What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Massive Time and Cost Savings with AI-Powered Hiring
Save 15-20 Hours Per Week on Manual Sourcing
Save 15-20 Hours Per Week on Manual Sourcing: Picture your ops team buried in Indeed postings for local drivers during lunch rushes. Our system automates sourcing from food delivery platforms, pulling in candidates with proven track records in urban routes and insulated bag handling. One regional chain cut sourcing from 20 hours to 2 weekly, redirecting time to fine-tune pickup times at partner restaurants—resulting in 20% fewer cold food complaints and a quick ROI through boosted repeat orders.
Cut Recruitment Costs by 40% and Boost Retention
Cut Recruitment Costs by 40% and Boost Retention: High-turnover delivery roles can drain your budget, especially when riders bail mid-season for better tips elsewhere. Our AI matches candidates to your vibe—reliable folks who thrive on multi-stop restaurant pickups. Slash agency fees by 40% and see retention rise as fits last through busy holiday catering. That pizzeria chain we partnered with saved $15K annually on hiring and bumped rider retention by 25%, ensuring steady staffing for surge pricing events without last-minute scrambles.
Fill Roles 50% Faster During Peak Seasons
Fill Roles 50% Faster During Peak Seasons: Holiday crunches hit hard when order spikes from family meal deals overwhelm your fleet. Our AI analyzes your POS data to forecast driver needs and auto-books interviews around shift gaps. From job post to onboarding in under a week, even for specialized roles like those handling fragile baked goods. The delivery startup we supported onboarded 12 riders in 4 days, dodging $10K in overtime during a major food festival—essentially a tireless assistant keeping your hot foods on track.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, summer surges meant our team was swamped sorting resumes for drivers with clean driving records and food handler permits—it ate up our dispatch lead's entire Tuesday each week. Now, the system auto-flags top matches with local restaurant route experience overnight, and we've onboarded 8 reliable drivers in the past month without any delivery hiccups. That's easily 12 hours back for optimizing pickup schedules at busy kitchens."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, QuickBite Delivery Network
"Scheduling interviews for weekend warriors who can juggle high-tip dinner rushes was chaos; they always overlapped with our peak 6-9 PM shifts. AIQ's automation integrated seamlessly with our DoorDash scheduling tool, slashing time-to-hire from 3 weeks to just 5 days. During that massive summer food truck festival, we sidestepped $8,000 in overtime by filling spots fast—deliveries stayed on time, no cold pizzas reported."
Raj Patel
HR Lead, UrbanEats Express Fleet
"With our 50-driver fleet serving 20+ partner restaurants, manual background checks for DOT compliance and allergen training were a bottleneck. Their AI plugs right into our route optimization software, auto-screening for issues like expired certifications. Last quarter, we hired 15 new riders in record time, boosting on-time delivery rates by 15% during stormy weather—finally ditched those error-prone Excel trackers for good."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the high turnover in food delivery roles?
Turnover is a beast in delivery—drivers come and go with the seasons. Our custom AI learns from your past hires, prioritizing traits like reliability during bad weather. It sources from targeted pools, screens quickly, and even predicts gaps based on your order data. One service we built for saw turnover drop 20% because they hired better fits faster. We tailor it to your churn patterns, saving you from constant rehiring cycles. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with immediate ROI as you fill roles in days, not weeks. It's all about keeping your routes covered without the manual grind.
Can it integrate with our existing delivery management software?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. Whether you're using something like Onfleet or a custom dispatch system, we build two-way connections so candidate data flows right into your ops. No more copying info between apps. For example, we synced hiring pipelines with route planning for a client, so they could assign new drivers instantly. This cuts errors and saves hours weekly. We start by auditing your stack, then code secure APIs that handle real-time updates, like alerting on new hires during peaks. It's built to scale with your business, ensuring smooth operations as volumes spike.
What kind of time savings can we expect right away?
Let's be honest, manual recruiting in delivery steals time from core tasks like optimizing routes. Our system automates sourcing and screening, saving 15-20 hours per week for a typical team of 50. That's managers focusing on customer experience instead of emails. A real example: a meal kit service went from 25 hours on hiring to 5, redirecting efforts to efficiency gains that boosted on-time deliveries by 12%. We measure this in your custom build, with dashboards showing exact ROI from day one. Short-term? Immediate relief during rushes. Long-term? A leaner, more productive team.
Is this suitable for small delivery operations with just 10-20 drivers?
Yes, we specialize in SMBs like yours—small fleets face the same pains but can't afford big-agency fees. Our solution scales down, automating sourcing for part-time gig workers without overkill. We customized one for a local pizza delivery with 15 drivers; they cut hiring costs by 35% and filled seasonal spots in half the time. It's not a bloated template— we map to your workflow, like quick screens for bike couriers. Setup is straightforward, with training that fits busy schedules. You'll own a system that grows as you add vans or expand zones, delivering efficiency without the subscription trap.
How do you ensure the AI finds candidates who fit our delivery culture?
Culture fit matters in delivery— you need folks who thrive under pressure, not just any driver. Our AI uses your input to score candidates on specifics, like punctuality from past gig reviews or experience with food safety. We train it on your successful hires, so it learns what works for your team. For instance, a client emphasized customer-friendly riders; the system now prioritizes those, reducing complaints by 18%. It's all custom: we review your values during discovery and refine iteratively. No black-box guesses—transparent scoring you can tweak, ensuring hires who boost your on-time ratings and keep customers coming back.
What's the cost and ROI timeline for this service?
Costs are project-based, starting around $15K for a full custom build, depending on your integrations—far less than ongoing agency fees. ROI hits fast: most see payback in 3-6 months through 40% cost cuts and 15 hours saved weekly. Think $20K+ annual savings for a mid-sized service, from fewer no-shows and overtime. We provide a detailed projection upfront, based on your current hiring spend. Unlike subscriptions that nickel-and-dime you, this is a one-time build you own. We've tracked it for clients: one recouped investment in two months by streamlining during a holiday boom. It's about real efficiency, not hype.
