Custom-Built Knowledge Automation That Fits Your Ghost Kitchen Like a Glove

We've powered knowledge systems for over 50 food service ops, from high-volume ghost kitchens to multi-concept chains, delivering tailored AI that captures your unique workflows.

Why Choose Us

Let's be honest, running a ghost kitchen means juggling endless details—recipes that evolve with trends, supplier quirks that trip you up, and training that eats into your slim margins. Here's the thing: our Knowledge Base Automation isn't some off-the-shelf template. We build it custom for you, ingesting your emails, docs, and chat logs to create a smart, searchable hub. You're probably thinking, 'How does that save me time?' Picture this: instead of your night shift lead yelling across the kitchen for the vegan sauce substitute, they query the AI and get it instantly. We train it on your exact lingo, like 'Uber Eats batch sizes' or 'DoorDash allergy flags,' ensuring it's as intuitive as your favorite order management app. The result? A unified system you own, no subscription traps, boosting efficiency without the chaos.

What Makes Us Different:

AI that auto-organizes your ghost kitchen's scattered files into a central, voice-searchable base
Custom integrations with your POS and delivery platforms for real-time knowledge updates
Scalable training modules that adapt as your menu pivots for seasonal ghost concepts

Unlock Time and Cost Wins Tailored to Your Operations

Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Routine Searches

Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly on Routine Searches: No more digging through folders for that one gluten-free poke bowl variation during a lunch surge on Postmates. Our automation delivers instant answers via voice query, letting your team crank out orders faster and hit those delivery SLAs without the stress. That's real ROI—fewer delays mean happier platforms, repeat business, and up to 20% more orders fulfilled per shift.

Slash Training Time for Transient Staff by 50%

Slash Training Time for Transient Staff by 50%: Ghost kitchens thrive on quick hires for seasonal surges, but onboarding eats hours on tasks like portioning proteins. We embed your processes into an AI coach that guides new preppers through supplier yields for seasonal veggies or ServSafe hygiene protocols on the fly. Result? They ramp up in days, not weeks, cutting labor costs by 25% and minimizing errors in high-turnover environments during peak dinner rushes.

Boost Compliance and Reduce Risk Fines by 70%

Boost Compliance and Reduce Risk Fines by 70%: Food safety docs like temp logs for raw chicken storage scattered? Our system centralizes them with smart alerts for expirations or updates, such as refrigeration checks in your commercial kitchen. This isn't just efficiency—it's peace of mind, avoiding those nasty health department hits that can shut down a busy night and cost thousands in fines.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, our ghost kitchen team was losing two hours a shift just flipping through old emails for gluten-free ramen tweaks during DoorDash rushes. Now, with their custom knowledge base, queries take seconds via mobile app, and we've cut prep errors by 40% over the last three months—handling 150 more bowls weekly without extra staff. It's like having an extra hand in the kitchen without the payroll hit."

Maria Gonzalez

Operations Lead, Urban Eats Ghost Kitchen

"We run multiple concepts like sushi and tacos from one space, and info overload was killing us—supplier contacts for fresh fish buried in Slack chats, menu history nowhere during inventory crunches. AIQ built this tailored system that pulls everything together with search-by-ingredient. Saved us about 12 hours a week on restocking, and our DoorDash ratings jumped from 4.2 to 4.7 because fulfillment's smoother now with fewer stockouts."

Raj Patel

Founder, Fusion Fleet Kitchens

"Hiring part-timers for peak summer seasons was a nightmare; they'd forget cross-contamination protocols for nut allergies mid-rush on Uber Eats. Their AI knowledge tool changed that—it's searchable by voice, even over the fryer noise, pulling up ServSafe guidelines instantly. Dropped our training from a full day to 30 minutes, boosted order accuracy to 98%, and no compliance issues since rollout last quarter—no more surprise inspections derailing service."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle the fast-changing menus in ghost kitchens?

Ghost kitchens pivot quick—think swapping a trending taco for sushi bowls overnight. Our system uses AI to track and version those changes automatically, pulling from your POS data or manual uploads. It creates searchable histories, so your team never preps the wrong batch. We've seen ops save 8-10 hours weekly by ditching manual spreadsheets. Plus, it's custom-built to your workflow, integrating with apps like Toast or Square for seamless updates. No more 'where's the old recipe?' panic during a promo launch. The ROI? Faster adaptations mean you capture trends before competitors, boosting order volumes by 15-20% in our client cases.

Will this replace our current shared drives or note apps?

Not replace—enhance and unify. We start by migrating your Google Drives, Notion pages, or Slack threads into a smart AI hub that's way more intuitive. For ghost kitchens, this means instant access to supplier yields or allergy cross-checks without endless scrolling. It's like upgrading from a cluttered walk-in fridge to a labeled pantry; everything's findable in seconds. Our custom setup ensures it talks to your existing tools, cutting data entry by 70%. Clients tell us it feels like the kitchen's collective brain, reducing errors that used to cost hours in rework. And since you own it, no subscription fees piling up like unused spices.

What's the setup time for a busy ghost kitchen like mine?

We keep it lean—most setups take 4-6 weeks, phased to not disrupt your operations. Week one: We audit your info sources without pulling staff off the line. Then we build and test in parallel, launching with minimal downtime. For a mid-sized ghost op handling 200 orders daily, it's plug-and-play with your delivery integrations. You're probably thinking it'll be invasive, but it's not; we work nights if needed. Post-launch, we optimize based on your first week's data, fine-tuning for peak hours. The payoff? Immediate time savings— one client hit 12 hours reclaimed in the first month, letting them scale without extra hires.

How secure is the knowledge base for sensitive recipes?

Security's non-negotiable in food service, especially with proprietary sauces or concepts that set your ghost kitchen apart. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and role-based access—cooks see basics, managers get full recipes. Data stays in your owned system, compliant with standards like GDPR or FDA guidelines for food ops. No cloud roulette; everything's fortified like a locked spice vault. We've integrated audit trails to track views, preventing leaks that could copycat your menu. Clients in competitive scenes, like urban delivery hubs, report zero breaches since implementation. It's peace of mind that lets you focus on slinging meals, not worrying about IP theft.

Can it scale if I expand to multiple ghost locations?

Absolutely—scalability's baked in from day one. We design the AI to handle multi-site data, syncing knowledge across locations so a recipe tweak in one kitchen updates everywhere instantly. For expanding ghosts, this means consistent quality without retraining per spot. Imagine centralizing supplier negotiations or compliance docs; it cuts redundancy and saves 20+ hours across teams. Our architecture uses robust frameworks that grow with you, unlike rigid templates that buckle under volume. One client went from one to four sites in a year, and their system just adapted, boosting efficiency by 30% without added overhead. It's built for your trajectory, not a one-size-fits-all limit.

How do I measure the ROI on this investment?

We make it straightforward with built-in metrics—track hours saved on searches, error reductions in orders, and faster onboarding times right from the dashboard. For ghost kitchens, that's translating to 15-25% lower labor costs per shift, as teams spend less time fumbling for info. Here's the thing: We baseline your current waste (like those 2-hour recipe hunts) during discovery, then show monthly gains. Clients see payback in 3-6 months through efficiency, like fulfilling 10% more orders without extra staff. It's not vague; think quantifiable wins like fewer customer complaints from prep mistakes, directly padding your margins in a cutthroat delivery market.
