What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's system, I was fielding 50 emails a week from event planners, but half were no-gos for my BBQ spreads. Now, it scores them based on my past data from rib cook-offs and tailgates, and I've booked three corporate picnic gigs in the last month alone—up from one last year. It's a game-changer for keeping my smoker fired up without the dead ends."

Maria Gonzalez

Owner, Rolling Smoke BBQ Food Truck

"We used to chase every Instagram lead, wasting gas on trials that flopped for our fusion wraps. Their custom scorer flags the real deals—like those office park lunch requests—and we've cut no-shows by 40% over six months, plus landed two wedding side gigs. Finally, tech that gets the food truck hustle on busy festival circuits."

Jamal Reed

Founder, Fusion Bites Mobile Kitchen

"Integrated it with our Square POS, and now leads from foodie apps get scored on order history for al pastor tacos. Landed a prime slot at the annual county fair last week that paid for the whole setup, including extra propane. Honest to goodness, it's like they built it watching my daily grind of street vending and event preps."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Mapping

We dive into your current lead flow—social DMs, event emails, app inquiries—and map out what makes a lead 'hot' for your truck, like proximity to high-traffic spots or repeat customer signals.

Step 2

Custom Model Build

Our team crafts a predictive AI model tailored to your data, training it on past bookings to score new leads accurately. We tweak it for your unique needs, ensuring flexibility for on-the-fly adjustments.

Step 3

Integration and Launch

We wire it into your tools—POS, calendars, social platforms—for seamless, real-time scoring. Then, we train your team and monitor the first leads to refine, getting you up and scoring in under a month.

Why We're Different

We build from code up, not just plug in generic tools, so your scorer evolves with your truck's menu changes and routes—unlike assemblers stuck on rigid platforms.

True ownership means no subscription traps; you own the system, scaling it as your fleet grows, without the integration headaches of pieced-together apps.

Deep food service know-how lets us factor in real-world quirks like weather impacts on events, creating a tool that's intuitively yours, not a forced fit.

Production-ready from day one, with robust APIs that handle your mobile data spikes during festivals—fragile no-code setups crumble under that pressure.

We prioritize your workflow's efficiency, embedding customer experience metrics like response speed to keep your brand's rep spotless amid lead pursuits.

No black-box AI; we make it transparent and customizable, so you understand why a lead scores high, empowering smarter decisions on the go.

Focused on operational wins, like reducing prep waste from bad leads, because we get that every missed booking hits your bottom line hard.

Unified system replaces your app chaos—social, CRM, scheduling all in one dashboard, freeing you from juggling phones while driving.

Scalable for SMB growth; start with basic scoring, add predictive booking forecasts later, all without starting over like template-based services.

Hands-on partnership: We're consultants who stick around post-launch, tweaking based on your feedback, not vanishing after the invoice.

Common Questions

How does lead scoring work specifically for a food truck's event inquiries?

Think of it like sorting your spice rack— we prioritize the essentials. Our custom AI looks at your leads' details: Is the event within 20 miles? Do they mention group sizes over 50? Past interactions via social? It assigns a score from 1-100 based on your data. High scorers (say, 75+) get flagged for immediate follow-up, while lows go to a nurture queue. We build this around your truck's realities, like avoiding rainy-day events, so you're not prepping for ghosts. Setup takes your input on what 'hot' means, then runs quietly in the background, integrating with tools you already use. Food truck owners report focusing 70% of their time on winners now.

Will this integrate with my existing social media and POS systems?

Absolutely, and that's where our builder approach shines. We don't just slap on a band-aid; we create deep, two-way connections. For instance, pull Instagram DMs directly into the scorer, cross-reference with Square or Toast POS data for customer history, and push scored leads to Google Calendar for bookings. No more manual copying during rush hour. We've done this for trucks using everything from Facebook leads to Yelp inquiries. It's flexible— if you're on a basic setup, we start simple and scale. The result? A unified flow that feels like an extension of your operations, cutting errors and saving you from app-switching fatigue.

How long does it take to see results from a custom lead scoring system?

You're probably thinking it'll take forever, but here's the thing: we launch a MVP in 4-6 weeks, with scoring active right away. Early wins hit in the first month—better lead prioritization means quicker responses, often boosting bookings by 15-20% initially. Full refinement, where the AI learns from your decisions, ramps up over 3 months. Take one client: a taco truck saw 12 new event leads scored and converted in week one, versus their usual scattershot approach. We monitor and tweak weekly, so it's not set-it-and-forget-it. For food trucks, this means more predictable revenue during off-seasons, without the upfront hassle.

What makes your lead scoring different from off-the-shelf tools like HubSpot?

Off-the-shelf? They're like pre-made dough—decent, but not shaped for your recipe. We custom-build for your food truck life: scoring on niche signals like 'catering for 100' or 'vegan options requested,' tied to your location data and past no-shows. No generic templates forcing you into boxes. Plus, you own it—no monthly fees piling up like forgotten catering quotes. Our systems scale with you, handling spikes from viral posts without crashing, and integrate natively without brittle APIs. Clients tell us it's warmer, more intuitive, like chatting with a savvy line cook who knows your menu inside out.

Is this secure for handling customer data from social leads?

Security is non-negotiable, especially with food service regs like payment info from POS ties. We build with encryption end-to-end, compliant with GDPR and CCPA, storing only what's needed for scoring—like anonymized behavior patterns, not full profiles. Data lives on your secure cloud, accessible only via your logins. For social integrations, we use OAuth for safe pulls without exposing passwords. We've audited this for sensitive industries; one truck owner appreciated how it flagged leads without risking their customer trust. Regular updates keep it tight, so you focus on flavors, not fears.

Can I adjust the scoring as my truck's menu or routes change?

Yes, and that's the beauty of custom—it's alive, not static. We design it flexible: log in to tweak weights, like bumping scores for farm-to-truck events if you pivot seasonal. No coding needed; it's point-and-click for basics, with us handling deeper changes. If you add a new route or go gluten-free, we retrain the model in days using your updated data. This adaptability kept one client's scores spot-on through a menu overhaul, maintaining 85% accuracy. It's built for your evolving hustle, ensuring the system grows as you do.
