The "Ghost Kitchen" Grind
Unpredictable order spikes from multiple third-party delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats, causing chaotic kitchen rushes
Inventory blind spots in perishable items like fresh produce and proteins, leading to mid-shift shortages during peak service
Siloed data between POS systems like Toast and delivery platforms, preventing unified views of ticket times and order volumes
Wasted food from inaccurate demand forecasting for high-turnover items like salads and burgers, resulting in overproduction and spoilage
Delayed feedback on customer complaints via delivery apps, such as cold food arrivals or missing sides, eroding trust and reviews
Staff scheduling mismatches during lunch rushes, leaving line cooks understaffed for high-volume grill and fry station demands

We've powered over 100 food service ops, from bustling ghost kitchens to full-service spots, turning raw data into decisions that keep plates moving.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were flying blind on inventory—lost $500 a week on expired veggies like lettuce and tomatoes alone. Now, real-time tracking with FIFO alerts lets us reorder just in time, and our fulfillment hit 95% on-time last quarter during peak dinner service. It's like the kitchen finally talks back."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Lead at Urban Eats Ghost Kitchen, a high-volume virtual brand specializing in farm-to-table bowls
"Integrating our DoorDash and Toast data was a nightmare until this. We caught a surge in vegan orders early via the dashboard and pivoted our menu to add more plant-based curries, boosting sales 18% without extra staff. Simple, but game-changing for our tight 800 sq ft space."
Raj Patel
Founder of SpiceBox Virtual Kitchen, focusing on Indian fusion delivery in urban markets
"We used to chase complaints after they hit the apps, like late-night burger delays. The dashboard flags issues like delayed pickups instantly—fixed our rating slump in weeks by adjusting driver handoffs. Down from 12-hour shifts guessing, now we're proactive and under budget on labor for our 24/7 operation."

What's Included
Common Questions
How do your dashboards handle multiple delivery apps in a ghost kitchen?
We get it—ghost kitchens live or die by seamless integration with apps like DoorDash and Grubhub. Our custom builds use deep, two-way APIs to pull live order data into one dashboard. No more switching tabs during a rush. For example, you'll see incoming orders color-coded by platform, with auto-updates on ETAs and priorities. This setup cut one client's app-checking time from 2 hours to 15 minutes daily, letting them focus on plating. We tailor it to your volume—whether 100 or 1,000 orders—and ensure it scales without lag. Plus, it's all owned by you, no per-app fees piling up.
What KPIs are most useful for ghost kitchen efficiency?
In ghost kitchens, the real winners are order fulfillment speed, ingredient waste rate, and cross-platform order volume. Our dashboards spotlight these with live charts: track how long from order ping to packer handoff, flag when waste hits 5% on high-margin items like sauces, and forecast surges from app trends. You're probably thinking, 'Sounds basic,' but we customize—say, if your poke bowls spike on weekends, we build alerts for that. One operator saw fulfillment drop from 45 to 28 minutes, boosting ratings and tips. We pull from your POS and apps for accuracy, turning data silos into your secret weapon.
Can I access the dashboard on my phone during shifts?
Absolutely—our dashboards are mobile-first, built for the chaos of a hot kitchen. Pull up real-time order queues or inventory levels right from your phone, even with greasy fingers. It's responsive web-based, no clunky apps to download. Imagine getting a buzz for a 20% volume jump 30 minutes early, so you can rally the team. We designed it this way after hearing from ghost kitchen leads who couldn't leave the line. Security's tight too, with role-based access so packers see queues but not full finances. Clients report 40% faster issue resolution on the floor, keeping ops smooth.
How long does it take to build and set up a custom dashboard?
From kickoff to live data? Typically 4-6 weeks, depending on your setup complexity. We start with a deep dive into your tools—POS like Toast, apps like Postmates—and blueprint the integrations. Week one: discovery. Weeks two-three: build and test. Then launch with training. It's not rushed; we iterate to nail your workflow, like syncing virtual brand orders. One kitchen went live in 5 weeks and immediately spotted a $300 weekly waste leak. Post-launch, we monitor for tweaks, ensuring it hums during peaks. Faster than off-the-shelf, with way more punch for your specific grind.
What's the difference between your dashboards and off-the-shelf tools?
Off-the-shelf? They're like a one-size-fits-all apron—okay for basics but chafes in a real kitchen. Our custom ones are tailored: we weave in your exact data sources, from inventory scanners to app APIs, for ghost-specific views like multi-brand profitability. No generic templates forcing you to adapt. We build with advanced frameworks for speed during 200-order hours, and you own it outright—no endless subs. A client ditched three tools, saving $1,200 monthly, while gaining insights like per-platform margins. It's the builder's edge: robust, scalable, and truly yours, not some assembler's patchwork.
Do these dashboards help with menu optimization in ghost kitchens?
Big time. We craft features to analyze sales velocity across your virtual brands—say, which tacos fly off DoorDash versus Grubhub. Live dashboards show heatmaps of top performers, waste per item, and even customer prefs from ratings. Spot that salads lag in evenings? Pivot fast. It's data-driven menu tweaks without guesswork. One setup revealed a 15% margin boost by axing underperformers, all in real-time views. We integrate historical trends too, forecasting seasonal hits like holiday bowls. For ghost ops, this means leaner stock, happier apps, and more profit per square foot—no more over-prepping duds.
