Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, food trucks don't run on cookie-cutter software—they thrive on systems that match your unique flow, like syncing a street taco pop-up with pop-up demands. At AIQ Labs, we craft custom AI solutions from scratch, integrating your POS, inventory apps, and even weather APIs to auto-capture data without you lifting a finger. You're probably thinking, 'But my setup's too chaotic for that.' Here's the thing: we start with your exact workflow, building flexible automations that handle everything from order spikes at lunch to quiet night restocks. No subscriptions, just a unified system you own, designed to boost your operational efficiency while keeping customer experience front and center.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Feels Like Adding an Extra Crew Member
Slash Admin Time Without Skipping a Beat
Picture this: instead of jotting down 200+ burger and fry orders by hand during a weekend lunch rush, our AI logs them instantly into your POS system. Owners report saving up to 12 hours a week on admin, turning potential burnout into time for perfecting sauce recipes or family dinners. It's like having a silent partner who never complains about the sizzle of the grill.
Zero Out Inventory Surprises, Maximize Profits
Hand-entry errors often lead to over-ordering limes for margaritas or running out of fresh tortillas mid-shift—costing you 15-20% in waste from spoilage. Our custom AI cross-checks sales against stock in real-time, alerting you via mobile before issues hit the line. One truck owner avoided $500 in seafood spoilage last month alone, keeping cash flow steady even on slow weeks after a big event.
Elevate Customer Experience with Spot-On Data
Forgotten notes on gluten-free bun requests or dairy-free sauce options can turn loyal fans away and invite health complaints. We build AI that captures and flags these details automatically from voice orders or apps, ensuring every handoff from grill to counter is safe and personalized. Result? Happier repeat customers raving about your accommodating service, leading to glowing Yelp reviews that draw bigger crowds to your food truck or cart.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was spending my evenings reconciling paper sales slips from the truck for things like taco fillings and salsas—it was exhausting and I kept messing up inventory counts on avocados. Now, everything syncs automatically to my QuickBooks, and I've cut my close-out time from two hours to 15 minutes. Last quarter, that saved me enough to hire a part-timer for weekend rushes, boosting our output by 30%."
Maria Gonzalez
Owner, Tacos on Wheels Food Truck, Austin, TX
"Our BBQ truck hits festivals hard, but manual entry meant constant stockouts on ribs and brisket during peak hours. AIQ built this custom flow that pulls POS data and forecasts based on weather and crowd size—nailed it during a rainy June event in Atlanta, avoiding a $300 loss on unsold sides. It's not flashy, but it just works for our crazy schedule with back-to-back pop-ups."
Jamal Reed
Co-Owner, Smoky Trails BBQ Mobile Unit, Atlanta, GA
"I thought AI was for big chains, not my little falafel cart at the farmers market. But their system now tracks orders, tips from cash sales, and even customer prefs for extra tahini without me typing a thing. Went from 5% error rate on spice blends to zero, and my team's happier not chasing down lost info during the morning rush. Worth every penny for the peace of mind—sales are up 15% this season."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this work for a single food truck without fancy tech?
Great question—we get that not every truck starts with high-end gear. Our solution begins with whatever you have, like a basic Square reader or even paper backups. We build a simple AI layer that pulls data via mobile uploads or quick scans, turning your phone into a smart hub. For instance, snap a photo of your order pad, and the AI extracts details, logs them to inventory, and flags any issues. It's flexible, starting small to fit your budget, and scales as you add tablets or integrate apps. Owners tell us it feels like an upgrade without the overwhelm, saving 5-7 hours weekly right away. No big IT overhauls needed; we handle the setup remotely.
Will this handle the chaos of events and festivals?
Absolutely, because we've designed it for exactly that mobile madness. Traditional tools often glitch without steady internet, but ours includes offline capture—log sales on-site, and it syncs later. Think of it like a backup generator for your data. During a recent client rollout for a festival circuit truck, we incorporated GPS triggers to auto-adjust forecasts based on location crowds. The result? No more post-event data scrambles, with everything reconciled by morning. We also add buffers for high-volume spikes, ensuring 99% accuracy even in 200-order rushes. It's built tough, like your truck's axle, to keep operations humming no matter the venue.
What about data security for customer orders and allergies?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, especially with sensitive info like allergies. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and HIPAA-lite for health notes, storing data on your owned servers—not some shared cloud. For example, customer prefs are anonymized and accessible only to your crew via role-based logins. In one deployment, a truck dealing with nut allergies integrated our AI to auto-flag and archive requests, reducing risks and passing health audits smoothly. We audit everything pre-launch and offer ongoing checks. You're in full control, with easy exports if you ever switch gears. Peace of mind? That's the secret sauce here.
How much customization can I expect for my unique menu?
As much as you need—it's all about your exact setup, from fusion tacos to vegan bowls. We don't use templates; instead, we train the AI on your menu items, portion sizes, and variations during discovery. Say your truck rotates seasonal specials; our system learns to categorize them automatically, updating inventory without manual tweaks. A client with a dessert truck saw it handle 50 custom toppings flawlessly, cutting entry time by 60%. We iterate based on your input, ensuring it evolves with menu changes. It's like a sous chef who memorizes your recipes perfectly, freeing you to innovate without admin drag.
What's the timeline to get this up and running?
We aim for quick wins without rushing quality—typically 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live. Week one: deep dive into your operations. Weeks two-three: building and testing the core automations. Final weeks: integration, training, and tweaks. For a basic food truck setup, we've launched in as little as three weeks, with immediate partial rollout so you see benefits early, like auto-logging starting day one post-setup. One owner went live just before summer rush and reported zero hiccups. We prioritize your peak seasons, offering phased deployment to minimize disruption. It's efficient, but always tailored to your pace.
Can this integrate with my existing supplier apps?
Yes, we specialize in seamless ties to whatever you're using, like Sysco portals or local farm apps. No more double-entry for reorders—our AI scans inventory levels and auto-generates orders with your preferred quantities. For a produce-heavy truck, we connected it to a fresh market API, predicting needs based on sales trends and even negotiating bulk via smart alerts. Setup involves secure API links we handle, ensuring data flows both ways without errors. Clients save 8-10 hours monthly on this alone, plus reduced overordering costs. If your suppliers change, we adapt the integration fast. It's the glue that makes your whole supply chain feel effortless.
