Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf lead tools treat your food truck like just another business—they ignore the chaos of chasing pop-up events or predicting rush-hour crowds.

We analyze lead data like inquiry timing, location pings, and past booking patterns to score prospects instantly. You're probably thinking, 'How does this work for my truck?'

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was buried under inquiries from every food fest under the sun, but half never panned out—think endless back-and-forth on pop-up permits that went nowhere. Their lead scoring system now flags the real deals—like that string of corporate lunches that added $8K to my July bookings from just three scored leads. It's a game-changer for staying ahead of the curb."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Taco Trekker Food Truck Collective
"We run two trucks and were losing track of repeat clients amid the noise of random street fair pitches. After implementing their custom scorer, we're hitting 35% more conversions on event leads—like securing four wedding gigs in Q2—and it's integrated right with our scheduling app, no more missed shifts during rush hour."
Jamal Reed
Operations Manager, Grill on Wheels Mobile BBQ
"Honest talk: lead management was a nightmare during our expansion, with emails piling up from lowball park events. AIQ built something that understands food truck life, scoring leads based on location data and past order volumes. Last quarter, we turned 12 low-priority queries into zero, focusing on weddings that netted us $15K extra in plated meals."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does lead scoring specifically help a food truck during busy seasons?
Here's the thing: busy seasons like summer festivals mean a flood of inquiries, but not all are worth your time. Our custom AI analyzes factors unique to food trucks, such as lead location relative to your route, event size, and historical no-show rates from similar gigs. For instance, it might score a nearby corporate picnic at 90% conversion likelihood while downranking a distant fair with vague details. This lets you prioritize, potentially increasing bookings by 25-30% without extending hours. We build it to integrate with your mobile setup, so you're not glued to a laptop. Over time, the system learns from your successes, refining scores to match your style—like favoring quick-setup lunches over multi-day events. It's flexible, ensuring it fits your workflow without disrupting the daily hustle.
What data does the system use to score leads for my food truck?
We tailor it to your operations, pulling from sources like email inquiries, social DMs, event platforms, and even GPS data for proximity. The AI considers food truck specifics: timing (e.g., lunch rush viability), group size, past interactions, and conversion patterns from your history. You're probably thinking about privacy—rest assured, we use only your approved data, anonymizing where needed. For example, a lead mentioning '50-person team building' near your usual spot gets a high score if it matches your quick-serve strengths. No generic metrics; it's all custom-built to predict what fills your truck, not just any business lead. This approach has helped trucks like yours cut through noise, focusing on 80% more relevant opportunities.
How long does it take to set up lead scoring for a small food truck operation?
Let's be honest, we know you can't afford downtime. Setup typically takes 4-6 weeks, starting with a quick discovery call to map your lead flow. We then build and train the AI on your existing data—say, 3-6 months of past inquiries—without needing massive datasets. Integration with tools like your POS or scheduling app happens in parallel, tested rigorously for mobile reliability. By launch, you'll have a working system scoring leads in real-time. Post-launch, we monitor for two weeks to tweak, ensuring it handles your on-the-go life. One truck owner went from setup to seeing 20% better lead quality in under a month. It's designed for speed, minimizing disruption so you keep slinging those meals.
Can this integrate with my existing food truck apps and tools?
Absolutely, that's our specialty. We create deep, two-way integrations with common food service tools like Square for POS, Google Calendar for scheduling, or even event apps like StreetFoodFinder. No superficial links that break—our custom code ensures data flows seamlessly, like auto-updating lead scores in your CRM when a new inquiry hits. For a food truck, this means scoring a lead and instantly checking route conflicts. We've handled everything from single-app setups to multi-tool stacks, avoiding the 'integration nightmares' many face. If you're using something niche, we build adapters on the spot. The result? A unified system that feels like one tool, saving you 10-15 hours weekly on manual checks.
What if my lead volume is low or inconsistent as a food truck?
Low or inconsistent leads are common in food service—think off-season slumps. Our system is flexible, starting with whatever data you have, even if it's just a few months of emails or social interactions. The AI builds baseline scores from patterns like seasonal trends or customer types (e.g., boosting scores for repeat park visitors). As leads trickle in, it learns and improves accuracy. For example, it might identify that weekend pop-up requests convert 40% better for your truck, prioritizing them. We include scalability, so when volumes spike, it handles without hiccups. Trucks with 5-10 daily leads see quick wins, like 15% more targeted outreach. It's built for your reality, not assuming constant high traffic.
How much does a custom lead scoring system cost for a food truck?
Costs vary based on your setup, but for a typical food truck, we're looking at $15,000-$25,000 for full custom build, including discovery, AI development, integrations, and initial training. This is a one-time investment for ownership—no recurring fees like subscriptions that add up to thousands yearly. Factors like data volume or extra features (e.g., voice alerts) influence the price, but we always tailor to your budget. Compare that to off-the-shelf tools costing $500/month with limited customization; ours pays off in 6-9 months through higher conversions. We offer phased payments and a free consultation to scope exact needs. Ultimately, it's about ROI—trucks often recoup via just a few extra bookings.
