Our Custom-Built AI Sales Outreach Engine for Your Ghost Kitchen
We've powered outreach for 50+ food service ops, from urban ghost kitchens to regional catering hubs, replacing subscription sprawl with owned, scalable systems.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest—running a ghost kitchen means juggling prep lists, order surges, and the constant hunt for new revenue streams like exclusive app deals or corporate catering gigs. Here's the thing: manual outreach is like prepping sauces by hand every shift; it's time-consuming and inconsistent. You're probably thinking, 'I need something that fits my workflow, not another cookie-cutter tool.' That's where we come in. At AIQ Labs, we build a bespoke AI system that automates your entire sales outreach—from scraping targeted leads on platforms like DoorDash or Uber Eats, to generating hyper-personalized emails highlighting your vegan poke bowls or gluten-free options. Integrated directly into your POS and CRM, it handles follow-ups, schedules virtual tastings, and even predicts the best times to pitch based on seasonal demand. No more fragmented tools; just one unified system that scales with your menu expansions.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Revenue Gains That Fuel Your Growth
Reclaim 20 Hours Weekly on High-Value Tasks
Reclaim 20 Hours Weekly on High-Value Tasks: Imagine your ops manager skipping cold emails to event planners for pop-up markets—instead, our AI blasts 150+ personalized outreaches daily, tailored to ghost kitchen specialties like sushi rolls. That's 20 hours freed up for menu testing or route optimization, yielding a 25% productivity surge and faster scaling during busy periods like summer festivals.
Boost Close Rates by 35% with Smarter Targeting
Boost Close Rates by 35% with Smarter Targeting: Ghost kitchens rely on delivery volume, but bland pitches flop. Our AI scans prospect data—like historical orders from nearby offices—to personalize outreach, e.g., pitching your vegan wraps for a wellness retreat. Partners report ROI fast—one secured a $50K monthly Grubhub deal after two campaigns, closing deals in under 30 days.
Cut Costs by Ditching Multiple Subscriptions
Cut Costs by Ditching Multiple Subscriptions: Food service ops often juggle CRM, email automation, and lead gen tools for catering bids—totaling $500+ monthly. Our all-in-one AI you own slashes that by 40%, streamlining data from lead capture at trade shows to contract signing for bulk ingredient upsells, minimizing errors in tracking high-margin add-ons like dessert platters.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, my team drowned in follow-up emails for corporate catering gigs—15 hours a week vanished on chasing office lunch leads. Now, the AI scrapes local event calendars for tech conferences and customizes pitches around our Korean-Mexican fusion tacos. We snagged three new weekly contracts in the first month, boosting revenue by $12K without adding kitchen staff during our busiest quarter."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Lead, Urban Ghost Kitchen Collective
"Scaling poke bowl deliveries required endless outreach to apps and produce suppliers, but it was total chaos with shifting inventory. AIQ created a system integrating our Square POS that auto-sends tailored proposals during lunch rushes, highlighting fresh ahi tuna specials. It saved 18 hours weekly, spiked partnership inquiries by 40%, and kept us lean through the summer surge."
Raj Patel
Founder, Pacific Poke Hub
"I doubted AI for food service sales, but their setup researched vegan trends from farm-to-table expos and drafted emails that sounded just like my team. We jumped from zero to five recurring office lunch contracts in two months—think quinoa bowls for remote-hybrid teams—halving manual work and lifting margins without expanding our ghost kitchen setup."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the fast-paced nature of ghost kitchen sales cycles?
Ghost kitchens live and die by speed—think flash sales during dinner rushes or quick pivots for pop-up events. Our custom AI is built to match that tempo. It automates lead sourcing in real-time from platforms like Postmates, generating pitches within minutes of new opportunities surfacing. For instance, if a local festival announces vendors, the system scans, personalizes outreach around your crowd-pleasing sliders, and schedules follow-ups—all while integrating with your inventory to avoid overcommitting stock. We've seen ops cut response times from days to hours, landing deals that would otherwise slip to competitors. And since it's custom-coded for your workflow, it won't bog down during peaks; it's designed for the chaos of food service, saving you from manual scrambles and letting you focus on what matters: flawless execution in the kitchen.
What kind of time savings can a ghost kitchen expect from this service?
Let's be honest, in a ghost kitchen, every minute counts—whether it's prepping for a 200-order surge or chasing that next big catering contract. Our AI outreach typically frees up 15-25 hours per week by automating the grunt work: no more manually hunting for event planners or tweaking generic emails for each delivery app partnership. Take a mid-sized operation we worked with; their sales lead went from spending 20 hours weekly on cold outreach to just 2 hours reviewing AI-generated insights and closing deals. That's time redirected to menu innovation or driver coordination, with quantifiable ROI kicking in fast—often 3x return in the first quarter through higher conversion rates. We tailor it to your exact volume, so if you're scaling vegan options, it prioritizes those leads, ensuring efficiency gains stick as you grow.
Is this system customizable for my specific menu and target markets?
Absolutely—cookie-cutter tools just don't cut it in food service, where your Thai fusion wraps might appeal to downtown offices but not suburban families. We start by mapping your unique setup: your core menu, delivery radii, and ideal partners like corporate cafeterias or app exclusives. The AI then learns from your data to craft outreach that's spot-on, like suggesting bundle deals for your acai bowls to fitness event organizers. Unlike off-the-shelf software, ours is built ground-up with your inputs—no rigid templates. One client, a sushi ghost kitchen, saw outreach relevance skyrocket after we tuned it for seasonal fish availability, boosting replies by 45%. You're getting a system that's yours, evolving with menu tweaks or market shifts, all without the hassle of juggling multiple subscriptions.
How do you ensure the AI-generated outreach feels personal and not robotic?
You're probably thinking, 'AI emails? They'll sound like spam and scare off partners.' We get it—food service thrives on relationships, like that warm pitch that lands a recurring hotel brunch slot. Our approach trains the AI on your brand voice, pulling from past successful deals and menu details to create messages that feel human. For example, it might reference a prospect's recent event with 'Your team's love for bold flavors pairs perfectly with our ghost pepper tacos—let's customize a tasting.' We incorporate nuances like dietary trends or local happenings, ensuring 90% personalization rates. Clients report open rates doubling because it builds genuine connections, not blasts. Plus, we include human review loops for high-stakes pitches, blending AI efficiency with your team's touch for outreach that converts without the creep factor.
What integrations does this work with for ghost kitchen operations?
Integration nightmares are the bane of food ops—think data silos between your POS and sales notes leading to missed upsell opportunities. We design for seamless connectivity with tools you already use, like Toast or Square for orders, HubSpot or Pipedrive for CRM, and even Google Calendar for scheduling virtual menu walkthroughs. Our AI pulls real-time inventory to avoid pitching out-of-stock items in supplier outreach, or syncs delivery zone data to target local event leads. For a client with multiple ghost brands, we linked it to QuickBooks for instant ROI tracking on closed catering deals. No superficial plugs; these are robust, two-way APIs that create a single truth source, cutting errors by 70% and letting you scale without tech headaches. If your stack is unique, we build custom bridges—it's all about fitting your workflow, not forcing yours to fit.
How quickly can we see ROI from implementing this automation?
In the high-margin world of ghost kitchens, you need wins fast—delays mean lost revenue from untapped catering streams. Most clients see tangible ROI within 4-6 weeks: initial setup takes 2-3 weeks, then the AI ramps up, automating 100+ outreaches and tracking conversions. One urban operator recouped our fee in month one by securing two DoorDash exclusives worth $8K monthly, all from personalized pitches the system generated. We focus on quick wins like lead volume spikes (up 50% typically) and time savings (15+ hours/week), with dashboards showing exact metrics—deals closed, revenue added, costs avoided. Long-term, it's exponential: as the AI learns your patterns, close rates climb 30-40%, turning outreach into a profit engine. We're builders, so we optimize iteratively, ensuring your investment pays off without the slow burn of generic tools.
