The "Manual Data Entry" Problem

Endless typing of customer orders from phone calls and apps into your POS system, like re-entering 'extra spicy burrito with no onions' from Uber Eats into Toast POS

Chasing driver updates via texts and calls for delivery ETAs and traffic delays, only to manually log them in spreadsheets for shift handoffs

Re-entering delivery addresses and special instructions like 'leave at back door for apartment 3B' across Uber Eats, DoorDash, and your in-house ordering app, risking mix-ups on perishables

Manual reconciliation of payment details from apps like Uber Eats or DoorDash with your internal records

Tracking inventory dips from rushed orders like sudden surges in burger patties without automated updates, leading to stock surprises during dinner rushes

Compiling daily reports on delivery metrics by hand, such as average pizza delivery times or order volumes per hour, delaying insights into peak hour bottlenecks like 7 PM surges

Unlock Massive Time and Cost Savings Tailored to Your Delivery Game

Save 15-20 Hours Per Week on Entry Tasks

Save 15-20 Hours Per Week on Entry Tasks: Picture this: instead of your coordinators spending evenings keying in orders from multiple apps into your Square or Toast POS, our AI handles it automatically, pulling in details like sauce preferences or allergy notes. That's time back for prepping more batches of fresh salads or training new drivers on safe hot food handling. In one case, a busy taco joint saw their weekly admin load drop from 25 hours to just 5, letting them handle 20% more deliveries without extra hires, all while keeping guacamole batches fresh.

Achieve 3x ROI Through Efficiency Gains

Achieve 3x ROI Through Efficiency Gains: You're probably thinking about the bottom line—fair enough. By cutting manual errors that cause wrong deliveries (like sending mild wings instead of hot), you reduce waste on ingredients like premium proteins and fuel for couriers. Clients typically see payback in 4-6 months, with ongoing savings from faster order fulfillment—think turning around a 50-order lunch rush in under 30 minutes—boosting customer ratings and repeat business for your signature dishes.

Boost Productivity and Customer Satisfaction

Boost Productivity and Customer Satisfaction: No more delays from data lags on time-sensitive items like melting cheesesteaks. Drivers get instant updates on addresses, ETAs, and notes like 'park in loading zone,' like a well-oiled kitchen line where everything flows. This means happier customers who tip more for prompt arrivals and order again, turning your service into the go-to for quick, accurate meals—our partners report a 25% uptick in 5-star reviews.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, my team was buried in entering DoorDash orders into our Toast POS—easily 10 hours a day during lunch rushes, especially retyping customizations like 'no dairy on the quesadilla.' Now, it's all automated, and we've cut errors by half. Last month, we handled a 30% order spike without overtime, and our drivers are on time more often, keeping pizzas hot and customers happy."

Maria Gonzalez

Operations Manager, QuickBite Tacos & More

"I was skeptical about custom automation fitting our quirky workflow with multiple couriers juggling Indian curry deliveries, but they nailed it. Integrated with our Square POS in two weeks, saving us 18 hours weekly on manual logs for spice level notes and addresses. Delivery complaints dropped 40%—no more cold naan arrivals—and we're finally seeing the ROI we needed to expand routes to new neighborhoods."

Raj Patel

Owner, SpiceRoute Indian Kitchen

"Manual entry was killing our evening shifts—retyping special requests from Uber Eats apps, like 'extra crispy fries on the side' for vegan burgers. AIQ's system pulls it all in seamlessly, and our inventory updates automatically now for things like avocado stock. We've saved about $2,500 a month in labor, plus fewer mix-ups mean better tips for the crew on those busy Friday nights."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Mapping Your Workflow

We dive into your daily ops—chat with your team about order flows, driver handoffs, and pain points like peak-hour data jams. Then we map a custom plan, ensuring it fits your kitchen's rhythm without disrupting service.

Step 2

Building and Integrating the AI System

Our engineers code your automation from scratch, linking your POS, delivery apps, and tracking tools. We test rigorously with your real orders to guarantee smooth data flow, like prepping ingredients just right before the rush.

Step 3

Launch, Train, and Optimize

We roll it out with hands-on training for your staff, then monitor for tweaks. Over the first month, we refine based on your feedback, ensuring it boosts efficiency without a hitch—think of it as seasoning to perfection.

Why We're Different

We build everything custom from the ground up, not just glue together off-the-shelf tools, so your automation evolves with your delivery routes and menu changes without breaking.
True ownership means you control the system—no endless subscriptions or vendor lock-in, unlike agencies that leave you dependent on rented platforms.
Our deep engineering roots let us handle complex integrations like real-time driver GPS with POS updates, avoiding the fragile links that plague no-code setups.
We focus on food service specifics, like handling variable order times and allergen flags, because we've optimized for kitchens and couriers, not generic businesses.
Scalability is baked in; as your orders grow from 100 to 1,000 a day, our production-ready code handles it seamlessly, without the crashes common in assembled workflows.
Unified dashboards replace juggling apps—get one view of orders, drivers, and metrics, eliminating the 'where's that data?' frustration that slows down ops.
We prioritize error-proofing with AI validation tailored to delivery pitfalls, like address mismatches, far beyond superficial checks in template solutions.
Our team's built their own SaaS platforms, so we know how to create robust systems that last, not quick fixes that need constant babysitting.
Client-centric iterations mean we adapt to your unique challenges, like multi-courier coordination, ensuring the tool feels like an extension of your team.
Proven ROI focus: we quantify savings upfront, like hours per shift, and back it with guarantees, setting us apart from vague promises.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle high-volume order surges during dinner rush?

In food delivery, rushes can overwhelm manual entry—think 50 orders in an hour from apps and phones. Our custom AI scales effortlessly, pulling data in parallel from all sources and prioritizing urgent ones. We use advanced queuing to process without delays, tested on real scenarios like a pizzeria handling 200+ nights. Setup includes buffer capacity for your peak patterns, so nothing bottlenecks. Clients report 25% faster processing during peaks, meaning drivers get dispatched quicker and customers aren't left waiting. It's all built to your volume, not a one-size-fits-all limit.

Will this integrate with our existing POS and delivery apps without downtime?

Absolutely, we specialize in seamless integrations for tools like Toast, Square, or Lightspeed, plus apps like Postmates. No big-bang switches— we phase it in over a week, starting with a parallel run to verify data matches your manual process. For a sandwich shop we worked with, we synced everything without a single missed order. Our two-way APIs ensure real-time updates, like instant payment pulls, and we provide rollback plans if needed. Downtime? Minimal, usually under an hour for final go-live, keeping your deliveries humming.

What kind of time savings can a small delivery service like mine expect?

For a team handling 100-300 orders daily, you're likely losing 10-15 hours a week to entry alone—retyping details, chasing confirmations. Our automation captures it all automatically, saving those hours for core tasks like quality checks. One client, a family-run burger delivery, went from 12 hours weekly to 2, redirecting time to customer outreach. ROI kicks in fast: at $20/hour labor, that's $10,000+ yearly savings, plus fewer errors cutting refund costs. We tailor to your scale, so even smaller ops see 60-80% reductions right away.

How do you ensure data accuracy for things like dietary restrictions?

Accuracy is critical in food service— a missed allergy note can be disastrous. Our AI uses natural language processing trained on your menu and past orders to parse instructions like 'gluten-free' or 'hold the onions' accurately 98% of the time. It flags ambiguities for quick human review, integrating with your POS tags. For a vegan delivery service, this caught 15% more specifics than manual entry, reducing complaints. We customize the model to your lingo, with ongoing learning from your data to get even better, ensuring safe, satisfied customers every time.

What's the cost, and how long until we see ROI?

Costs start around $15,000 for a full custom build, depending on your integrations—think of it as investing in a new prep station that pays off daily. Implementation takes 4-6 weeks, with ROI typically in 3-6 months via labor savings and error reductions. A falafel truck chain we automated saved $3,000 monthly on admin, hitting breakeven by month four. No subscriptions; you own it. We provide a detailed projection based on your current hours and order volume during consultation, so you know exactly when it'll boost your margins.

Can this scale if we add more locations or drivers?

Yes, our systems are designed for growth—like expanding from one kitchen to a fleet across neighborhoods. The architecture handles multi-site data without silos, auto-scaling cloud resources for bigger loads. A client growing from 5 to 15 drivers saw no performance dips; orders routed smarter with centralized tracking. We build in modularity, so adding locations means simple config updates, not rebuilds. It's future-proofed for your ambitions, whether that's more couriers or new apps, keeping efficiency high as you expand.
