The "Lead Mismatch" Problem

Event leads fizzle out because you can't distinguish high-intent wedding planners booking for 150 guests from casual window shoppers just liking your Instagram posts

Your POS system like Square or Toast tracks sales but ignores which online inquiries from platforms like Yelp actually drive foot traffic to your food truck during lunch rushes

Seasonal rushes mean you chase corporate lunch leads that don't fit your truck's parking restrictions at office lots or your rotating menu of seasonal specials like summer salads

Manual sorting of social media DMs from TikTok or Facebook eats into prep time, mixing real catering opportunities like pop-up events with spam from recipe requests

One-size-fits-all tools overlook your mobile schedule and truck's GPS-tracked routes, scoring desk-job prospects as hot when they're location-locked and can't access your street-side stops

Fluctuating fuel costs and city permits make it hard to prioritize leads that align with your weekly routes, like avoiding leads in restricted zones during peak delivery hours

Your Custom Lead Scoring Solution, Tailored to Food Truck Realities

We've helped dozens of food service operators ditch generic tools for AI systems that actually understand the hustle of mobile vending

Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, food trucks aren't static restaurants—they're on wheels, chasing festivals and pop-ups. Here's the thing: off-the-shelf lead scorers treat every business the same, but we build yours from the ground up. We analyze your past bookings, like that summer festival run that filled your grill for weeks, and train AI to spot similar patterns. No more guessing if a lead will stick around for your falafel special. You're probably thinking, 'Can this really fit my quirky schedule?' Absolutely. We integrate with your POS, Google Calendar for routes, and social channels, creating a flexible system that's as nimble as your truck. It's custom-built for your exact needs, turning chaotic inquiries into a prioritized list that boosts your operational efficiency and customer experience.

What Makes Us Different:

Deep dive into your lead data from events, social, and walk-ups to define what 'hot' really means for you
AI models that adapt to seasonal shifts, like scoring higher for summer picnic planners
Seamless dashboard access from your phone, so you score leads between shifts without missing a beat

Why This Fits Your Food Truck Like a Perfect Bun

Prioritize Profitable Gigs Without the Guesswork

Prioritize Profitable Gigs Without the Guesswork: Picture this: AI flags a lead from a local office park needing weekly burrito trucks for 50 employees, scoring it high based on your history of repeat corporate stops and average $800 per-event revenue. You spend less time chasing duds and more slinging wraps, potentially increasing bookings by 25% in peak months like summer festivals. It's like having a sous chef who knows exactly which orders to prioritize during lunch hour rushes.

Streamline Your Route and Prep Time

Streamline Your Route and Prep Time: No more sifting through emails while firing up the grill for morning service. Our system auto-scores leads against your calendar, highlighting festival ops that align with your health permits and truck capacity for 200 servings. Owners report saving 10 hours a week on admin, freeing you to tweak recipes or scout new parking spots near high-traffic areas. Think of it as GPS for leads, dodging traffic jams of low-value inquiries during your busiest routes.

Boost Customer Loyalty Through Smarter Follow-Ups

Boost Customer Loyalty Through Smarter Follow-Ups: High-scoring leads get personalized nudges, like reminding a past wedding client of your new vegan taco options via text after their event. This targeted approach turns one-off inquiries into regulars, lifting repeat business by 35% over six months. It's the secret sauce that makes your truck the go-to for discerning eaters at markets and events, all while keeping your operations humming efficiently with fewer no-shows.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, I was buried in leads from Instagram—half were just curious foodies asking for recipes, not buyers. Their custom scoring now flags real catering jobs, like the office lunch series for a tech firm that brought in $5K last quarter with bi-weekly stops. It's cut my chase time in half, and I'm actually parking in better office lot spots now without permit hassles."

Maria Gonzalez

Owner, Rolling Tacos Food Truck, Austin TX

"As a solo operator, I couldn't afford to miss high-potential leads during festival season. This system integrated with my Square POS and scored a music fest inquiry top-tier based on past wins at similar events with 300 attendees. Landed the gig, made $2,800 in one weekend selling fusion bowls. No more spreadsheets for me—it's a game-changer for efficiency on the road."

Jamal Reed

Founder and Head Chef, Spice Wagon Mobile Kitchen, Denver CO

"We struggled with seasonal dips, chasing winter event leads that never panned out due to bad weather. AIQ's tool learned our patterns and prioritized holiday market planners for pop-up stalls, resulting in three solid bookings worth $4,200 total with gluten-free grill specials. It's like it knows my truck's vibe better than I do some days—super helpful for keeping things smooth through the off-season."

Common Questions

How does custom lead scoring differ from free tools for my food truck?

Free tools often use blanket algorithms that don't grasp your mobile setup—like scoring a lead high just because they viewed your menu, ignoring if they're near your usual spots. We build yours specifically: analyzing your past bookings, route data, and even weather impacts on turnout. For instance, it learns that leads from local event apps convert 40% better for you than social media randos. This tailored approach means you're chasing gigs that fit your schedule, not wasting gas on mismatches. Setup takes about two weeks, and it integrates smoothly without disrupting service. You're probably thinking it's pricey—actually, clients see ROI in the first busy month through higher close rates.

Can this work with my existing POS and scheduling apps?

What data do you need to start building the scoring model?

We start simple: access to your lead sources like email inboxes, social DMs, and a few months of past booking data from your POS. No need for perfect records—we handle messy real-world info, like noting which festival leads turned into $1,500 hauls. From there, we anonymize and train the AI to spot patterns, such as high scores for corporate clients who book recurring lunches. You're in control; we only use what you share, and it's all secured. This data-driven build ensures the system feels like an extension of your operations, not some alien tool.

How accurate is the lead scoring for seasonal food truck challenges?

Spot-on for seasons—our models factor in your historical dips and peaks, like summer surges in ice cream leads versus winter corporate huddles. Accuracy hits 85-90% after initial training, based on client benchmarks, meaning fewer false positives that send you chasing dead-end inquiries. For example, it downranks tourist-heavy leads in off-months if your data shows low conversions. We refine it ongoing with your feedback, keeping it nimble like your menu tweaks. Here's the thing: it's not static; it learns from every scored lead, improving efficiency as your truck evolves.

What's the timeline and cost for a custom setup?

Timeline: 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live, including discovery, build, and testing—fast enough to catch your next event season. Cost starts at $8,500 for a core system, scaling with integrations, but it's a one-time build with optional maintenance. Compare that to monthly subs adding up to $3K yearly on generic tools. Clients recoup via 20-30% more qualified leads, like one truck owner who booked two extra weddings post-launch. We offer phased payments, and it's fully yours—no ongoing dependencies. Let's chat to tailor pricing to your truck's size and needs.

Will this help with customer experience in my food truck business?

Definitely—it enhances it by ensuring you engage the right people promptly. High-scored leads get faster, personalized responses, like suggesting menu pairings for their event, leading to happier clients and better reviews. For food trucks, where word-of-mouth is king, this means more referrals from satisfied caterers. One operator saw Yelp scores jump from 4.2 to 4.7 after prioritizing responsive follow-ups. It's all about operational efficiency freeing you to focus on quality service, not lead hunting. The system even tracks engagement to refine future scores, creating a loop of improved experiences.
