What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, I was handwriting notes for customer birthdays and hoping they'd come back for their usual. Now, the system auto-sends a 15% discount on their favorite blueberry muffins, and we've seen a 20% uptick in those visits over six months. It's saved me about 12 hours a week on top of our busy weekend rushes—I finally get evenings off to spend with family."

Maria Gonzalez

Owner of Sweet Rise Bakery in Portland, OR

"Our old email blasts were generic and ignored by our regulars. Their custom AI analyzes purchase history to promote seasonal apple pies just right, and sales jumped 15% last fall during harvest season. Setup took two weeks to sync with our Toast POS, and now it's all hands-free—game-changer for our small team handling daily dough prep."

Tom Reilly

General Manager at Hearthstone Bakeshop in Denver, CO

"I was buried in social posts about our daily scones during the morning rush. This automation handles it all, even responding to DMs about custom wedding cakes with flavor options. We've cut marketing time in half and gained 50 new followers monthly from local shares, without extra effort amid our flour-dusted chaos. Wish we'd done this sooner for our peak seasons."

Discovery Call and Workflow Audit

We hop on a quick call to understand your bakery's unique flow—from dough mixing to delivery handoffs—and pinpoint where marketing tasks are stealing your time. No fluff, just mapping out a plan built for you.

Step 2

Custom Design and AI Integration

Our team crafts the automation from scratch, weaving in your POS data and customer preferences to create personalized campaigns that feel natural, like recommending apple turnovers to fall fans.

Step 3

Launch, Train, and Optimize

We roll it out with hands-on training for your staff, then monitor performance to tweak for even better results—ensuring your system evolves as your menu does, with full ownership in your hands.

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up with custom code, not piecing together off-the-shelf apps that break during your busiest bake sales—giving you true ownership instead of endless subscriptions.

Our focus on food service means we get the chaos of perishable inventory and peak hours, designing systems that adapt to your schedule rather than forcing you into rigid templates.

Unlike assemblers relying on fragile no-code tools, we engineer scalable AI that grows with your bakery, preventing downtime when you need reliability most.

We eliminate 'subscription chaos' by unifying everything into one owned platform, so you're not juggling logins while pulling trays from the oven.

Our deep API integrations ensure seamless data flow between your marketing and operations, reducing errors that could mean lost orders or unhappy customers.

We prioritize quantifiable ROI with built-in analytics tailored to bakery metrics, like tracking promo-driven foot traffic, not vague business KPIs.

As builders who've deployed our own AI platforms, we deliver production-ready solutions that handle real-world bakery volumes without glitches.

We train on your specific data for hyper-personalized outputs, like flavor-based recommendations, far beyond generic automation's one-size-fits-all approach.

Our systems emphasize customer experience, automating warm, inviting touches that build loyalty—think birthday emails that feel handwritten.

We offer ongoing optimization without extra fees, evolving your automation as trends like vegan bakes emerge, keeping you ahead of competitors.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle seasonal changes in my bakery menu?

Great question—seasonality is huge in baking, right? Our custom AI learns from your historical data, like how pumpkin spice flies in fall but flops in summer. We build it to auto-adjust campaigns: pulling from your menu updates via POS integration to promote apple cider donuts when the weather cools. For instance, if you upload a new spring lineup, it generates targeted emails and posts within hours, without you manually tweaking lists. This saves you from scrambling during transitions, ensuring promotions stay fresh and relevant. We've seen bakeries boost seasonal sales by 25% this way, all while you focus on sourcing ingredients. Setup includes a simple dashboard for overrides, so it's always under your control.

Will this work with my existing POS and email tools?

Absolutely, integration is our specialty. You're probably thinking about your Square or Toast setup— we create deep, two-way connections so data flows effortlessly, like pulling today's sales to auto-send thank-you notes with upsell offers for tomorrow's croissants. No more copy-pasting between apps. We handle the heavy lifting, testing everything to avoid disruptions during peak hours. For a recent client with Clover POS, we synced it in a week, cutting data entry by 10 hours monthly. It's all custom, so it fits your exact stack without forcing migrations. If something's quirky, our team troubleshoots on-site if needed.

What's the ROI timeline for a small bakery like mine?

Let's be honest, you need results fast in food service where margins are tight. Most of our bakery clients see positive ROI within 3-6 months—think saving $500/month on manual labor right away, plus 15-20% revenue lift from targeted campaigns. For example, one 20-employee shop recouped their investment in four months through automated loyalty emails that increased repeat orders by 28%. We provide a custom projection during consultation, based on your current spend and customer base. It's not pie-in-the-sky; our systems track metrics like open rates and conversion to sales, so you see the numbers climbing. Short term: time savings. Long term: scalable growth without added headcount.

Do I need tech skills to manage the automation?

Nope, that's the beauty of our approach—we design it as simple as checking your oven timer. You'll get an intuitive dashboard with one-click approvals for campaigns, like green-lighting a batch of promo ideas generated by AI. No coding required; our team handles the backend. For a non-techy owner we worked with, training took just two sessions, and now she reviews weekly summaries over coffee. If you're out front during rushes, mobile alerts keep you in the loop. We're here for support too, with quick video guides tailored to bakery scenarios. It empowers you without overwhelming your day.

How do you ensure the marketing feels personal, not robotic?

Personalization is key in bakeries—customers want that neighborhood feel. Our AI is trained on your voice and data, crafting messages like 'Hey Sarah, your usual blueberry scones are back in stock—grab one this weekend?' instead of bland blasts. We use real customer histories, not generics, and include options for warm touches like recipe tips. A client noted their open rates doubled because it felt like chatting with you personally. We review outputs together during setup to nail the tone, and it evolves with feedback. Here's the thing: it's like having an AI sous chef who knows your style, keeping experiences delightful and driving loyalty without the robot vibe.

Can this scale if I open a second location?

Yes, scalability is baked in—pun intended. We architect the system to handle multiple sites from the start, syncing data across locations for unified campaigns, like a chain-wide promo on signature bagels. For a bakery expanding to two spots, we added the new one in days, with zero downtime, and their cross-location upsells rose 18%. It's modular, so as you grow, features like location-specific inventory alerts expand seamlessly. No starting over with new tools. We even forecast multi-site ROI, ensuring efficiency gains compound. If you're planning growth, we factor that in during design for a future-proof setup.
