Custom-Built Chatbot for Your Food Truck
We've helped dozens of food trucks like yours eliminate after-hours gaps with AI tailored to mobile operations.
Why Choose Us
You're probably thinking, 'Another chatbot? Mine's just a generic template that confuses everyone about my rotating menu.' Here's the thing: we build yours from scratch at AIQ Labs, integrating it seamlessly with your POS system, social media, and delivery apps. It's like having an extra crew member who never sleeps, handling queries about your spicy taco specials or tomorrow's spot at the farmers market. We train it on your exact lingo—think 'taco truck vibes' instead of stiff corporate speak. Let's be honest, food trucks thrive on quick, personal connections; our solution ensures those never drop, even at 2 a.m. when cravings hit.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock 24/7 Opportunities
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Picture this: a customer pings at 2 AM about your signature vegan burger's gluten-free bun availability while planning a late-night snack run. Our chatbot responds instantly with details, books the mobile pre-order, and syncs it to your POS system—turning potential walk-aways into <span class="gradient">30% more sales</span> during off-hours like post-bar rushes. You wake up to confirmed revenue from truck-side pickups, not regrets.
Skyrocket Customer Satisfaction
Food truck lines at lunch can stretch around the block. Shorten virtual waits too—get instant answers on nut-free allergens, exact GPS parking spots, or halal certifications in seconds. We've seen satisfaction scores jump from 3.2 to 4.8 stars on Google Reviews within the first quarter, all because customers feel heard, even when you're firing up the grill for the next wave.
Operational Efficiency Without the Chaos
Ditch the phone buzzing mid-service while you're deep-frying orders. Our custom bot filters noise, handles 80% of routine questions like 'What's the current wait time at the window?' or 'Is the spicy sriracha sauce available today?', freeing you to focus on what matters: perfecting those street tacos. It's efficiency wrapped in a warm, conversational tone that matches your brand's vibe, from casual foodie chats to flavor pairing tips.
What Clients Say
"Before this, we'd get slammed with texts during lunch rushes and miss half the after-dark inquiries about our truck's new spot near the nightlife district. Now, our chatbot handles real-time location updates, vegan option tweaks, and pre-orders flawlessly—last month alone, it captured 45 extra mobile orders on weekends, boosting our off-peak revenue by 28%. It's like adding a night shift without the payroll or extra propane costs."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Tacos on Wheels
"I was skeptical at first, but they customized it to know our falafel wrap variations, including tahini sauce swaps for dairy-free diets, and even suggest pairings like mint lemonade add-ons. Response times dropped from hours to seconds during peak farmers' market hours, and we cut down on no-shows by 25% with instant SMS confirmations. Honestly, it's transformed how we connect with regulars who crave our Middle Eastern street eats."
Jamal Patel
Founder, Street Eats Truck
"Our old setup was a mess for event bookings—customers would message about table setups for our grilled skewers and ghost if we didn't reply fast during setup. This AI thing? It books spots 24/7, handles group sizes for pop-up barbecues, and integrates seamlessly with our Google Calendar for catering slots. In three months, we've filled 12 more weekend pop-up events than last year, turning inquiries into packed patios. Game-changer for a mobile grill biz like ours."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle my changing daily locations?
We integrate it directly with your scheduling tools or Google Calendar, so it pulls real-time spots—like 'We're at the downtown market today from 11 AM to 2 PM.' It even sends proactive updates to frequent customers. For food trucks, this means no more 'Where are you?' floods during moves. We've customized this for trucks hitting multiple events weekly, reducing location queries by 60% and letting you focus on prep. It's all built to your workflow, updating automatically without manual input.
Can it process actual orders through chat?
Absolutely. The bot guides customers through your menu, handles customizations (extra cheese on that burrito?), and syncs orders to your POS like Square or Clover. Payments link securely via Stripe or your app. In one case, a taco truck saw 35% of off-peak sales come through chat pre-orders. We train it on your exact items to avoid mix-ups, and it confirms details instantly—perfect for busy operators who can't pause mid-service.
What if a customer has a complex question the bot can't answer?
Smart handoffs are key. If it's something nuanced, like a large catering quote or allergy deep-dive, the bot collects details and notifies you or your team via text/email with full context. No lost info. For food service, we've set this up to prioritize urgent issues, ensuring 95% resolution without escalation. It's like a vigilant front-of-house staffer, keeping satisfaction high even at scale.
Is this chatbot secure for handling customer data?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with food safety regs. We use enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access. Data like orders or preferences stays protected, with audit logs for compliance. Unlike generic tools, our custom build avoids third-party vulnerabilities. Food truck owners we've worked with appreciate how it anonymizes sensitive info while delivering personalized service—peace of mind for your mobile setup.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a food truck?
Pricing starts around $5,000 for a tailored build, depending on integrations like your POS or delivery apps. This includes setup, training, and three months of optimization—no ongoing subscriptions, just ownership. For a single truck, it's often a one-time investment that pays back in months through captured sales. We offer flexible plans, and our free consult breaks it down based on your volume—say, handling 100 daily queries. It's built to grow with you, far cheaper than hiring extra help.
Will the chatbot match my food truck's casual tone?
Yes, we craft its personality to echo your brand—fun and approachable, like 'Hey, craving our loaded fries? They're fresh today!' during chats. We pull from your social media and menu descriptions for authenticity. Food truck vibes are all about relatability, so we avoid robotic replies. Testing with real scenarios ensures it feels like an extension of your crew, boosting engagement without the stiffness of template bots.
