With over 50 food service integrations under our belt, we've fine-tuned chatbots that understand the chaos of delivery schedules and customer cravings.

Why Choose Us

Here's the thing: food delivery isn't a 9-to-5 gig. Your customers want answers when the hunger hits, whether it's 2 PM or 2 AM. We build an intelligent assistant at AIQ Labs that's always on, trained on your menu, routes, and policies. It handles everything from tracking a missing burrito to suggesting upsells during wait times. No generic templates here—this is custom code woven into your exact systems, like your POS or dispatch software. You're probably thinking, 'Will it really feel like my team?' Absolutely. We make it seamless, so it escalates to humans only when needed, keeping your ops efficient and customers coming back.

Learns from your past interactions to personalize responses, like recommending favorites based on order history

Scales effortlessly during lunch rushes or holiday surges without extra hires

Unlock Round-the-Clock Wins for Your Delivery Service

Never Miss a Lead, Even at Midnight

Never Miss a Lead, Even at Midnight: Picture this: a customer pings about a late-night sushi craving during a 2 AM shift. Our chatbot responds instantly with fresh menu options, current prep times, and accurate ETA based on kitchen traffic, turning potential frustration into a completed order. In food delivery, those after-hours gaps mean lost revenue— we've seen clients capture 25% more orders this way, especially for high-margin items like ramen bowls, all without paying overtime to night staff.

Boost Satisfaction with Instant, Accurate Answers

Boost Satisfaction with Instant, Accurate Answers: Delivery hiccups like traffic delays or mix-ups with spicy orders happen daily. Your chatbot fields them 24/7, pulling live GPS data from drivers and menu allergen info to reassure customers in under 10 seconds. No more waiting on hold—responses keep reviews glowing on platforms like DoorDash and repeat business flowing for favorites like tacos. One client cut negative feedback by 35% just by closing those response gaps during lunch surges.

Streamline Ops and Cut Support Costs

Streamline Ops and Cut Support Costs: Let's be honest, juggling texts about order statuses, calls on substitution options, and chats during dinner rushes drains your team. Automate routine queries—like 'Where's my burrito?' or 'Can I swap fries for salad?'—and free up staff for kitchen prep or route optimizations. Efficiency skyrockets, with some delivery services reporting 40 hours saved weekly on support alone, redirecting focus to plating orders faster.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose so many weekend brunch orders because no one was around to answer questions about our vegan avocado toast or delivery zones in busy neighborhoods. Now, it handles 80% of inquiries overnight, including real-time stock checks, and our order completion rate jumped from 72% to 91% in just two months—especially boosting our Sunday mimosas and eggs benedict sales. Game-changer for our late-night crew."

Maria Gonzalez

Operations Manager, QuickBite Urban Deliveries

"Our pizza deliveries were getting slammed with refund requests for cold pepperoni slices after hours, especially on Friday nights. The chatbot integrated with our tracking system and resolved most issues on the spot by offering quick reheat tips or credits—cut our manual follow-ups by half and kept customers loyal to our garlic knots too. Implemented it in a week, and it's been smooth ever since."

Raj Patel

Owner, SliceExpress Pizzeria

"Dealing with promo code mix-ups for our buy-one-get-one burger deals was a nightmare during dinner rushes. This custom bot not only explains them clearly but also applies discounts automatically while checking combo availability. Sales increased 18% in the first quarter, particularly for our signature cheeseburgers, and my team's not buried in chats anymore. Feels like having an extra staffer who never sleeps through the grill rushes."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Customization

We dive into your delivery workflows, menu details, and pain points—like those pesky after-hours allergy checks—to design a chatbot that fits like a glove. No off-the-shelf stuff; it's built for your routes and rush hours.

Step 2

Integration and Training

Our engineers wire it into your POS, dispatch apps, and order systems. We train the AI on your data for spot-on responses, testing scenarios like 'Is my burger ready?' to ensure it's ready for prime time.

Step 3

Launch and Optimization

Go live with 24/7 monitoring. We tweak based on real interactions—say, refining upsell prompts during waits—so it evolves with your business, maximizing every opportunity without the hassle.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with custom code, not fragile no-code hacks that break during your busiest delivery surges—giving you true ownership over a system that scales with your growth.

Unlike assemblers piecing together rented tools, we create unified AI that owns your data, eliminating subscription traps and ensuring seamless handoffs between chat and your dispatch team.

Our deep integrations go two-way with food service platforms, pulling live order statuses instantly—something superficial connectors just can't match without constant glitches.

We focus on production-ready reliability, tested in high-volume scenarios like pizza rushes, so your chatbot handles 500+ queries daily without crashing, unlike brittle off-the-shelf bots.

Ownership means no vendor lock-in; we hand over a fully owned digital asset tailored to delivery quirks, freeing you from juggling disconnected apps that slow down ops.

Our engineers, not just consultants, architect for the long haul—predicting needs like seasonal menu changes so your support evolves without endless rebuilds.

We replace chaos with a single, intuitive dashboard for monitoring chats and metrics, ditching the tool overload that plagues most food delivery managers.

True scalability comes from advanced frameworks we use, handling your growth from 50 to 500 daily orders without performance dips—far beyond no-code limits.

We prioritize your workflow's nuances, like integrating with rider apps for ETAs, creating a cohesive system that feels custom-built, not bolted-on.

By owning the tech stack, you avoid brittle connections that fail during peak hours; our solutions are engineered for 99.9% uptime in the fast-paced food world.

Common Questions

How does the chatbot handle real-time delivery updates?

Great question—timing is everything in food delivery. Our custom chatbot connects directly to your dispatch and GPS systems, so when a customer asks 'Where's my order?', it fetches the latest location and ETA in seconds. For example, if your rider's stuck in traffic en route to a downtown drop-off, it can even suggest alternatives like rescheduling. We've built this with robust APIs to avoid delays, ensuring responses feel as quick as a drive-thru. Clients tell us this cuts anxious follow-ups by over 60%, letting your team focus on prep instead of pings. It's all tailored to your specific routes and vehicles, no generic delays here.

Can it manage allergy or dietary questions accurately?

Absolutely, and it's crucial for food service trust. We train the AI on your full menu details, including ingredients, cross-contamination risks, and vegan/gluten-free options. Say a customer messages about nut allergies before ordering Thai takeout—it cross-references and flags safe choices instantly, even suggesting alternatives. Unlike basic bots, ours uses context from the conversation to remember details across messages. One delivery client saw a 25% drop in related complaints after implementation. We also set up easy updates for seasonal changes, like summer BBQ swaps, keeping it precise without manual tweaks every time.

What if the chatbot can't resolve a query?

Smart escalation is built-in to keep things smooth. If it's something tricky, like a disputed charge on a large catering order, the bot seamlessly hands off to your team with full chat history and context— no starting from scratch. It notifies the right person via your internal tools, like Slack or your ops app, during business hours or queues it appropriately. This hybrid approach means 70-80% of queries resolve automatically, based on our food delivery projects, while complex ones get human touch without frustrating waits. You're probably thinking about training time— we make it intuitive so your staff jumps in effortlessly.

How quickly can we get this up and running for our service?

We're all about efficiency for busy ops. From initial chat, we can have a prototype integrated and testing in 2-4 weeks, depending on your current setup like POS or app complexity. Full launch follows quick iterations based on your feedback—think handling sample queries for burger deliveries or sushi rolls. No long waits that disrupt your schedule; we've rolled out for similar services in under a month. Post-launch, we monitor for the first week to optimize, ensuring it hits the ground running during your next peak shift. It's custom, so we align with your timeline, avoiding any downtime in orders.

Is the chatbot secure for handling customer payment info?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with food orders involving cards and addresses. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like PCI DSS for any payment-related chats, but the bot never stores sensitive data itself—instead, it guides users securely to your payment gateway. For instance, if verifying a refund on a cold pasta delivery, it confirms details without exposing info. Our systems are audited regularly, and we've helped delivery firms avoid breaches that plague generic tools. Plus, it logs interactions for compliance, giving you peace of mind while keeping responses fast and customer-focused.

Will it integrate with our existing delivery management software?

Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations that play nice with tools like DoorDash APIs, Uber Eats, or your in-house dispatch system. The chatbot can pull order IDs, update statuses, or even reroute if needed— all without manual entry. For a client with custom routing software, we synced it to notify about delays in real-time, reducing errors by 40%. We map it to your exact workflow, whether it's tracking couriers for tacos or fine-dining couriers, ensuring no silos. If your setup's unique, our builders adapt quickly, turning potential headaches into seamless support.
