Our Tailored AI Lead Engine: Built for Your Truck's Rhythm
We've powered lead systems for over 50 food service operations, from street vendors to mobile fleets, turning chaotic customer hunts into streamlined revenue streams.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, food trucks aren't cookie-cutter operations. Your route might swing from farmers markets to corporate parks, and one-size-fits-all lead tools just can't keep up—they spit out generic lists that waste your time. That's why we build custom AI lead generation right for you. We analyze your unique data, like past sales spikes during festivals or slow days in the rain, to create a system that scrapes local event calendars, enriches profiles with dietary prefs, and integrates directly into your scheduling app. No more juggling apps. It's flexible, owned by you, and scales as your truck does. You're probably thinking, 'How does this fit my crazy hours?' It runs 24/7, alerting you to hot leads via text while you focus on flipping burgers.
What Makes Us Different:
Why This Fits Your Workflow Perfectly
Fill Gaps in Your Schedule with Precision Leads
Fill Gaps in Your Schedule with Precision Leads: Our system predicts busy spots like office parks or festivals and surfaces nearby prospects craving your tacos just when you need them—think event planners seeking quick lunches. Result? A 40% uptick in bookings within the first month, like that taco truck owner who went from empty Fridays to landing three corporate lunch contracts in a single week.
Boost Repeat Business Without Extra Marketing Spend
Boost Repeat Business Without Extra Marketing Spend: AI tracks customer habits from past orders and sends hyper-personal nudges, like 'Rainy day? Warm up with our signature chili before your next shift.' Food trucks using this see loyalty jump 25%, turning one-time bites into weekly rituals that fill your route consistently.
Reclaim Hours for What You Love: Cooking and Serving
Reclaim Hours for What You Love: Cooking and Serving: Automate the grunt work of lead chasing, so you spend less time on your phone during setup or ingredient sourcing. Owners report saving 15 hours weekly, redirecting energy to menu tweaks like perfecting that viral street taco that keeps customers lining up.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was posting my daily locations on Instagram and hoping for walk-ups—it was hit or miss, especially during those slow mid-week lulls. Their custom lead system started pulling in event planners from nearby office districts, and last quarter alone, we landed three weddings plus two corporate picnics that covered our off-season costs and then some. It's like having a scout team working while I'm slinging sandwiches at the farmers market."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner of Rolling Tacos Food Truck
"Juggling routes in a big city like Atlanta means missing leads constantly amid the traffic. AIQ built this thing that texts me qualified catering requests based on my smoked brisket specials, and we've doubled our weekend revenue in just two months by booking more backyard BBQs and tailgate events. No more generic lists; it's all tuned to what sells out fastest on game days."
Jamal Carter
Founder of Smoky Wheels BBQ Mobile
"I thought lead gen was for brick-and-mortar spots, but this setup analyzes foot traffic data around college campuses and flags vegan crowds for my falafel wraps. Saved me from a brutal winter slump—booked 20 pop-up events at wellness fairs in three weeks, boosting sales by 35%. Feels custom-made for my plant-based menu, not some off-the-shelf template."

Operator of Green Bite Vegan Truck

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this lead gen handle my mobile schedule?
Food trucks move, and so does our system. We build it to sync with your GPS-tracked routes, pulling leads from upcoming spots like parks or markets. For instance, if you're heading to a downtown event, the AI scrapes attendee lists and enriches them with group sizes or cuisines—delivering qualified prospects right to your phone. It's flexible, updating in real-time without you lifting a finger. Owners love how it anticipates slow zones, like rainy afternoons, and suggests nearby office catering pushes. No generic blasts; everything's tuned to your exact path, saving you from manual scouting and boosting fills by 30% on average. We even integrate weather APIs to prioritize indoor event leads when storms hit.
What's the difference from free social media ads?
Here's the thing: Social ads are like shouting into a crowded food hall—lots of noise, few bites. Our custom AI digs deeper, scraping targeted sources beyond platforms, like local business directories or event calendars, then enriches with specifics like 'vegetarian groups of 10.' You're probably thinking it's overkill for a truck, but it turns vague likes into booked gigs. We saw one falafel vendor go from 5 ad responses a week to 25 qualified leads, all integrated into their booking app. No ad spend waste; it's owned tech that learns your menu's hot items and personalizes outreach, like suggesting your spicy special to heat-loving crowds. Professional, efficient, and way more effective for your on-the-go life.
Can this integrate with my existing POS system?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. Whether you're on Square, Toast, or Clover, we craft two-way integrations that pull sales data to refine lead scoring—think prioritizing prospects who match your top sellers, like burger lovers during lunch rushes. No clunky exports; leads flow straight in, auto-generating quotes based on your inventory. A pizza truck client integrated in a week and cut manual entry by 80%, freeing time for dough tossing. It's built for your workflow, handling peak-hour spikes without slowing you down. We test rigorously to avoid glitches, ensuring smooth ops from lead to payout. Custom means it fits your setup perfectly, not forcing a square peg into your round grill.
How much does a custom lead system cost for a food truck?
Costs vary by your needs, but for a solo truck, we start around $5,000 for the build, with no ongoing subscriptions since you own it. Think of it like investing in a better grill—it pays off fast. A basic setup includes scraping, enrichment, and POS links; add-ons like voice agents bump it up. We tailor quotes after a free consult, factoring your scale—say, 100 daily customers versus a fleet. One owner recouped in two months via extra catering. No hidden fees; transparent pricing focused on your ROI. Let's chat specifics; we'll model it against your current lead costs, showing how it slashes waste and amps efficiency for your mobile hustle.
Is the system secure for handling customer data?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, where allergies and prefs are sensitive. We build with end-to-end encryption, GDPR-compliant storage, and role-based access—so only you see lead details. Unlike off-the-shelf tools prone to breaches, our custom code avoids third-party risks, hosting on secure clouds with your control. For example, we anonymize data during enrichment to protect privacy while qualifying prospects. A catering truck using it handled 500 leads last season without issues, all audit-ready for health regs. We include regular updates and penetration testing, ensuring it's as reliable as your health permits. Peace of mind lets you focus on flavors, not fears.
How quickly can I see leads coming in?
Fast—most trucks see initial leads within days of launch. We prioritize quick wins: Day one, basic scraping kicks off; by week one, enriched prospects hit your dashboard. It's like seasoning a stew—starts simple, builds depth. A gyro vendor got 15 quality leads in the first 48 hours from local office events. We monitor and optimize weekly, using your feedback to hone accuracy. No long waits; the AI learns from early interactions, like menu matches, to ramp up relevance. For your operational efficiency, it's designed to integrate without disrupting service, delivering steady flow that grows with use. Expect 20-50% more opportunities in the first month, tailored to your truck's vibe.
