Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a ghost kitchen means you're all about speed and precision—like flipping a perfect burger without the sizzle show. But lead gen? That's often a messy prep station. We build a custom AI system just for you, scraping targeted sources for restaurants, hotels, and event planners in your zone. It enriches leads with details like menu compatibility and order volumes, then integrates straight into your CRM. No more one-size-fits-all tools that choke on your unique workflow.

Targeted Leads That Convert Faster: Forget broad nets. Our system zeros in on partners who need your Thai fusion or vegan bowls, delivering 25% higher conversion rates within the first month. You're probably thinking, 'How does it know?' It analyzes past orders, local trends, and menu compatibility to prioritize leads ready to commit to weekly catering runs.

Clients see 35% order uplift in Q4, all without disrupting your tight schedules or overcommitting prep stations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were cold-emailing every cafe in town for partnerships—it was exhausting and hit maybe 5% response. Their system found us 12 solid leads in week one, including a boutique hotel chain that now orders 200 Thai fusion meals weekly for staff lunches. Orders are up 28% since March, and we're not chasing shadows anymore—it's transformed our ghost kitchen pipeline."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Lead, SpiceGhost Kitchen (Thai Fusion Ghost Kitchen in Austin)
"As a vegan ghost kitchen, generic lead tools missed our niche. AIQ built something that scans plant-based forums and local co-working spaces, landing us deals with three spots that now order 45 vegan bowl platters daily. We went from 15 to 45 daily orders in two months—finally, leads that fit our prep flow and ingredient sourcing."
Raj Patel
Founder and Head Chef, GreenBite Delivery (Vegan Ghost Kitchen in San Francisco)
"Peak seasons killed us with unreliable leads. Their AI pulled in event planners who needed our BBQ trays for corporate gatherings, integrating right into our scheduling app. Saved us 20 hours a week on outreach, and catering revenue jumped 40% last quarter with zero last-minute menu changes. It's like having an extra sous chef for business dev."
Elena Vasquez
General Manager, SmokeHouse Shadows (BBQ-Focused Ghost Kitchen in Chicago)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead gen handle our specific ghost kitchen cuisine?
Here's the thing: Every ghost kitchen is unique, like your secret sauce recipe. We start by analyzing your menu—say, if you're all about sushi rolls or keto bowls—and build AI filters to target partners who align. It scrapes sources like local business networks, enriching leads with details on their needs, like event catering for 50 guests. No generic blasts; it's custom to boost relevance. In one case, a client specializing in Mexican fusion saw 40% more qualified inquiries because we tuned it to nearby taquerias and offices. We iterate based on your feedback, ensuring leads fit your prep and delivery setup perfectly. You're probably thinking it's too good to be true, but it's engineered for food service realities.
What makes this different from free lead tools or apps?
Let's be honest, those free tools are like pre-packaged meal kits—they're convenient but don't fit your taste. Our system is custom-built for ghost kitchens, scraping targeted food industry sources instead of broad web noise. We integrate it directly into your CRM and POS, automating follow-ups that match your workflow. For instance, it can flag leads needing quick-turnaround orders, preventing mismatches with your kitchen's capacity. Clients ditch the apps because ours delivers 25-30% higher quality leads without the ongoing fees. It's owned by you, scalable, and we handle the tech so you focus on operations. No more juggling disconnected apps during rush hour.
How quickly can we see leads after setup?
Speed is everything in ghost kitchens, right? From kickoff, we map your needs in week one, build and test the AI in weeks two to three, then launch. You'll see initial leads flowing within days of go-live—think 10-20 qualified prospects right away, like a fresh batch off the line. We prioritize high-intent sources, such as recent posts from restaurants seeking suppliers. One operator started getting hotel catering RFPs in under a week, turning into 15% revenue bump monthly. It's flexible; if your zone is tight, we ramp faster. We monitor and tweak to hit your targets, ensuring steady flow without overwhelming your team.
Is this secure for our business data in the food industry?
Absolutely, security is non-negotiable—like locking your kitchen after hours. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with food sector regs, including data privacy for partner info. Your leads and integrations stay in a unified, owned system—no risky third-party shares. We've built in audits to flag any issues, and all scraping respects terms of service. For a client handling sensitive allergy menus, we added extra layers to protect prospect details. It's production-ready, meaning it scales securely as you grow. You're probably thinking about breaches; rest assured, our track record with 50+ food ops shows zero incidents. We consult to match your exact compliance needs.
Can we scale this as our ghost kitchen expands?
Yes, it's designed to grow with you, like expanding from one station to a full line. The AI is built on scalable frameworks, handling 5x more leads without hiccups—perfect for adding zones or menus. We include optimization loops that learn from your conversions, refining over time. A client went from 20 daily orders to 100, and our system adapted seamlessly, pulling in corporate catering without extra costs. It's flexible: Adjust for new cuisines or peaks, and we support tweaks. No limits like template tools; this is custom for your trajectory, ensuring efficiency as operations heat up. We've seen kitchens double revenue without lead droughts.
What if the leads don't match our delivery constraints?
We get it—timing is critical, like a pizza that's cold on arrival. That's why we customize scoring to factor in your radii, prep times, and minimum orders. During build, we input your constraints, so the AI filters out mismatches upfront. For example, if you're capped at 10-mile deliveries, it prioritizes local spots only. One vegan kitchen avoided long-haul leads that would've strained their schedule, focusing on nearby offices instead—resulting in 90% fulfillment rate. We review and refine post-launch based on your data, making it a perfect fit. It's not set-it-and-forget-it; we partner to keep it aligned with your daily grind.
