Join 250+ food service pros with streamlined ops and happier customers
The "Lead Leak" Problem
Customers vanish after a quick chat at your truck because you can't jot down their details amid the lunch rush chaos, like forgetting a potential group order for 20 office workers
Forgetting to follow up on event leads means losing out on catering gigs that could double your weekend revenue, such as weddings or corporate lunches
Scattered notes from pop-up spots and social media DMs about custom menu requests turn into a nightmare when you're prepping sauces for the next shift
Missed texts from regulars asking about your daily specials, like today's spicy shrimp tacos, erode loyalty faster than a burnt batch of fries
Juggling payment apps and inquiry logs for add-on orders pulls you away from the grill, spiking stress during peak hours when lines are out the door
Seasonal surges like summer festivals overwhelm your phone's contact list with vendor contacts and fan emails, leading to duplicated efforts and overlooked high-value corporate catering leads
Our Custom Lead Management Automation Built Just for Your Truck
We've powered lead systems for over 50 food service ops, from bustling trucks to full kitchens, turning chaotic customer interactions into organized revenue streams.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a food truck means your leads come fast and furious— a quick Instagram shoutout, a festival walk-up, or a vendor network tip. But without a smart system, they're gone like steam from a fresh tamale. At AIQ Labs, we craft a tailored AI automation that captures every lead in real-time, scores them based on your unique patterns (like who's craving your signature birria on Fridays), and nurtures them with personalized nudges. You're probably thinking, 'How does this fit my mobile setup?' We integrate it seamlessly with your POS, social channels, and even voice notes from your truck— all custom-built to match your workflow, not some off-the-shelf template. The result? A unified dashboard on your tablet that keeps you focused on slinging food, not chasing contacts.

What Clients Say
""Before AIQ, I'd lose half my festival leads to bad handwriting or a dead phone battery while serving lines of craft beer enthusiasts. Now, everything auto-syncs to my dashboard, and I've booked three extra corporate taco bar gigs this month alone— that's an extra $2,500 from events I wouldn't have followed up on otherwise.""
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Tacos on Wheels Food Truck
""The lunch rush used to mean ignoring texts until close while grilling endless chicken shawarma, but this automation pings me on high-potential leads right away. Last quarter, it helped me convert 12 walk-up inquiries for vegan wraps into regulars, saving me about 12 hours a week and boosting sales by 28% during peak summer months. Game-changer for a solo operator like me.""
Jamal Carter
Founder and Head Chef, Grill Street Mobile Eatery
""We were drowning in social media messages about custom dessert platters during pop-ups at food halls, but AIQ's system sorts and follows up automatically. In the first two months, we saw a 35% drop in missed opportunities for birthday catering, and our repeat customer rate jumped from foodies requesting our signature churros— no more manual spreadsheets after midnight shifts.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle leads when I'm offline at a remote market?
Great question— food trucks often hit spots with iffy Wi-Fi, so we build in offline mode that queues leads locally on your device. Once you're back in range, it syncs everything seamlessly to the cloud dashboard. For instance, if a customer gives you their number for a future order during a park event, the AI logs it via voice or quick tap, then auto-sends a confirmation when connected. This ensures zero leads lost, and we've fine-tuned it for trucks like yours to handle 50+ daily interactions without a hitch. Plus, it integrates with your phone's native apps, so setup feels natural, not forced. The end result? You focus on the grill, and leads flow in reliably, boosting your efficiency by up to 20% even on the move.
What's the ROI timeline for a small food truck like mine?
You're probably thinking about quick wins with your tight margins, and fair enough. Most of our food truck clients see payback within 2-3 months through time savings alone— think 10-15 hours reclaimed weekly from manual tracking, which translates to $1,000+ in extra revenue from nurtured leads. We base this on real cases: one truck owner cut follow-up time by 80%, turning it into two more catering slots per month. Our custom build ensures it fits your workflow, like auto-pulling data from event apps, so ROI hits fast without ongoing fees. We even provide a 90-day performance review to tweak for optimal gains, making it a no-brainer investment that pays for itself before your next menu refresh.
Can this integrate with my existing POS and social media without hassle?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine— no disruptive overhauls. We map your current setup, say Square for payments and Instagram for buzz, then create secure, two-way links so leads from a story mention or card swipe flow straight into the system. For food trucks, this means capturing a customer's email during checkout and instantly scoring it against your repeat-buyer patterns. It's all custom-coded to avoid the brittle connections you get from no-code tools. Setup takes about a week, with minimal downtime, and we test it against your peak scenarios, like a lunch line spike. Clients report 30% faster lead processing right away, keeping your operations smooth and customer-focused.
How customizable is the follow-up messaging for my truck's vibe?
We make it 100% yours— none of that generic template stuff. During discovery, we dive into your brand, like if you're all about spicy fusion or vegan twists, and build AI that crafts messages in your voice. For example, a lead from a festival might get: 'Loved seeing you at the fair— craving more of that kimchi taco? Here's 15% off your next truck stop.' It pulls from your menu data and past interactions for relevance. This personalization boosts open rates by 40% in our food service projects, turning casual chats into loyal fans. And since it's your owned system, you can tweak tones or add specials anytime, ensuring it evolves with your truck's seasonal shifts.
What if my team is just me— is this overkill for a solo operation?
Not at all; it's designed for operators like you who wear every hat. Solo food truck owners often waste hours post-shift on admin, but our system automates 90% of that, leaving you free for what matters— crafting killer dishes. Take a real example: a one-person truck we worked with automated lead texts and saw 25% more bookings without adding staff time. It's lightweight, running on your existing phone or tablet, with simple voice commands for the rush. We keep it straightforward, focusing on high-impact features like auto-nurturing event inquiries, so you get big efficiency without complexity. If it feels too much, we scale it down during build— your consultation ensures it's just right for your hustle.
How secure is customer data in this setup, especially for food allergies or preferences?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, where trust builds your rep. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, storing data in fortified AWS clouds with role-based access— only you see the details. For sensitive info like allergy notes from leads, it's anonymized and segmented, preventing breaches. We've audited systems for trucks handling hundreds of daily interactions, ensuring no leaks even during high-traffic events. Regular updates and your full ownership mean you control access, not some third-party. Clients love the peace of mind; one reported zero issues over a year, allowing them to confidently store preferences that personalize repeat orders and cut waste on custom requests.
