping you operational, no matter the spot.
Can I integrate my existing POS system with this dashboard?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. Whether you're using Square, Toast, or Clover for your food truck orders, we create seamless, two-way integrations that pull sales, menu, and payment data directly into your dashboard. No more manual exports or clunky workarounds. Here's the thing: we map it to your workflow, so if you're slinging BBQ at events, it tracks per-location sales automatically. One client synced their system in under a week, gaining instant insights into top items without touching their daily routine. We handle the tech, you focus on the grill—resulting in faster decisions and fewer errors.
What kind of KPIs are most useful for food truck owners?
You're probably thinking about the basics like total sales, but for food trucks, we zero in on mobile-specific metrics that drive efficiency. Think peak-hour revenue, ingredient turnover rates to combat spoilage, and location-based ROI—like how much you net at that downtown spot versus the park. We also track customer wait times for better service flow and waste percentages to trim costs. Our dashboards visualize these in simple charts, with alerts for anomalies, such as a sudden drop in foot traffic. A recent build for a coffee truck highlighted menu velocity, helping them rotate slow sellers and boost profits by 15%. It's tailored, actionable data that fits your fast-paced life.
How long does it take to build and launch a custom dashboard?
We keep it efficient because we know downtime hurts your bottom line. From our initial chat to full launch, it's typically 4-6 weeks for a food truck setup—faster if your systems are straightforward. Step one: a quick discovery call to map your needs, like integrating POS and inventory. Then, 2-3 weeks of building and testing with your input. Finally, a smooth rollout with training. We've done express builds in 3 weeks for urgent cases, like pre-season prep. The key? Our engineering-first approach avoids the delays of no-code tinkering. You'll be seeing real-time insights before your next big event, without disrupting service.
Is this dashboard scalable if I expand to multiple trucks?
Yes, and that's a big part of why we build custom. Start with one truck's data—sales, routes, stock—and as you add more, the system scales effortlessly without a full rebuild. We architect it with modular integrations, so adding a second truck means just expanding the dashboard views, like fleet-wide KPI comparisons or shared inventory pools. One owner grew from one to three trucks and used our setup to centralize ops, cutting admin time by half. It's like upgrading from a single griddle to a full kitchen line—seamless and ready for growth. No subscription hikes or integration headaches; you own the expandable asset.
How secure is the data in these dashboards for my business info?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive details like customer payments and supplier costs. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like GDPR and PCI for payments. Your dashboard runs on secure, private servers you control—no shared clouds with random access. Features include role-based permissions, so only you see full financials, while staff get limited views. We've audited our builds for food service vulnerabilities, like protecting against POS breaches during busy rushes. A client in events catering praised how it locked down their data during a hack attempt elsewhere. Peace of mind, built in.
