The "Marketing Overload" Problem

Inconsistent Social Buzz from a Mobile Setup: Posting erratic updates on Instagram about your pop-up spot while driving to the next event, missing peak lunch hour engagement

Forgetting Loyalty Perks Amid Route Changes: Overlooking punch-card rewards for regulars when rerouting due to festivals or weather, leading to lost repeat business

Wasted Ad Spend on Generic Targeting: Burning $200+ weekly on Facebook ads that hit office workers instead of festival-goers craving your street tacos

No-Shows Eating into Peak-Hour Profits: Losing $150 in prepped falafel portions during dinner rushes when customers flake on texted orders

Overwhelmed by Feedback Without Actionable Insights: Drowning in Yelp reviews about slow service at markets but no way to track trends in customer spice preferences

Unlock Time and Revenue Without the Hassle

Slash 15+ Hours Weekly on Repetitive Tasks

Slash 15+ Hours Weekly on Repetitive Tasks: Picture this: instead of hand-crafting emails about your weekly BBQ special at 6 AM, our AI does it in seconds, pulling from your POS sales data to personalize for repeat taco fans who ordered last week. That's hours saved per week, translating to $500+ in extra revenue from focused prep time—like more time grilling—and zero missed opportunities during lunch rushes. Efficiency gains like this boost productivity by 40%, keeping your energy high for those long park days and evening events.

Drive 2-3x ROI with Smarter Customer Engagement

Drive 2-3x ROI with Smarter Customer Engagement: Here's the thing—food truck crowds crave that personal touch, but manual follow-ups kill your vibe. Our system automates loyalty rewards, like texting 'Hey, your burrito order is waiting!' to no-shows within 30 minutes, cutting waste by 25% on prepped ingredients such as fresh guac. Clients see ROI kick in month one, with one truck owner reporting $2K more monthly from repeat visits to their falafel stand. It's not magic; it's precise, data-driven outreach built for your route, integrating with Square for seamless tracking.

Boost Productivity and Cut Costs by 30%

Boost Productivity and Cut Costs by 30%: You're probably thinking about those quiet afternoons updating your Google My Business location while restocking sauces. We automate it all, syncing with your GPS for instant alerts to nearby foodies about your coffee cart's arrival. This eliminates costly manual errors, like double-posting or forgotten promos for happy hour specials, saving $300/month on ad tweaks. Food truck teams report sleeping better, with ops running smoother and crews less frazzled—pure operational efficiency on the go, even during off-peak catering gigs.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, I was spending my breaks texting customers about menu changes—like our new kimchi taco special—total drag on my day while prepping for the farmers market. Now, the system auto-sends updates tied to my truck's GPS location, and I've seen a 20% uptick in lunch rushes over the last two months, adding about $800 in extra sales. It's like having an extra hand without the payroll hit."

Maria Gonzalez

Owner, Rolling Tacos Food Truck in Austin, TX

"We used to lose track of who loved our vegan options, leading to wasted prep on extra kale wraps. Their custom AI now flags preferences from POS data and emails tailored deals, like 10% off for repeat orders—saved us about 10 hours a week and added $1,500 in repeat sales last quarter from our street fair spots. Feels custom-made for our crazy schedule with last-minute route changes."

Jamal Reed

Head Chef and Operator, Green Bites Vegan Mobile Kitchen in Portland, OR

"Social media was a nightmare with our shifting spots; posts went out late or wrong, like missing the brewery event crowd. AIQ built something that pulls my calendar and blasts Instagram stories automatically about our fusion sushi rolls. No more no-shows at events, with attendance up 30% in the off-season, and my crew's not bogged down—honestly, it's transformed our winter pop-ups."

Step 2

Why We're Different

We build from the ground up with custom code, not just glue together off-the-shelf apps—meaning your system evolves with your truck's growth, avoiding the fragility of no-code hacks that break during busy seasons.

True ownership: You own the AI asset outright, ditching endless subscriptions that drain $500+ monthly from food service budgets, unlike agencies that lock you into rented tools.

Deep industry know-how: We've tackled food truck specifics like geo-triggered alerts, so solutions fit your mobile life, not some generic playbook.

Scalable without limits: Our production-ready frameworks handle spikes in customer queries during festivals, where typical assemblers crumble under load.

Unified everything: One dashboard for all marketing—emails, social, loyalty—eliminating the app-juggling that steals hours from prepping fresh salsas.

ROI-first engineering: We prioritize measurable wins like 15-hour weekly savings, backed by data, not vague promises, tailored to your slim margins.

No brittle integrations: Two-way APIs ensure seamless data flow from your POS to promotions, preventing the sync errors that plague disconnected setups.

Human-centered design: Custom UIs built for quick mobile checks, so you're not fumbling with clunky interfaces while plating orders.

Proven in chaos: Our own platforms handle real-time tasks like trend-based content, mirroring the unpredictability of street vending.

Common Questions

How does this work with my food truck's changing locations?

Great question—mobility is the heart of your business, so we integrate GPS tracking directly into the automation. The AI pulls your real-time location from apps like Google Maps or your route planner, then triggers hyper-local marketing, like texting 'We're parked at Market Square now—grab your falafel fix!' This ensures promotions hit the right crowd without you manually updating everything. We've built this for trucks that shift daily, saving owners like you from location-based headaches and boosting on-site traffic by up to 30%. Setup takes just a quick API link, and it's all custom to your schedule—no generic delays.

What kind of time savings can I really expect?

You're probably wondering if this is just hype. Let's break it down: most food truck owners lose 15-20 hours weekly on manual marketing, like crafting posts or chasing leads between shifts. Our system automates 80% of that—think auto-generated Instagram stories from your menu photos or personalized emails based on order history. One client shaved off 12 hours a week, redirecting time to vendor runs and family. Quantifiable? Yes: expect 2-3x ROI in three months through higher repeat visits and cut ad waste. We tailor it to your workflow, so savings start immediate and scale with your growth.

Is this built for small operations like mine?

Absolutely, and that's our sweet spot. Food trucks often start lean, with tight budgets and solo crews, so we design lightweight yet powerful systems—no bloated features you won't use. For instance, we connect your simple POS (like Square) to automate loyalty texts without needing a full IT team. It's custom-built, starting small and expanding as you add a second truck or seasonal hires. Clients with 1-5 staff report 25% efficiency gains right away, without the overwhelm of enterprise tools. Think of it as a sous-chef for your marketing: efficient, reliable, and always ready for the rush.

How do you ensure it fits my exact menu and customer base?

Here's the thing—we don't do one-size-fits-all. During discovery, we analyze your menu data, customer patterns (like peak falafel days), and even seasonal routes to train the AI specifically for you. It learns to personalize, say, suggesting veggie wraps to past orderers or timing promos for lunch crowds. No templates; it's engineered from your inputs, integrating with tools you already use. A recent food truck partner saw engagement jump 40% because the system nailed their vegan niche. We iterate based on your feedback, ensuring it evolves like your specials board—fresh and relevant every time.

What about costs—how does this compare to subscriptions?

Subscriptions can nickel-and-dime you, especially with food service margins. Our model ditches that: one-time build plus minimal maintenance, owning your system outright saves $400-600 monthly versus juggling Mailchimp, Hootsuite, and SMS tools. ROI hits fast—clients recoup investment in 2-4 months via time saved (15+ hours/week) and revenue lifts (20-30% from targeted campaigns). For a food truck, that's like adding $1K extra without extra overhead. We focus on your bottlenecks, like manual promos during festivals, delivering custom value without ongoing fees. Transparent pricing from the start, tailored to your scale.

Can it handle peak times like festivals without crashing?

Festivals are make-or-break for food trucks—high volume, no room for glitches. Our production-ready AI is built on robust frameworks that scale seamlessly, handling 10x traffic spikes without a hitch. We've stress-tested it for scenarios like auto-sending 500+ promo texts during a street fair, integrating real-time with your POS to avoid overload. Unlike flaky no-code setups, ours uses advanced code for reliability, so you focus on serving lines, not tech woes. One operator ran it through a month-long event series with zero downtime, capturing 15% more leads. We include monitoring to keep it humming through the chaos.
