Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf lead scoring feels like using a blunt knife in a precision kitchen—it just doesn't cut it for your unique meal prep world. At AIQ Labs, we build a custom AI system from the ground up, trained on your customer data like past orders, website interactions, and even dietary quiz responses. You're probably thinking, 'How does this fit my workflow?' Here's the thing: we integrate it directly with your scheduling software and CRM, scoring leads in real-time based on their likelihood to commit to that weekly veggie-packed plan. No more sifting through noise. It's flexible, scalable, and owned by you—not some rigid template.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Tastes Like Success
Skyrocket Conversion Rates
Skyrocket Conversion Rates: Focus on leads showing real intent, like those browsing your gluten-free options multiple times or inquiring about bulk catering. We've seen meal prep services double their subscription sign-ups in just three months by prioritizing these high-scorers, turning casual browsers into loyal weekly customers who reorder family-sized portions consistently.
Slash Operational Waste
Slash Operational Waste: No more hours lost chasing flaky inquiries about one-off catering tastings. Our system flags true subscribers early based on order history, reducing follow-up time by 40% so your team can concentrate on prepping fresh ingredients and managing peak-hour rushes instead of cold calls.
Personalize Like a Pro Chef
Personalize Like a Pro Chef: Tailor outreach based on scored preferences—think suggesting vegan bundles to plant-based enthusiasts or low-sodium options for health-focused leads. This boosts customer experience, with clients reporting 25% higher retention as leads feel seen and served just right, leading to more repeat catering events.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's lead scoring, we were drowning in emails from folks just window-shopping our gluten-free meal plans and one-time catering quotes. Now, it auto-scores based on their dietary quiz answers, site time on allergen pages, and we've cut our sales chase time in half. Last quarter, we landed 15 new weekly subscribers for family bundles we would've missed—it's like having an extra sous chef for leads during dinner rush."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, FreshBite Meals
"Meal prep is all about timing, and generic tools were killing ours with junk leads during holiday catering spikes. AIQ built this custom scorer that looks at order history, portion preferences, and repeat visits for bulk orders, helping us prioritize real families wanting consistent weekly deliveries. Revenue from subscriptions jumped 28% in six months, and our team's actually getting home earlier now, even after inventory close."
Tom Reilly
Founder, NutriPrep Kitchen
"I was skeptical at first—thought it'd be another app to manage amid our busy tasting events. But they integrated it right into our CRM, scoring leads on things like repeat site visits for paleo options and inquiries about low-carb bundles. We've reduced no-shows for tastings by 35%, and it's made our customer outreach feel personal, not pushy, especially for vegan corporate catering."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does lead scoring specifically help meal prep services like mine?
In the fast-paced world of meal prep, leads come from everywhere—social ads, website quizzes, even pop-up events. Our custom system scores them based on intent signals unique to your business, like how long they linger on your vegan macro breakdowns or if they've abandoned a cart with family-sized portions. This isn't generic; we tailor it to flag those ready for weekly deliveries, cutting through the noise of casual dieters. For example, a lead searching 'easy keto meals for work' gets a higher score than a vague 'healthy food' query. Result? Your team spends time on conversions, not cold pursuits, often seeing a 25-40% lift in subscription starts within weeks. We build it to fit your tools, ensuring smooth ops from lead to loaded fridge.
What makes your lead scoring different from off-the-shelf software?
You're probably thinking, 'I've tried those platforms, and they feel clunky for our industry.' Here's the thing: standard tools use broad rules that ignore meal prep realities, like fluctuating demand around New Year's resolutions or the need to match leads to specific allergens. We custom-build yours, training AI on your actual data—past orders, email opens for recipe newsletters, even delivery zone preferences. It's flexible, integrating directly with your scheduling app so scores update as leads engage. No more one-size-fits-all limitations; this is built for your workflow, scalable for growth, and owned by you. Clients tell us it feels like an extension of their kitchen team, prioritizing leads that align with fresh, timely prep.
How long does it take to implement this for my meal service?
Let's be honest, nobody wants a long downtime in food service where every hour counts for freshness. We kick off with a quick discovery call to understand your lead sources, then build and integrate in 4-6 weeks, depending on complexity. During that time, we use your sample data to prototype scoring for things like high-intent gluten-free seekers. Testing happens in parallel with your live ops, so no disruption. Post-launch, we provide hands-on training and a month of tweaks to refine for your peak delivery days. It's not rushed; it's precise, ensuring the system boosts your efficiency right away without overwhelming your team.
Can this system handle seasonal variations in our leads?
Absolutely—seasonal swings are the heartbeat of meal prep, from summer salad booms to winter comfort food rushes. Our custom AI incorporates adaptive models that learn from your historical patterns, like spiking interest in low-carb plans post-holidays. We set dynamic thresholds, so during a fitness challenge promo, it prioritizes engaged leads over steady-state ones. For instance, if January brings a flood of 'resolution' inquiries, the system scores based on engagement depth, not volume alone. This keeps your sales focused, preventing overload and ensuring you capitalize on peaks. We've helped services like yours maintain steady conversions year-round, even as lead quality fluctuates.
Is the lead scoring secure for handling customer dietary info?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive details like allergies or calorie goals in meal prep. We build with end-to-end encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and HIPAA where relevant, ensuring data stays yours and protected. The system anonymizes personal info during scoring, only surfacing insights like 'high vegan intent' without exposing details. We conduct regular audits and provide full transparency on data flows. For one client, this meant securely integrating with their health-focused CRM, giving peace of mind while scoring leads on preference matches. Your customers trust you with their meals; we make sure they can trust the tech behind it.
How do I measure the ROI of this custom lead scoring?
Tracking ROI should be straightforward, not a headache. From day one, our dashboard shows key metrics tailored to meal prep: conversion rates from scored leads, time saved on qualification (aim for 30-50% reduction), and revenue lift from prioritized subscribers. For example, if you close 20% more weekly plans at $150 each, that's tangible. We set baselines during setup using your current data, then track against them monthly. Clients often see payback in 2-4 months through fewer wasted follow-ups and higher order values. It's all integrated, so you see it alongside your inventory and sales KPIs—no extra tools needed.
