Manually researching caterer needs for weddings or corporate luncheons, delaying your pitch until after the lunch rush
Follow-up calls eating into prep time for sauces and marinades, leading to missed runs to the farmers market for fresh produce
Generic outreach to corporate clients falling flat, like serving bland tacos instead of customized fusion burritos
Tracking leads scattered across notes and texts, causing double-booked catering spots during high-demand weekends
Seasonal vendor hunts for food festivals pulling you from peak lunch crowds at office parks

We've powered sales automations for over 50 food service ops, from trucks to diners, turning chaotic outreach into a smooth workflow

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I was manually emailing 50 potential clients a week, often missing what they needed for events like office happy hours.

Last quarter, it nabbed five food truck festival slots I’d have overlooked, spiking revenue 25% without extra hands. It’s like an tireless sous chef for sales."

Turned a sluggish fall into 15 solid vendor ties, halving my sales time. ROI hit from week one—no more blind spots in the market."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the seasonal ups and downs in food truck bookings?
Food trucks live and breathe seasonality—summer festivals boom, winter slows to a crawl. Our custom AI adapts by analyzing historical data from your routes and local events, prioritizing outreach to high-potential periods. For instance, it ramps up pitches to holiday planners in fall, using past booking patterns to predict hot spots. We build in flexibility so you can tweak targets mid-season, like shifting to corporate wellness events if weather tanks outdoor gigs. This saves you from manual calendar juggling, ensuring steady leads year-round. One client saw a 25% booking increase in off-months after we tuned it for their regional trends. It's all tailored—no generic seasonal templates here.
Will this work with my existing setup, like Square or Google Calendar?
Absolutely, we specialize in seamless integrations for food service tools. Whether you're using Square for payments, Google Calendar for routes, or a simple CRM for contacts, our engineers create two-way connections that pull in real-time data—like available dates or menu updates—without disrupting your flow. No clunky imports; it's automated. For a truck owner with a basic setup, we once linked everything in under two weeks, turning lead responses into instant booking confirmations. This eliminates double-entry errors that plague manual systems, boosting efficiency right away. We map it to your exact workflow during discovery, so it feels like an extension of your operations.
How much time does it really save for a solo food truck operator?
Let's be honest, solo operators wear every hat—from chef to salesperson. Our AI slashes outreach time from 15-20 hours weekly to under 2, by automating research, writing, and tracking. Imagine researching 50 local businesses manually; the system does it in minutes, crafting pitches based on their event history. A real example: one owner used to spend evenings on this, now uses that time for sourcing fresh ingredients, reporting a 35% productivity boost. Quantifiable ROI comes fast—track saved hours against new revenue from gigs. We customize the depth to your scale, ensuring even small tweaks yield big time wins without overwhelming your mobile routine.
Can the AI make outreach feel personal, not robotic, for my brand?
You're probably thinking automated means impersonal, but we design it to capture your truck's unique voice—like the sassy tone of your social posts or warmth of your customer chats. The AI trains on your past emails and menu descriptions, generating pitches that reference specifics, such as suggesting your gluten-free wraps for a team's dietary needs. It's like having a savvy assistant who knows your story. For a fusion truck client, this led to 40% more replies because prospects felt seen, not spammed. We include human review options for final touches, keeping it authentic while saving you the grunt work. Tailored personalization is key to standing out in a crowded food scene.
What kind of ROI can I expect, and how is it measured?
ROI in food service is all about turning outreach into paying gigs without ballooning costs. Expect 3-5x returns within months— for every hour invested in setup, gain 10+ in saved time and revenue. We measure via built-in dashboards tracking metrics like lead-to-booking conversion (aim for 25-30% uplift), cost per acquisition (down 50% from manual), and total hours reclaimed. One truck saw $15K in new event revenue from automated campaigns that cost pennies to run. It's quantifiable: we baseline your current process, then show gains post-launch. No fluff—real numbers tied to your bottom line, adjusted for variables like location or menu changes.
Is this secure for handling client data in the food industry?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with sensitive details like event contracts or vendor contacts in food service. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and CCPA, ensuring your leads and outreach data stay locked down. No third-party subs; everything runs on your owned system. For a client dealing with high-profile events, we implemented role-based access so only you see the full picture. Regular audits and secure APIs prevent breaches, unlike leaky no-code tools. We walk you through it during onboarding, so you feel confident—peace of mind lets you focus on slinging great food, not worrying about data slips.
