What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Operational Wins Built for Ghost Kitchens
Lightning-Fast Order Processing
Wave goodbye to typing in each DoorDash or Uber Eats ticket during the dinner rush. Our AI pulls orders directly from multiple platforms, cutting entry time from 10 minutes per batch to under 2, so your burgers and pizzas hit the road hot, keeping your 4.8-star ratings intact.
Smarter Inventory Without the Guesswork
Tired of running out of fresh herbs or avocados mid-rush? We automate tracking with AI forecasts based on your sales history from busy weekends, reducing food waste by 30% and saving you $300 a week on overstocked perishables like dairy and produce.
Error-Free Scaling for Peak Hours
During that Friday night frenzy, manual tweaks can throw off portions for family-style pasta or grill items and eat into profits. Our system auto-scales recipes based on order volume and alerts for low stock on staples like flour, ensuring consistent taste and boosting kitchen efficiency by 40% when lines are out the door.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were glued to screens entering orders from DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Postmates, and we'd lose track of inventory—cost us $450 in spoiled tomatoes and lettuce one month during summer peaks. Now, everything syncs automatically, and our prep time for salads and wraps dropped by half. It's a game-changer for our 24/7 ghost kitchen operation."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, Urban Bites Ghost Kitchen in downtown Chicago
"I was skeptical about custom AI for our small Indian fusion spot, but after two months of implementation, shift handoffs for the tandoor team are seamless—no more manual logs causing mix-ups on spice levels. We saved 15 hours a week on rostering, and our delivery accuracy for curries jumped from 85% to 98%. Worth every penny for our tight margins."
Raj Patel
Head Chef and Owner, Spice Route Kitchen in Austin, Texas
"Handling supplier invoices manually for weekly deliveries of organic greens and seafood was killing our end-of-day close-out, especially with fluctuating costs from local farms. AIQ's system reconciles everything in real-time during invoice uploads, cutting our reconciliation errors by 70% and freeing us to innovate on vegan bowls instead of drowning in paperwork."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this custom AI handle the variability in ghost kitchen orders?
Ghost kitchens live and die by handling unpredictable surges, right? Our solution starts by analyzing your historical data from POS and delivery apps to learn patterns—like those Friday night spikes. We build an AI model that auto-prioritizes high-volume items, syncs orders in under 10 seconds, and even suggests batch preps to keep things moving. It's not rigid; it adapts as your menu changes, say from adding vegan options. We've seen ops reduce wait times by 25%, meaning happier customers and fewer bad reviews. Plus, it's all owned by you—no relying on app updates that could disrupt service.
What integrations do you support for popular food service apps?
We get it—your stack might include Toast POS, Square, or even custom spreadsheets for inventory. Our team specializes in deep, two-way API connections, so we pull data from Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, and more without missing a beat. For inventory, we integrate with tools like MarketMan or even QuickBooks for seamless tracking. If something's quirky, we custom-code bridges that are rock-solid, unlike superficial links that fail during rush hour. In one project, we connected a fragmented setup for a client, cutting their manual syncs from 2 hours daily to zero. It's built to fit your exact needs, ensuring no data silos slow you down.
How long does it take to see results in my ghost kitchen?
You're probably thinking this sounds great, but will it work fast enough for my tight margins? Typically, we deliver a working prototype in 2-4 weeks after our initial discovery call, with full rollout in 6-8 weeks. Early wins hit quick: one kitchen saw order entry errors drop 60% within the first month, freeing up staff for actual cooking. We test iteratively in your live environment to minimize disruption, and post-launch, our AI refines itself using your data. Long-term, expect 30-50% efficiency gains, like reduced waste from better forecasting. It's not overnight magic, but it's targeted to your workflow for real, measurable impact from day one.
Is this solution scalable as my ghost kitchen grows?
Absolutely—growth is the goal, but scaling manual entry just amplifies headaches. Our custom AI is designed with modularity in mind, using scalable frameworks that handle 10 orders a day or 500 without breaking a sweat. As you add locations or menus, we extend integrations effortlessly, like layering in new delivery partners. A client started with one kitchen and expanded to three; their system auto-balanced inventory across sites, saving $2,000 monthly in overstock. Unlike subscription tools that charge per user or hit limits, yours is owned and flexible, growing with your business while keeping costs predictable and efficiency high.
What kind of support do you provide after implementation?
We don't just build and bail—that's not how we roll in food service, where ops never sleep. Post-launch, you get dedicated support for the first 90 days, including weekly check-ins to tweak based on your feedback, like fine-tuning inventory alerts for perishable goods. Our team monitors performance remotely to catch issues before they impact service, and we offer ongoing optimizations as your needs evolve. Testimonials from our clients highlight this: one ops manager said our quarterly reviews alone prevented $1,500 in potential waste. It's partnership-style support from engineers who understand ghost kitchen pressures, ensuring your system stays a perfect fit.
How secure is the data in this custom system for my recipes and orders?
Security is non-negotiable in food service, especially with proprietary recipes and customer details. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and PCI for payments, storing data in secure, US-based clouds. Access is role-based—cooks see orders, managers get analytics—preventing leaks. Regular audits and backups protect against downtime, crucial during peak hours. In a recent build, we added custom safeguards for a client's secret sauce formulas, giving them peace of mind. You're not just getting efficiency; it's a fortress for your kitchen's intellectual property, tailored to industry risks without the bloat of generic security add-ons.
