Why Choose Us
Here's the thing – running a food delivery service means you're always one delayed pizza away from a flood of frustrated texts. We build a tailored AI system that integrates directly with your POS, delivery apps, and customer channels. It automatically sends real-time updates, handles inquiries like a pro bartender mixing drinks under pressure, and learns your unique lingo for spot-on responses. No more generic bots; this is custom-coded to fit your workflow, reducing manual back-and-forth by 80%. Let's be honest, you're probably thinking it's too good to be true, but we've seen teams go from reactive chaos to proactive calm in weeks.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Real Time and Cost Wins That Scale with Your Growth
Slash Weekly Hours on Manual Messaging
Picture this: instead of your team firing off 200+ texts per shift on delivery ETAs for fresh salads, our AI does it instantly. Delivery services like yours save 12-18 hours weekly, freeing staff to focus on plating orders rather than playing phone tag. That's a direct ROI of $500+ in labor costs per week, based on average hourly rates for line cooks.
Boost Customer Loyalty with Instant, Personalized Touches
Customers hate waiting – especially for that late-night burrito. Our system sends tailored nudges, like 'Your sushi is 5 mins out – track here,' cutting complaints by 40% and lifting repeat orders within 30 days. One client saw their Net Promoter Score jump 25 points in three months, turning one-time app orders into loyal regulars who reorder weekly.
Cut Costs on Refunds and Support Headaches
Manual errors in comms lead to wrong addresses or forgotten sides like extra guac, costing $20-50 per mix-up. Automate confirmations and queries to eliminate 70% of these, with ROI hitting payback in under two months for a mid-sized cafe. It's like having an extra shift without the payroll hit during lunch rushes.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our dispatchers were glued to phones during dinner rush, handling 150 texts a night on where's-my-pizza queries. Now, the AI pings customers automatically with real-time oven-to-door updates, and we've cut that time by 14 hours a week. Refunds for cold deliveries dropped 35%, and drivers actually get to focus on routes instead of calls."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Lead, QuickBite Deliveries
"We run a small taco truck fleet, and coordinating with gig drivers was a nightmare – constant WhatsApp pings about pickups for fresh cilantro batches. Their custom setup integrates with our Square POS and sends geo-fenced alerts for street-side handoffs. Saved us $800 monthly in overtime, and customers rave about the smooth updates on spicy add-ons. Wish we'd done this sooner."
Jamal Reed
Owner, StreetTaco Fleet
"Peak weekends were brutal with abandoned cart follow-ups via email blasts that felt spammy for our weekend brunch specials. The AI now crafts personal texts like 'Hey, your avocado toast order is waiting – need a quick sub for that nut allergy?' Converted 22% more in the first month, and our team's not drowning in DMs about vegan options anymore."

Customer Success Manager, UrbanEats

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle peak-hour spikes in food delivery orders?
Let's be honest, rush hour is when things get crazy – think Friday night floods of pizza orders. Our custom AI is built to scale seamlessly, processing thousands of messages per hour by integrating directly with your delivery platform's API. It prioritizes urgent queries like 'Where's my food?' using smart queuing, much like a head chef juggling stations. In one rollout for a burger chain, we handled a 300% surge without a single manual intervention, saving 10 extra hours that week. We tailor the throughput to your volume, ensuring no bottlenecks, and include monitoring tools so you see the efficiency gains in real-time. You're probably thinking about costs – the setup pays for itself in reduced overtime alone.
Will this work with our existing POS and third-party delivery apps?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine – no ripping out what works. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with systems like Toast, Square, or DoorDash APIs, creating a unified flow without the usual glitches. For a meal prep service we built for, it synced order data in seconds, auto-sending updates like 'Your vegan bowls are en route.' This eliminates manual data hops that eat up time. Here's the thing: we map your exact workflow first, testing every connection to avoid those frustrating sync fails. The result? A single dashboard where your team tracks everything, cutting errors by 60% and reclaiming hours for actual cooking.
What kind of time savings can a small delivery service expect?
For smaller ops, like a local sushi spot with 20-50 daily deliveries, you're looking at 8-12 hours saved weekly on comms alone. No more staff texting ETAs or fielding 'Is it here yet?' calls – the AI handles it proactively. One client, a family-run wing joint, went from 5 hours nightly on customer chats to under 1, redirecting that to prep and boosting output by 15%. We quantify this upfront with your data, focusing on ROI like lower refund rates from clearer updates. It's not magic; it's targeted automation that fits your scale, with payback often in 4-6 weeks through labor and error reductions.
How personalized are the AI responses for food customers?
We make it feel like a friendly server, not a cold bot. The AI pulls from your order history and preferences – suggesting 'Extra napkins for that saucy pasta?' or 'Allergy-safe swap?' based on past notes. Trained on your menu and tone, it avoids generic replies that annoy picky eaters. A falafel delivery team we worked with saw engagement rise 28% because responses matched their casual vibe. You're probably thinking about training time – we handle that, ingesting your FAQs and samples in days. The key? It's custom-built, so it evolves with feedback, ensuring high satisfaction without losing that human warmth in every ping.
What's the setup process like, and how long until we see results?
We keep it straightforward, starting with a quick audit of your current setup – no endless meetings. In week one, we map integrations; week two, build and test the core automations like delivery alerts. Launch by week three, with tweaks based on your first rushes. A curry delivery service was fully live in 21 days, seeing immediate 10-hour weekly saves. Unlike template tools, ours is tailored, so it clicks right away. Post-launch, we provide a simple dashboard for oversight and monthly check-ins to optimize. The ROI kicks in fast – think reduced complaints from day one, scaling to full efficiency in a month.
Do I own the system, or is there ongoing subscription dependency?
Full ownership from day one – that's our edge over the subscription trap. We build it on your servers or cloud of choice, with clean code you control, no vendor lock-in. For a poke bowl chain, this meant ditching three chat tools and saving $1,200 yearly. We hand over docs, training, and support to maintain it in-house if desired. Here's the thing: while we offer optional updates, you're not chained to us monthly. This shifts you from renting fragmented fixes to owning a powerhouse that grows with your business, like a custom kitchen built to last through busy seasons.
