It's like having an extra line cook in the kitchen, minus the payroll hit.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I'd spend two hours every night entering sales from my POS for carne asada tacos and horchata into spreadsheets—it was killing my vibe after long days firing up the grill. Now, it all syncs automatically from my tablet, and I've cut that to 15 minutes. Last month, we avoided a $200 shortage on fresh cilantro thanks to the real-time inventory alerts. Total game-changer for our truck during festival season."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Taco Haven Mobile Kitchen
"As a solo operator, manual entry of rib orders and sauce batches meant skipping family dinners. AIQ tailored this for my BBQ truck, pulling data from my Square POS and even my voice notes from the serving window about brisket sides. Saved me 10 hours a week during summer weekends, and my order error rate dropped from 15% to zero. Worth every penny—full ROI in under two months with happier customers raving about accuracy."
Jamal Reed
Founder and Pitmaster, Smoky Wheels BBQ Truck
"We were constantly losing track of gluten-free bun orders for our vegan burgers amid the lunch rush chaos. Their system automates it all, integrating seamlessly with our DoorDash app and POS for custom notes on avocado toppings. No more mix-ups on allergies, and we've boosted repeat customers by 25% since implementation three months ago. Feels like they truly understood our plant-based operation from day one."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle my food truck's variable locations and offline times?
Great question—food trucks aren't stuck in one spot, and neither is our system. We build in offline capabilities, so your POS data syncs automatically once you're back online, whether at a festival or parking lot. For example, during a rainout, entries queue up securely on your device. We've tailored this for trucks like yours, ensuring no data loss from spotty Wi-Fi. Post-setup, you'll get a custom app that works with your workflow, saving those precious hours without connectivity worries. It's all about reliability in the unpredictable world of street vending.
What kind of time savings can I realistically expect for my small operation?
You're probably thinking about the numbers—fair enough. For a typical food truck, we see 10-15 hours saved weekly on manual entry alone. Think logging 200 daily orders or updating inventory after shifts; our AI handles that in the background. One client went from 20 hours of admin to just 5, redirecting time to marketing their falafel specials. ROI kicks in fast: if your labor costs $20/hour, that's $10,000 saved yearly. We customize to your scale, so even solo operators feel the boost without overwhelming complexity.
Will this integrate with my existing POS and inventory apps?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. Whether you're on Toast, Square, or even a basic app for tracking sauces, we create deep, two-way connections that pull and push data effortlessly. No more double-entry nightmares after a burger rush. For instance, sales from your POS flow straight to inventory, auto-deducting buns used. We've done this for trucks with mixed setups, ensuring everything talks seamlessly. It's custom-built, so we map your exact tools first, avoiding the integration headaches that plague generic solutions.
How secure is the data for my sensitive sales and recipe info?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, where customer payments and proprietary recipes are gold. We use enterprise-grade encryption and compliance standards like PCI for transactions, plus role-based access so only you see the full picture. Data stays in your owned system, not scattered across cloud subs. Picture this: your pulled pork recipe ratios auto-adjust inventory without exposure risks. We've audited our builds for trucks facing theft or hacks at events, giving you peace of mind while focusing on the grill.
Can I scale this if I add another truck or expand my menu?
Yes, scalability is baked in from the start. We design the automation to handle growth, like adding a second truck's data without rebuilding. If you introduce vegan options or hit festivals harder, the AI adapts by learning your patterns—forecasting more accurately for busy seasons. A client expanded from one to three trucks and just updated configs, saving weeks of manual tweaks. It's not rigid; we iterate based on your needs, ensuring efficiency keeps pace as your business sizzles.
What's the timeline for getting this up and running on my truck?
We keep it quick but thorough—most setups take 4-6 weeks from discovery to launch. Week one: we audit your current pains, like shift-end logging. Then, building and testing the custom AI, integrating your POS. By week four, you're training with a live demo tailored to your gyro sales flow. It's faster than off-the-shelf because we skip the bloat. Post-launch, we stick around for tweaks, so you're not left hanging during your first automated rush.
