Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf tools treat every lead like a generic burger flip—they don't get the nuances of your meal prep world, like keto preferences or bulk corporate orders. Here's the thing: we build a custom AI lead scoring system from the ground up, tailored to your exact workflow. It analyzes behaviors like website visits to your gluten-free page or past order sizes, scoring leads on their fit for your high-volume prep cycles. You're probably thinking, 'Will this actually fit my rush-hour chaos?' Absolutely. We integrate it seamlessly with your CRM and inventory tools, creating a unified system you own, not some rented template that breaks during your busiest catering season.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in leads from Instagram ads promoting our keto meal kits—half were just curious dieters who never ordered a single box. Their custom scoring now flags the serious ones, like those browsing our vegan high-protein plans multiple times and checking delivery zones. In the last quarter, our conversion rate jumped from 15% to 28%, and we're not chasing ghosts anymore—our kitchen team's finally focusing on fresh sourcing."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Manager, FreshFit Meals (a vegan-focused meal delivery service in Austin)
"Meal prep is all about timing, but our old system couldn't handle the influx during New Year's resolution season with everyone wanting detox bowls. The AIQ setup scores leads by delivery readiness and past box sizes for corporate wellness programs, cutting our follow-up time in half. We've added 12 new corporate clients since implementation three months ago, all without extra staff—our prep line is running smoother than ever."

"I was skeptical about custom AI fitting our small team's workflow, but this lead scoring integrates right with our Square POS and order app for tracking family meal packs. It prioritizes high-volume leads during our busy summer BBQ season, and we've seen a 22% uptick in repeat orders for grilled veggie sides. No more over-prepping for flaky inquiries—it's like having an extra set of eyes on the line during rush hour."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom lead scoring differ from generic CRM tools for meal prep?
Generic CRMs score leads with broad rules that ignore your unique challenges, like fluctuating demand for paleo vs. vegan plans. We build yours specifically: analyzing site behavior on your recipe pages and past order sizes to predict who'll commit to weekly deliveries. This means your sales team focuses on leads likely to order 10+ meals upfront, cutting waste. In one project, a client saw 35% better targeting within the first month, all integrated without disrupting their kitchen schedule. It's flexible too—adjust for summer BBQ surges or holiday detox rushes.
What data do you use to score leads in food service?
We start with what you already have: website interactions, email opens on your nutrition tips, and any order history from trials. For meal prep, we factor in specifics like location for delivery feasibility or engagement with allergen info. No need for extra tools; we pull from your existing setup. Here's the thing: it's all secure and compliant with food safety regs. A recent partner used this to score 2,000 leads, identifying 150 high-potentials that drove $15K in new recurring revenue—tailored, not templated.
How long does it take to implement for a small meal prep operation?
For SMBs like yours with 20-100 weekly orders, we wrap discovery and build in 4-6 weeks. We map your workflow first—think integrating with your scheduling app—then test with live data during a low-volume week. You're probably thinking about downtime; there isn't any. We phase it in, starting with basic scoring on top leads. One meal kit service went live in five weeks and reported 25% efficiency gains right away, without halting operations.
Can the system handle seasonal variations in lead quality?
Absolutely—food service thrives on seasons, from post-gym resolution spikes to summer slumps. Our custom model adapts rules dynamically, like boosting scores for fitness-focused leads in January. It learns from your data, so if corporate catering heats up in Q4, it prioritizes those. Let's be honest, one-size-fits-all fails here; ours flexes with your menu. A client in holiday prep saw lead accuracy improve 40% during peaks, turning more inquiries into booked slots without overstaffing sales.
What if we need to adjust the scoring after launch?
We design it for easy tweaks—no coding required from you. Through a simple interface, you can weight factors like repeat visit frequency or interest in family-sized plans. Our team provides quarterly reviews to refine based on actual conversions, ensuring it stays aligned with your evolving customer base. For instance, if you add a new low-carb line, we update the model in days. A prep service we worked with adjusted for a menu pivot and boosted their hit rate by 18% in under a month—ownership means control.
Is this secure for handling customer dietary information?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, where leads share sensitive details like allergies. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and HIPAA elements for health data. Your info stays in your owned system, not scattered across vendors. We audit everything during build. One client, dealing with 500+ personalized plans, praised how it protected data while scoring effectively—zero breaches, full peace of mind for their operations.
