What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Tangible Time and Revenue Wins
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly for What Matters
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly for What Matters: Let's be honest, you're not a desk jockey—you're firing up the grill at farmers' markets. Our automation handles prospect research for local events and personalized emailing, so you skip the post-shift exhaustion of manual outreach. Picture this: instead of evenings chasing leads after a 12-hour wedding catering gig, you're refining your signature sauces or scouting the next food fest. Clients see a 25% uptick in bookings within the first month, directly from these efficiency gains, like turning more pop-up invites into confirmed slots.
Achieve 3x ROI Through Smarter, Faster Closes
Achieve 3x ROI Through Smarter, Faster Closes: You're probably thinking costs add up with a custom build, but here's the payoff: for every dollar invested, expect three back in new revenue from high-ticket gigs. We quantify it by tracking how automated pitches convert to $5K+ catering deals for events like corporate luncheons or music festivals. No more lowball walk-up sales at street fairs; this targets premium clients, reducing no-shows by 40% and boosting your bottom line by 30% on average within six months.
Boost Productivity Without Hiring Extra Hands
Boost Productivity Without Hiring Extra Hands: Food service is all about hustle, but manual lead chasing is like prepping mise en place one ingredient at a time—tedious and error-prone. Our system personalizes outreach at scale, like suggesting smoked brisket pairings for brewery events based on your menu and local craft beer trends. Owners report cutting outreach time by half, letting solo food truck operators handle 50% more prospects—like festival pitches—without burnout, all while maintaining that fresh-off-the-grill quality.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was emailing wedding coordinators right after wrapping up late-night shifts, barely landing one catering gig a month amid the festival season chaos. Now, the system scans local event calendars for matches to my fusion tacos—like pairing them with craft beer tents—and sends tailored pitches; I booked three weddings and two corporate picnics last quarter alone, adding $12K to my revenue without any extra hustle."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Taco Fusion Food Truck
"Running a dessert truck meant endless Instagram DMs to fair organizers that vanished into the void, especially during peak summer heat. Their custom automation researches upcoming county fairs and county fairs and auto-follows up with personalized notes on my gelato flavors for outdoor events; I saved 10 hours a week on outreach and doubled my festival slots this summer, from four to eight bookings, turning those into steady $2K weekends."
Jamal Reed
Founder, Sweet Street Dessert Truck
"We were stuck with generic email templates that screamed 'spam' to busy conference planners scouting vegan options. AIQ built a system that pulls from our plant-based menu—like quinoa bowls for team-building retreats—and ties into local wellness trends; we landed a steady corporate lunch contract for 50-head events worth $8K monthly, starting just three months in. Honestly, it's transformed our outreach from a post-service chore to a reliable revenue engine for our growth."
Lisa Chen
Operator, Green Bite Vegan Catering

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle my unique food truck schedule?
We get it—food trucks don't run 9-to-5. Our custom build factors in your hours, like automating outreach during off-peak times (say, 2-5 AM) and pausing during lunch rushes. It syncs with your calendar to avoid conflicts, and even uses GPS data from your truck to localize pitches, such as targeting nearby office parks for quick catering bids. You're probably thinking it'll overwhelm your setup; nope, we start small, testing with 20 leads a week, then scale as you see the wins. Owners like you report it fitting seamlessly, saving hours without adding complexity to your mobile life.
What's the ROI timeline for a food truck using this?
Let's be honest, you need results fast in this industry. Most clients see positive ROI within 4-6 weeks, with initial setups recouping costs through 2-3 new bookings. For a truck averaging $2K per event, that's quick math: our system boosts outreach volume by 5x while personalizing to lift conversion from 10% to 30%. We track it all in your dashboard, showing saved time (e.g., 15 hours/week at $50/hour value) plus revenue uplift. One operator hit 3x ROI in month one by landing a festival slot. It's built for your scale—no fluff, just measurable gains tied to your bottom line.
Can it integrate with my existing POS and booking apps?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. We don't just bolt on; we create deep, two-way integrations with tools like Square, Toast, or Clover for POS, and booking apps like Eventbrite or HoneyBook. For instance, a new lead from a corporate inquiry auto-pulls your availability and menu details, generating a pitch like 'Your team's build-your-own burrito for the retreat—slots open next Tuesday.' This eliminates manual entry, reducing errors that could cost a gig. We've done this for 30+ trucks, ensuring it works offline too for spotty Wi-Fi at markets. Setup takes 2-3 weeks, with full handover so you're not dependent.
How personalized are the outreach messages really?
Think of it like customizing a signature dish—not one-size-fits-all slop. Our AI researches each prospect (e.g., scanning an event planner's past gigs for themes) and crafts messages like 'Saw your love for street food at last year's fair—our empanadas would pair perfectly with your vibe.' It's trained on your brand voice, menu specifics, and even seasonal tweaks. No generic 'Hi, we're great' here; tests show 45% higher open rates. We refine it iteratively based on your feedback, ensuring it feels authentic, like a conversation over coffee, not a sales blast. Food truck owners rave about the relevance landing real meetings.
What if I'm just starting out with a single truck— is this overkill?
Not at all; it's designed for solo operators hitting growth pains. If you're bootstrapping, we scale it down: start with basic lead gen for local spots, automating 50 outreaches a month without overwhelming your setup. It grows with you—from snagging park permits to chasing weddings. Costs are upfront but pay off fast; one starter truck owner went from 5 gigs to 15 quarterly, adding $20K revenue. We're builders, so we tailor to your stage—no minimum fleet required. Here's the thing: even small ops waste time on dead-end leads; this sharpens your focus, boosting efficiency from day one.
How do you ensure the system stays secure for my business data?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, with customer allergies and payment info in the mix. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like SOC 2 and GDPR, hosting on secure AWS with role-based access so only you see sensitive leads. Integrations use API keys you control, and we audit for vulnerabilities quarterly. No shared servers or risky no-code plugins—everything's custom-coded for your truck's data. Clients appreciate the peace of mind; one shared how it protected their vendor lists during a busy season. We also train you on best practices, ensuring your mobile setup stays locked down wherever you park.
