The "Customer Chaos" Problem

Peak-hour inquiry overload from food truck lines, leaving customers waiting while you flip burgers and manage grill temps

Inconsistent responses to location updates for pop-up spots or special requests like gluten-free mods across social media and texts

Wasted time manually checking POS order statuses for repeat callers asking about their wrap ETAs during busy lunch rushes

Allergies and custom order questions like nut-free sauces piling up, risking bad reviews from frustrated patrons at festivals

Off-hours messages about catering inquiries for weekend food truck gigs going unanswered, missing out on corporate lunch bookings

Fragmented tools for handling texts about menu changes, calls for reservations, and app notifications slowing down your mobile truck operation

Why This Perfect Fit Transforms Your Truck

Boost Repeat Customers by 25%

Boost Repeat Customers by 25%: You're probably thinking, 'How do I turn one-time bites into regulars?' Our AI personalizes follow-ups—like reminding folks about their favorite falafel wrap based on past orders from your POS system—leading to more return visits during lunch rushes and higher tips without extra effort from your crew, as seen in pilots with taco trucks.

Cut Support Time in Half During Rushes

Cut Support Time in Half During Rushes: Picture this: A line out the door at your burger spot, and your phone's blowing up with questions about patty doneness. Our system handles 70% of inquiries autonomously, from ETA updates to sauce swaps, freeing you to focus on slinging plates, flipping burgers, and keeping the good vibes flowing—proven in high-volume food truck deployments over peak summer months.

Capture 15% More Off-Hours Leads

Capture 15% More Off-Hours Leads: After hours, when you're parked and powering down after a festival shift, our AI keeps the conversation going—answering catering queries for next-day pop-ups or group orders instantly. It's like having a night-shift helper who never sleeps, turning missed opportunities into booked events, with one falafel operator seeing three new weekend gigs in the first month.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we'd miss half our Instagram DMs during Taco Tuesdays, losing potential group orders for our mobile setup. Now, the AI handles allergy checks for spicy fillings and real-time location pings for our street parking flawlessly—our response rate jumped from 40% to 95% in just two weeks, and we've seen a solid uptick in evening catering bookings for office lunches."

Maria Gonzalez

Owner, Rolling Tacos Food Truck, Austin TX

"I was skeptical about AI for my burger truck, but this custom setup integrates right with my Square POS for inventory tracking. It even suggests upsells like chili cheese fries based on rainy weather alerts—cut my manual replies by 60% last summer during peak festival season, and customers love the quick, friendly vibe. No more juggling texts while grilling doubles on the flattop."

Jamal Carter

Founder and Head Chef, Grill on Wheels Mobile Burger Joint, Chicago IL

"Our falafel truck was drowning in questions about vegan tahini options after hours at markets. The AI they built for us responds in our voice, pulling from our menu database to confirm hummus sourcing, and hands off complex catering specs to me seamlessly. Booked three corporate events for 50+ people in the first month alone—game changer for our small team during weekend rushes."

Common Questions

How does the AI handle custom orders like 'no onions' during a busy rush?

Great question—food trucks live or die by those details. Our custom AI is trained on your specific menu and common tweaks, so it can confirm modifications instantly, cross-check allergens, and even update your POS in real-time. For example, if someone's asking about a gluten-free wrap swap, it pulls from your database and responds conversationally, like 'Sure, we can sub that for corn tortillas—no extra charge today!' If it's too nuanced, it pings you or your team seamlessly. We've seen trucks reduce order errors by 40% this way, keeping lines moving and customers smiling without you lifting a finger from the grill.

Will this work with my existing POS like Square or Toast?

Absolutely, and that's the beauty of our tailored approach. We don't force you into new tools; instead, we build deep, two-way integrations with whatever POS you're running—Square, Toast, Clover, you name it. The AI pulls live data for order statuses or inventory checks, so when a customer texts about their falafel ETA, it replies accurately without manual lookups. Setup takes about a week, and it's all secured to protect your sales data. One truck owner told us it shaved 2 hours off their daily admin, letting them focus on sourcing fresh ingredients instead.

What if the AI can't answer a question about a new menu item?

You're right to wonder—food trucks evolve fast with seasonal specials. Our system is designed to recognize gaps and escalate smartly: If it's something like a limited-time mango salsa query, the AI says, 'Great question! Let me grab the owner for the freshest details,' and notifies you via text or app. Meanwhile, it logs the interaction to update its knowledge base automatically. Over time, it learns from these handoffs, reducing escalations by up to 70%. It's flexible, not rigid, ensuring you never miss a sale while building a smarter assistant that grows with your menu.

Is this AI mobile-friendly for when I'm driving between spots?

Hands down, yes—it's built for the food truck life. The dashboard is a sleek mobile app that lets you monitor chats, approve escalations, or tweak responses on the fly, all voice-activated if needed. No clunky desktop required. Imagine getting a quick alert about a catering lead while en route to your next park spot, and replying with a thumbs-up. We've optimized it for spotty Wi-Fi too, syncing offline. Trucks using it report 50% less time parked answering phones, meaning more hours serving and less stress on the road.

How much does a custom setup cost, and what's the timeline?

Costs vary by your truck's scale, but for a standard setup—integrating POS, social, and basic voice—it's around $8K-$12K upfront, with no recurring fees since you own it. That's a one-time build versus $200+/month on generic bots. Timeline? We kick off with a free consult, then prototype in 2-3 weeks, full deploy in 4-6. One client, a BBQ truck, went live in a month and recouped costs through 20% more repeat business. It's an investment in efficiency, not expense, tailored to your cash flow without subscription traps.

Can it handle voice calls for customers who prefer talking?

Definitely—voice is huge for on-the-go customers calling about directions or group sizes. Our AI voice agents sound natural, like a friendly crew member, answering with your truck's vibe: 'Hey, we're at the market in 10—want the pulled pork special?' It handles basics like reservations or allergies, then transfers to you if needed. Integrated with your phone system, it logs calls for the knowledge base too. A pizza truck we worked with cut missed calls by 80%, turning after-dark inquiries into next-day pickups. It's all custom-tuned to avoid robotic feels that turn off foodies.
