Our Custom-Built AI Marketing Automation for Your Ghost Kitchen
We've powered marketing for over 50 food service operations, from bustling ghost kitchens to multi-location chains, delivering tailored systems that fit like a glove.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, running a ghost kitchen means every minute counts—prepping fresh bowls while chasing the next DoorDash surge. Here's the thing: generic tools force you into cookie-cutter campaigns that flop with picky eaters. We build your marketing automation from scratch, integrating directly with your POS, delivery apps, and customer data. No subscriptions piling up. Just a unified AI system that automates personalized emails like 'Hey, loved your last pad thai—20% off tonight?' It learns your menu rhythms, predicts busy slots, and scales promos without you lifting a finger. You're probably thinking, 'Does this really work for my setup?' Absolutely—we map your exact workflow first.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Revenue Gains Tailored to Your Kitchen
Save 20 Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks
Save 20 Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks: Picture this: instead of your team scrambling to segment lists for lunch rush promos on pad thai versus stir-fry, AI handles it in under 5 minutes per campaign. We automate customer tagging by cuisine prefs—like spicy vs. mild—freeing up shifts for actual cooking and order fulfillment. Clients see a 30% drop in admin time, translating to $5K+ monthly savings in labor costs for a mid-sized ghost kitchen handling 500+ daily deliveries.
Boost Order Volume by 35% with Smart Personalization
Boost Order Volume by 35% with Smart Personalization: Like a sous chef anticipating the dinner rush, our AI predicts customer cravings from past orders—like suggesting extra guac for burrito lovers—and sends timed offers via SMS. No more blanket discounts that eat margins on high-cost items. One operator told us their repeat rate jumped from 25% to 60% after we tailored upsells for vegan bowls during peak hours, adding 150 extra orders weekly—pure ROI magic for busy takeout spots.
Achieve 4x ROI on Marketing Spend
Achieve 4x ROI on Marketing Spend: Tracking scattered across apps like Postmates and Grubhub? We consolidate it into one dashboard, showing exactly which push notification drove that surge in 200+ sushi roll orders last Friday night. Efficiency gains mean less waste on underperforming geo-targeted ads—expect payback in under 3 months, with ongoing boosts as the system learns your ghost kitchen's unique flow, from late-night cravings for ramen to weekend brunches for avocado toast.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we were glued to our phones sending promo texts for burger combos during prep, losing hours every shift to ghost kitchen chaos. Now, the system auto-sends targeted deals to our top 200 customers based on their last order—like fries upsells for steak lovers—and it brought back 15% of lapsed folks in the first month, saving us about 18 hours a week for better inventory management."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Lead at Urban Bites Ghost Kitchen, specializing in customizable pizzas and salads
"I was skeptical about automation fitting our chaotic delivery schedule with constant DoorDash surges, but they built something that syncs perfectly and personalizes for neighborhood tastes—like curry heat levels for Indian takeout fans. Our promo open rates went from 12% to 45% in two months, and we cut marketing costs by $2,200 last quarter without losing a beat in the kitchen during peak dinner rushes."
Raj Patel
Founder of SpiceHub Kitchens, focusing on authentic Indian fusion bowls
"Manual tracking was killing us—spreadsheets everywhere for every campaign across Uber Eats and our POS for poke bowl specials. Their custom setup integrates everything and spits out real ROI numbers weekly, like which email re-engagement drove 120 extra acai smoothie orders. We reclaimed 22 hours for menu tweaks on seasonal salads, and those emails alone added $8K to February revenue during slow winter nights. Game-changer for our small team juggling catering too."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle our variable delivery schedules in a ghost kitchen?
Great question—we get that ghost kitchens don't run like clockwork. Our custom AI syncs directly with your delivery platforms to detect surges, like a Friday night rush, and triggers promos accordingly. For instance, if DoorDash data shows a lull mid-week, it auto-sends re-engagement offers to lapsed customers. We map your specific workflow during discovery, ensuring the system adapts to your hours without constant tweaks. One client saved 12 hours weekly just by automating these timed blasts, boosting orders by 28% during off-peaks. It's all built to fit your rhythm, not force a rigid schedule.
Will this integrate with our existing POS and delivery apps?
Absolutely, integration is our bread and butter. We connect seamlessly with tools like Square, Toast, Uber Eats, and DoorDash using deep, two-way APIs—no brittle workarounds. This means your order data flows straight into the automation, powering personalized campaigns like 'Add fries to your next burger order?' based on real history. Unlike generic tools that glitch during high volume, our custom builds are production-ready. A ghost kitchen we worked with went from manual exports to real-time syncing, cutting data entry by 90% and lifting promo ROI to 4x in three months.
What's the ROI timeline for a small ghost kitchen like mine?
You're probably thinking about quick wins—fair enough. Most clients see payback in 2-4 months, with immediate time savings from day one. For a setup processing 200 orders weekly, expect 15-20 hours reclaimed on marketing tasks, equating to $3K-$5K in labor savings monthly. Revenue kicks in fast too: personalized automations often boost orders 25-40% by re-engaging customers. We track it all in your dashboard, showing metrics like cost per acquisition down 35%. It's tailored, so your exact ROI depends on volume, but we've never had a food service client not hit positive returns by quarter's end.
Do I need a big team to manage this marketing automation?
Not at all— that's the beauty of it. We design for lean ghost kitchen teams, so one manager can oversee everything via a simple dashboard, no tech degree required. The AI handles the heavy lifting: segmenting lists, crafting messages, and analyzing results. Think of it like an extra line cook who never tires. A two-person operation we built for automated their entire promo cycle, freeing the owner to focus on sourcing ingredients. Setup includes hands-on training, and we provide ongoing tweaks. Bottom line: it scales with your size, saving you from hiring extra hands just for marketing grunt work.
How is this different from off-the-shelf marketing tools for food service?
Here's the thing: off-the-shelf options are like pre-made dough—convenient but not shaped for your kitchen. They rely on templates that ignore ghost-specific needs, like rapid delivery integrations or menu-driven personalization, leading to clunky workflows and hidden fees. We build custom, owning the code so it evolves with you—no subscription traps or integration headaches. For example, our AI predicts based on your exact sales patterns, not generic data, delivering 3x better engagement. Clients switch to us after ditching tools that couldn't handle peak-hour automations, gaining full control and 50% cost cuts long-term.
Can this system handle compliance for food promotions?
Yes, we prioritize that—food service regs are no joke. Our automations include built-in checks for disclosures, like allergen info in emails or accurate pricing for delivery deals. We tailor it to your location's rules, ensuring promos comply without manual reviews. During build, we incorporate your guidelines, so AI-generated content flags potential issues. A client in a strict market avoided fines by auto-including nutrition details in upsell messages, all while saving 10 hours on compliance checks weekly. It's peace of mind wrapped in efficiency, custom to your ghost kitchen's standards.
