Endless manual entry of daily sales data from POS systems, like tallying ticket times and entrée upsells by hand
Missed follow-ups on customer reservations and catering inquiries
Inaccurate inventory tracking tied to fluctuating sales patterns, such as overstocking perishables after a slow night
Wasted time chasing unpaid catering deposits or group bookings
Overwhelmed staff juggling phone orders for takeout and delivery with no automated routing to the line cooks
Struggling to analyze peak sales trends for menu optimizations, like identifying why pasta specials spike on Wednesdays

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Tangible Time and Cost Wins
Save 15-25 Hours Weekly on Admin
Save 15-25 Hours Weekly on Admin: Let's be honest, your team spends too much time logging sales from the POS and chasing reservation reminders instead of prepping mise en place. Our automation handles order data entry from systems like Toast or Square and customer outreach via SMS, freeing up staff for front-of-house magic. One client saw a 40% drop in overtime costs in just the first month after automating end-of-shift reports—that's real money back in your pocket, like redirecting those hours to table turns.
Drive 20-30% Revenue Lift from Smarter Upsells
Drive 20-30% Revenue Lift from Smarter Upsells: You're probably thinking upsells are hit-or-miss during the dinner rush. Not anymore. Our AI analyzes buying patterns—like who orders family-style Italian on Fridays—and suggests add-ons in real-time via integrated messaging to your POS. Picture this: automated texts to loyalty members for dessert pairings or craft beer flights, boosting check averages without extra effort. Efficiency gains like this mean higher ROI, with payback in under six months through increased beverage sales alone.
Scale Effortlessly as You Expand Locations
Scale Effortlessly as You Expand Locations: Growth shouldn't mean more chaos in syncing inventory across kitchens. Built on robust frameworks, our platform handles unlimited data flows from multi-site POS, syncing sales across locations like a well-oiled kitchen brigade. No limits on orders or users—it's enterprise-ready from day one, ensuring productivity soars even during holiday rushes. Clients report 50% faster decision-making on menu changes, like tweaking brunch specials based on real-time data, keeping operations tight and waste low.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our front-of-house team was buried in spreadsheets tracking catering leads for weddings and corporate events—it took hours every shift during peak season. Now, the automation pulls everything from our Lightspeed POS and sends personalized follow-up emails automatically. We've closed 15 more events this quarter, saving us about 18 hours a week on admin so we can focus on plating those signature risottos."
Maria Gonzalez
General Manager at Bella Italia Bistro, a family-owned Italian spot in Chicago
"I was skeptical about AI for a small diner like ours, but their system integrated our online orders from DoorDash and sales data from Square overnight. No more missed upsells during the lunch rush, like forgetting to pitch milkshakes with burgers. Revenue from add-ons jumped 25% in two months, and my manager's not pulling all-nighters closing out the grill anymore—it's a game-changer for our tight margins."
Jamal Carter
Owner of Quick Bite Diner, a neighborhood breakfast joint in Atlanta
"Scaling to our second location was a nightmare with disjointed tools tracking inventory for fusion tacos across sites. AIQ built a custom sales hub that syncs everything in real-time from our Clover POS. We've cut manual reporting by 22 hours weekly and spotted trends that let us adjust happy hour specials faster—like boosting margarita sales on Thursdays—honestly, it's like having an extra staff member who never sleeps during dinner service."
Sarah Lee
Operations Director at Fusion Grill Chain, a growing Asian-Latin eatery with locations in Seattle

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle high-volume order days like weekends?
In food service, weekends can feel like a battlefield. Our platform is built on robust, scalable architecture that processes thousands of transactions per hour without breaking a sweat. We integrate directly with your POS to auto-capture orders, flag anomalies like unusual spikes in takeout, and even suggest staffing adjustments based on predicted rushes. One restaurant chain we worked with handled a 300% volume increase during holidays seamlessly—no manual overrides needed. It's like having an AI sous chef managing the backend while you focus on the front. Setup includes stress-testing to match your busiest days, ensuring 99.9% uptime.
What if my restaurant uses multiple sales channels, like in-house and delivery apps?
You're probably thinking integration nightmares. Not with us. We create custom two-way APIs that pull data from DoorDash, Uber Eats, your POS, and even website orders into one unified stream. This eliminates duplicate entries and gives you a single view of total sales velocity. For example, if a customer orders via app and then dines in, our AI links the profiles for better personalization. We've helped spots like yours save 10-15 hours weekly by automating this sync, reducing errors in revenue reporting. It's all owned code, so it scales as you add channels without extra costs.
How quickly can I see ROI from sales automation?
Let's be honest—time is money in restaurants. Most clients see payback within 3-6 months through direct savings: think 20 hours reclaimed per week at $25/hour staff rate, that's $2,000 monthly. Plus, revenue boosts from automated upsells add another 15-25% lift. We track metrics like order fulfillment speed and conversion rates from the start, optimizing based on your data. A cafe we automated reported $8,000 extra quarterly from targeted promos. Our approach focuses on quick wins, like immediate POS integration, so you feel the efficiency gain right away while building for long-term growth.
Is this customizable for different restaurant types, like fine dining vs. fast casual?
Absolutely—cookie-cutter won't cut it in food service. We tailor the platform to your style: for fine dining, it might emphasize reservation nurturing and wine pairing suggestions; for fast casual, quick order routing and loyalty punch-ins. We start with a deep dive into your workflows, like how you handle private events or daily specials. Our custom AI models learn from your historical sales, predicting trends specific to your menu. A bistro client customized theirs for event bookings, landing 20% more corporate gigs. It's flexible, scalable, and built to fit your operations like a glove.
What happens if I want to expand to more locations—does it scale?
Growth is the goal, right? Our systems are designed with enterprise architecture in mind, supporting unlimited locations without performance dips. We use advanced frameworks for data syncing across sites, so sales from your flagship inform inventory at satellites in real-time. No limits on users or transactions—it's built to handle chain-level volume. For instance, a growing taco chain we partnered with expanded from 3 to 7 spots seamlessly, maintaining 25 hours saved per location weekly. We include ongoing optimization to adapt as you scale, ensuring your sales automation evolves with your empire.
How secure is the sales data in your automation platform?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive customer info like payment details. We build with end-to-end encryption, compliant with PCI DSS for payments and GDPR for data privacy. Your sales data stays in a fortified, owned system—no third-party vulnerabilities. Features include role-based access, so only managers see full reports, and audit logs track every change. We've audited our setups for restaurants handling high-volume cards, preventing breaches that could cost thousands. It's peace of mind, letting you focus on service, not worries.
