Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf CRM tools feel like trying to fit a square peg in a round bun—they're clunky for your on-the-go world. At AIQ Labs, we build a custom AI lead manager molded to your exact workflow. Picture this: as you sling tacos at a festival, the system auto-captures customer emails from your tablet, scores them by interest in your spicy specials, and queues personalized texts for next week's pop-up. No more subscription pile-up. We craft it from scratch, integrating with your POS and route planner, so it's flexible for those unpredictable street-side shifts. You're probably thinking, 'How does this fit my crazy hours?' It does—fully owned by you, scalable as your truck fleet grows.
What Makes Us Different:
Why This Perfect Fit Transforms Your Truck
Turn Casual Chats into Steady Revenue
Turn Casual Chats into Steady Revenue: No more watching potential regulars drive away after sampling your street tacos. Our system flags high-intent leads—like that group eyeing your vegan options—and automates invites to your next pop-up spot via text. Owners report a <span class="gradient">25% uplift in repeat visits</span> within the first four weeks, freeing you to focus on perfecting your sauce instead of chasing scribbled notes on order tickets.
Streamline Ops Without Slowing Your Roll
Streamline Ops Without Slowing Your Roll: Here's the thing: food trucks thrive on speed, but lead tracking shouldn't bog you down during grill flips. We build in voice-activated entry for hands-free logging mid-service, like noting a catering interest while plating orders, cutting admin time by <span class="gradient">40%</span> per shift. Imagine wrapping your shift with a clean lead list synced to your route planner, ready for tomorrow's farmers market—no frantic spreadsheet hunts amid inventory counts.
Boost Customer Experience with Smart Personalization
Boost Customer Experience with Smart Personalization: Customers love when you remember their go-to order, like extra spicy on that falafel wrap. Our AI enriches leads with past interactions from your POS system, sending tailored offers like 'Back for more birria this weekend?' This builds loyalty fast—think <span class="gradient">15% higher tips</span> from feeling seen at your next event. It's like having a sous-chef for your customer relationships, custom-built for your mobile vibe and seasonal menu rotations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I'd jot leads on napkins during busy festivals and lose half by the next morning's prep rush. Now, their system pings me with scored contacts right after I pack up—landed three corporate taco catering gigs last month alone, up from zero, boosting my monthly revenue by 30%."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Taco Roamer Food Truck, Austin TX
"Juggling Instagram DMs about my seasonal gelato flavors and window chats was total chaos for my dessert truck. This custom setup auto-sorts sweet tooth fans by preference and books private birthday events seamlessly. Doubled my weekend bookings in just two months without hiring extra staff, turning slow nights into packed pop-ups."
Jamal Reed
Founder & Head Pastry Chef, Sweet Street Mobile Desserts, Brooklyn NY

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this work for a single food truck with limited tech?
We get it—your truck might just have a tablet and phone setup. Our custom build starts simple: we create a lightweight app that runs on what you have, capturing leads via quick scans or voice notes. For instance, at a busy street fair, you mention your falafel special, and it auto-logs the customer's info with interest tags. No steep learning curve; we train you in under an hour. Over time, as you add a second truck, it scales effortlessly. Food truck owners tell us it feels like an extension of their daily routine, boosting efficiency without overwhelming small ops. We've done this for solo operators pulling $200K yearly, turning sporadic chats into 20% more steady gigs.
What if my leads come mostly from social media, not in-person?
Social's huge for food trucks—think Instagram stories driving walk-ups. Our system pulls those DMs and comments directly, scoring them against your menu trends. Say someone hearts your burger post; it flags them as a hot lead and suggests a targeted reply like 'Swing by our Friday spot for a fresh one?' We integrate with platforms like Instagram and TikTok, automating the handoff to your CRM. This cuts manual scrolling time, which one owner said freed up two hours daily for prepping sides. It's all custom to your vibe, ensuring no lead slips through the digital cracks while you're parked at events.
Can it handle seasonal spikes like summer festivals?
Absolutely—seasonal rushes are food truck life. We design the AI to ramp up during peaks, auto-prioritizing festival leads with time-sensitive follow-ups. For example, after a county fair, it sorts contacts by event feedback, queuing invites for your next appearance. One client, a ice cream truck, saw leads double in July; our system handled the influx without a hitch, even predicting slowdowns for off-season nurturing. It's flexible, learning from your past routes to forecast busy periods. No more post-event burnout sifting through hundreds of notes—just clean, actionable lists to keep the momentum rolling year-round.
How secure is customer data on a mobile setup?
Security's non-negotiable, especially with customer allergies or preferences. We build with end-to-end encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR, and host on secure clouds that work offline too. Your leads stay locked down, accessible only via your biometrics on the device. For food trucks, where data might include payment snippets from POS, we ensure seamless, protected syncs. A pizza truck partner mentioned peace of mind after a data scare with a generic app—our custom setup prevented any leaks during a busy night market. We audit regularly, tailoring protections to your low-tech, high-movement reality.
What's the timeline to get this up and running?
We move fast for your fast-paced world. Discovery takes a day, blueprint a week, and build two to four weeks depending on integrations like your POS. Testing mimics a real shift—say, a mock lunch rush—to iron out kinks. Total: under six weeks to launch, with us on hand for tweaks. A falafel truck went live in 25 days and immediately captured 50 leads from their first event post-setup. It's iterative; we adjust as you use it, ensuring it fits like a well-worn apron from day one.
Do I need to ditch my current tools entirely?
Not at all—we're about unity, not replacement. If you're using something like Google Sheets for leads or Square for payments, we integrate deeply, pulling data without duplication. No more toggling apps mid-order. For a coffee truck client, we bridged their scheduling app with lead tracking, creating one flow that notified baristas of VIP arrivals. This eliminates the 'subscription chaos' you might feel now, building on what works while adding AI smarts. It's custom, so we only swap out what's truly bottlenecking your truck's flow.
