Never Miss a Lead, Even After Closing
Never Miss a Lead, Even After Closing: Off-hours, when a corporate client queries catering for 50 with vegan platters, the bot qualifies needs, suggests menu pairings, and books a tasting slot. Meal kit services using this capture 40% more leads, converting site visitors to $10K+ quarterly contracts without overnight staffing.
Streamline Operations for Peak Efficiency

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose weekend inquiries about our gluten-free family meal bundles—folks just bounced to competitors. Now, it handles 80% of those chats from 10 PM to 6 AM, boosting our weekly subscription renewals by 15% last quarter. It's like having a night-shift order taker who never clocks out."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Manager at FreshFit Meals, a subscription-based meal delivery service
"Our keto customers were flooding us with questions on cross-contamination for shellfish allergens during the dinner rush. The custom bot with AIQ links directly to our ingredient database, resolving queries in seconds and suggesting safe swaps. Add-on sales for electrolyte boosters rose 22% in the first month—game-changer for our margins."
Mike Rivera
Owner of NutriPrep Delivery, specializing in low-carb meal kits
"I was doubtful about a chatbot for our boutique meal service, but it snagged a 2 AM lead for a 75-person office brunch with custom smoothie bars. That single chat locked in $5K in monthly recurring catering—setup was just two weeks, and ROI hit tenfold by quarter's end."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle custom meal requests specific to our service?
We train it on your exact offerings, so it can suggest tweaks like adding extra protein or swapping veggies while checking inventory in real-time. For instance, if a customer wants low-carb options, it pulls from your menu database and even calculates updated macros. This isn't generic—it's built to mirror your branding and processes, ensuring responses feel like they're from your team. We've seen this cut down on back-and-forth emails by 50%, letting customers place orders faster during busy evenings.
What if a query is too complicated for the bot, like a large group order?
No worries—it's designed with smart handoffs. The bot gathers key details, like group size and dietary restrictions, then notifies your team via integrated channels like SMS or your CRM. In one meal prep case, this feature captured a 100-person corporate order inquiry at midnight, passing it seamlessly so the client closed the deal by morning. You stay in control, with the bot handling the easy stuff to free up your staff for high-value interactions.
Can it integrate with our existing ordering and delivery systems?
Absolutely. We create deep, two-way API connections to tools like your POS, Shopify for e-commerce, or delivery apps like DoorDash. For example, it can update a customer's app with live tracking or confirm stock for add-ons. This unification eliminates data silos common in food service, where manual checks waste hours. Our approach means you're not juggling apps; everything flows through one owned system, scalable as your subscriber base grows.
How secure is the chatbot for handling customer data in food service?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive info like allergies or payment details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access, all custom-built to your needs. In the food world, where trust is everything, this prevents breaches that could tank your rep. One client appreciated how we anonymized data logs while still providing insights— no risks, just reliable service that keeps subscribers coming back for their weekly boxes.
What's the timeline and cost for setting this up for a small meal prep business?
For most SMBs like yours, we deliver a fully integrated chatbot in 4-6 weeks, starting with a quick audit of your workflows. Costs are transparent and one-time for the build, avoiding endless subscriptions—think $15K-$30K depending on complexity, with ROI hitting in months via captured leads. A recent project for a 50-employee service wrapped in five weeks, and they recouped costs through 20% more after-hours conversions. We tailor quotes after a free consult to fit your budget and scale.
Will the bot improve over time with our customer interactions?
Yes, it's not static. We embed machine learning that refines responses based on your data, like learning common tweaks for popular meals. Quarterly reviews let us optimize— for a client, this meant better handling of seasonal demands, boosting query resolution from 65% to 92% in three months. You're in the loop, approving changes, so it evolves with your business, catching nuances like rising demand for plant-based options without constant manual input.
