Our Tailored AI Forecasting Solution
We've helped dozens of delivery services like yours ditch generic spreadsheets and build forecasting systems that actually understand the chaos of daily routes and customer cravings.
Why Choose Us
Here's the thing: one-size-fits-all software treats your kitchen like a warehouse, ignoring the fresh twists of food delivery. We craft a custom AI model from the ground up, trained on your order history, route data, and even local weather patterns. It's flexible, scaling with your menu changes or new neighborhoods. Let's be honest, you're probably thinking about those late-night rushes where everything goes wrong—this system anticipates them, keeping your ops smooth and your customers smiling.
What Makes Us Different:
Why This Perfect Fit Transforms Your Operations
Zero Stockouts During Peak Delivery Windows
No more turning away orders because you ran out of fresh herbs or artisanal cheeses mid-rush. Our custom model forecasts demand with 95% accuracy, using your historical sales data from apps like DoorDash—saving you from those frantic calls to local farms and keeping your 4.8-star ratings intact.
Slash Waste and Boost Your Bottom Line
Picture this: instead of composting 20% of your weekly tomatoes and berries, you're portioning them perfectly into salads and smoothies. We optimize for perishables by analyzing patterns like Friday night pizza surges, reducing spoilage by up to 40% and freeing up $5,000 quarterly for fleet upgrades or staff bonuses.
Streamline Reordering for Your Unique Workflow
Forget rigid templates that ignore your twice-weekly produce deliveries. Our system auto-generates orders tailored to your supplier lead times and seasonal menu swaps like summer BBQ to fall harvest bowls, cutting manual inventory checks by 10 hours weekly so your team can focus on prepping hot paninis right on time.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd overstock marinara and pesto sauces after a busy Friday catering rush and watch half spoil by Monday's lunch prep. Their custom forecasting cut our sauce waste by 35% in the first month, and now we breeze through peak dinner deliveries without skipping a beat. It's like having an extra inventory whiz who never sleeps."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Lead, QuickBite Deliveries
"Our delivery zones expanded last year to include suburbs, but our old Excel sheets couldn't track varying demands for vegan bowls versus meat-heavy meals. AIQ built us a system that predicts orders per zip code—slashed stockouts from 15% to under 2% in three months, and our drivers aren't doubling back for forgotten avocados anymore. Total game-changer for scaling our ghost kitchen."
Raj Patel
Kitchen Manager, UrbanEats Express
"Rainy weeks used to blindside us, like when soup orders spiked 50% and we drowned in unused kale for salads. The AI they customized pulls in weather APIs and our flash sale data, saving us about $2,000 monthly on excess greens and proteins. It's straightforward tech that fits our farm-to-table model perfectly."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle sudden demand spikes, like a viral social media promo?
Great question—food delivery thrives on those unpredictable moments. Our custom AI is trained on your past data, including any promo-driven surges you've had, and layers in real-time inputs like social buzz or event calendars. For instance, if a TikTok trend boosts salad orders by 30% overnight, the model adjusts forecasts within hours, alerting you to ramp up greens without overcommitting. It's not rigid; we build in flexibility so it learns from your unique patterns, reducing the guesswork that leads to stockouts or waste. We've seen services cut emergency orders by 50% after implementation, keeping operations smooth even when the internet explodes your popularity.
What makes this different from off-the-shelf inventory apps?
You're probably thinking, 'I've tried those apps, and they don't get delivery specifics.' Exactly. Generic tools use broad algorithms that ignore things like your perishable timelines or varying route demands. We custom-build yours to fit—analyzing your exact menu, supplier schedules, and peak windows. No more forcing your workflow into a template. For a client with fluctuating vegan options, we tailored predictions to seasonal ingredient availability, dropping their overstock by 25%. It's yours to own, scalable without subscription traps, and integrated deeply so data flows effortlessly from orders to stock alerts.
How quickly can we see results after implementation?
Let's be honest, you need wins fast in food service. We aim for a working prototype in 4-6 weeks, with full integration in 8-10, depending on your data setup. Early on, you'll notice fewer manual checks as the AI starts predicting basics like daily protein needs. One delivery service we worked with saw a 15% waste reduction in the first month, just from better forecasting on chicken portions during weekends. We include training so your team trusts it immediately, and it only gets smarter with use—handling complexities like weather-impacted orders right away.
Can this system account for our multiple delivery zones?
Absolutely, and it's a common headache we solve. Zones mean different tastes and timings—urban areas might crave quick sushi, while suburbs go for family meals. Our AI segments forecasts by zone, pulling in route data to predict loads accurately. For a client expanding to three new areas, we built zone-specific models that cut understock incidents by 40%, ensuring drivers aren't overloaded or short. It's all custom-coded to your map, with dashboards letting you tweak as neighborhoods evolve. No more blanket predictions that leave some trucks empty while others overflow.
What data do you need from us to get started?
We keep it simple and secure—mostly your historical order data from POS, delivery logs, and supplier invoices. No need for perfect records; we clean and structure it during discovery. Think sales volumes, menu items sold, and basic inventory turns. For a pizza delivery chain, we started with six months of messy Excel sheets and turned it into a predictive powerhouse that now flags dough shortages before they happen. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring privacy compliance, so you focus on running your kitchen while we build the smarts.
Is the system flexible if we change menus or add new services?
Food delivery evolves fast—new vegan lines or ghost kitchen tie-ins shouldn't break your forecasting. Our approach uses modular AI that adapts quickly; we can retrain models in days for menu updates. A service adding breakfast deliveries saw us recalibrate for morning perishables like eggs, maintaining 92% accuracy without downtime. It's built for you, not against change, with easy interfaces to input shifts. Long-term, this means your investment grows with your business, avoiding the rework generic systems demand.
