The "Scattered Signals" Problem
Juggling texts and calls from delivery apps like Uber Eats while plating orders during the dinner rush
Forgetting to update customers on daily menu changes, like seasonal specials or ingredient shortages, or delays from supply chain hiccups
Wasted shifts responding to repeat questions about truck locations, operating hours, or parking spots at farmers' markets
Manual social posts about daily specials eating into prep time during busy lunch rushes when chopping veggies or firing up the grill
Losing regulars because of inconsistent follow-ups after catering events or food truck festivals
Overwhelmed by feedback texts on food quality or wait times that pile up during peak service hours
Custom-Built Communication AI That Fits Your Truck's Rhythm
We've helped over 50 food trucks ditch the chaos of scattered apps for unified systems that run like a well-oiled kitchen.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—you're probably thinking, 'Another tool to learn?' Not with us. At AIQ Labs, we dive into your daily grind: the way you text about today's special tacos, confirm catering gigs, or ping followers on Instagram. Then we craft a single AI system that automates it all. No more switching between your phone, POS, and social apps. It's built from scratch for your workflow, integrating with tools like Square or Toast, so messages go out seamlessly. Here's the thing: this isn't off-the-shelf. We own the code, you own the results—saving you time and those nagging subscription fees.
What Makes Us Different:
Reclaim Your Time and Watch Your Truck Thrive
Slash 15-20 Hours of Weekly Manual Messaging
Slash 15-20 Hours of Weekly Manual Messaging: Picture this: instead of thumbing out 50 texts during dinner rush to confirm orders from apps like DoorDash, your AI does it instantly, integrating with POS systems. Owners like you report freeing up enough time to add an extra catering stop each week, directly boosting revenue without extra hires—think $500 more from that pop-up. It's like having an extra hand in the kitchen—efficient and error-free.
See 25% ROI in the First Month Through Better Customer Retention
See 25% ROI in the First Month Through Better Customer Retention: You're probably thinking costs will pile up, but our systems pay for themselves fast. By automating personalized follow-ups—like 'Hey, loved your falafel wrap last week—back this Friday with our new tahini twist!'—food trucks see repeat orders jump 40% within weeks. One client cut customer churn by 30%, turning one-time festival eats into loyal fans and adding $2K monthly without ad spend on social or flyers.
Boost Productivity with Zero-Downtime Automation
Boost Productivity with Zero-Downtime Automation: Manual work is like overcooking your signature sauce—ruins the whole dish. Our AI handles peak-hour blasts about wait times for custom sandwiches or daily specials on fish tacos, letting your team plate faster without missing a beat. Result? Smoother service, happier lines at lunch counters, and you reclaiming evenings for family or tweaking recipes. Efficiency gains mean more trucks hitting 20% higher throughput on weekends, serving 50 extra plates per shift.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was glued to my phone between flipping burgers and checking fryer temps, answering the same 'Where are you today at the market?' texts. Now the system auto-sends location pings via Google Maps and even reminds folks about our vegan black bean options. Saved me 10 hours a week last month alone, and my repeat crowd's up 25%—closed two more pop-ups without stress, adding $1,200 in extra sales."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Rolling Tacos Food Truck, Austin TX
"We'd lose track of festival follow-ups, emailing quotes manually after long days slinging ribs and sides. Their custom AI pulls from our calendar and sends tailored thanks with next-event invites, like 'Thanks for the pulled pork order—catch us at the county fair next weekend!' In three months, bookings doubled to 15 events, and I actually get to enjoy the festivals now instead of chasing leads till midnight."
Jamal Carter
Operator, Street Eats BBQ Mobile Unit, Atlanta GA
"Social posts were a chore—trying to hype our Korean BBQ tacos while prepping kimchi and marinating meats during rush. The automation drafts and schedules them based on what sold well yesterday, like 'Our spicy beef tacos flew off the truck—grab one tomorrow!' Cut my admin time in half, and engagement's up 60% with 200 more likes per post. Worth every penny for the peace of mind during 100-order lunch rushes."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle our changing daily locations?
Great question—food trucks live by the spot, and we get that. Our custom AI integrates with your GPS or scheduling app to auto-update customers via text or push: 'We're at Market Square from 11 AM!' No manual input needed. We've built this for trucks like yours that shift parks weekly, saving owners from repetitive announcements. Setup takes a quick mapping session, and it learns your patterns for even smarter predictions. Result? Customers find you faster, lines form quicker, and you dodge those 'Where are you?' floods. One truck owner cut location queries by 80% in the first week, freeing up prep time.
Will the AI messages sound like a robot, or match our brand voice?
You're probably thinking it'll come off stiff—no way. We train the AI on your actual texts and posts, capturing that fun, casual vibe like 'Grab a fresh wrap before we sell out!' It's not generic; we fine-tune it during build to mimic your style, even slang from your region. For a BBQ truck, it might say 'Ribs are smokin' hot today!' instead of formal alerts. Clients test and tweak phrases pre-launch, ensuring authenticity. This personalization boosts open rates by 40%, as it feels like you, not a bot. We've seen engagement soar because customers sense the real deal.
What if we already use apps like Square—does it integrate?
Absolutely, integration is our jam. We connect directly to Square, Toast, or whatever POS you're running, pulling order details for automated confirmations: 'Your falafel's ready in 5!' No data entry hassles. It's two-way too—customer replies update your system, like adding notes to orders. Setup involves secure API links we handle, with zero downtime. Food truck owners tell us this alone saves 5-7 hours weekly on manual logs. If your setup evolves, we adapt the code. Think of it as the glue that turns scattered tools into a smooth operation, without the subscription creep.
How much time does implementation take for a busy truck owner?
We keep it lean—most trucks are up and running in 2-4 weeks, with minimal disruption. Week 1: We chat about your flow (30-min call). Week 2: Build and test the core (you review samples). By week 3, it's live with a quick training sesh. No long commitments; it's phased so you see wins early, like auto-texts during your next shift. For a single truck, it's lighter than adding a new menu item. Owners appreciate the hands-off approach—we do the heavy lifting. Post-launch, tweaks are ongoing but take under an hour monthly. This gets you saving time fast, without pulling you from the truck.
Can this scale if I add another truck or go full catering?
Yes, designed for growth from the start. Our systems are modular—add a second truck, and we extend the AI to handle separate menus, locations, and customer lists without rebuilding. For catering shifts, it automates quote follow-ups and event reminders. We've scaled solutions for trucks expanding to fleets, maintaining that personal touch across channels. Metrics track per-truck performance, so you spot what's working. One client went from one truck to three in a year; their comms stayed seamless, adding $15K in bookings. It's like expanding your kitchen crew—efficient, not chaotic. We future-proof it based on your plans.
What about costs—how do I know it's worth it for my small operation?
Fair concern; food trucks run tight. Our custom builds start around $5K one-time, with optional $200/month maintenance—far less than stacking messaging apps. ROI hits quick: save 15 hours/week at $20/hour labor? That's $300 back immediately, plus happier customers driving 20% more repeats. We provide a free audit showing your exact savings potential, like cutting text fees from carriers. No lock-ins; you own it. Trucks under $500K revenue see payback in 1-2 months. It's an investment in efficiency, like upgrading your grill—pays off in better service and fuller days.
