Food truck follow-up with AI
A food truck’s customers can only come back if they know where you will be. AI can keep an opt-in list and tell people when you return to their neighborhood, and follow up with event hosts after a good night to book the next one. Only people who agreed to hear from you get messages.
Talk through your truck with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your food truck to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
Tell regulars where you will be
A customer who loved your birria on Tuesday at the office park wants to know next Tuesday. A short text or email on the morning of a visit, to those who asked, is the most useful message you can send.
Weather changes everything. If you cancel for rain, a text before people drive over is kind, and it protects your reputation.
Rebook the good events
A brewery that sold well on your night is likely to want you again. A message the next day, with the dates you have open, is easy to send and easy to say yes to.
Event hosts often tell you how many guests came. Note it, and use it when proposing the next date.
Stay inside the rules
Collect the contact with a clear sign-up, such as a QR code at the window, and make it easy to opt out. Texting without consent can break the law.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
A QR code at the window collects emails. On Thursday morning, followers within the area hear you are at the business park.
The morning after a wedding, the planner gets a thank-you and an invitation to refer you to the next couple.
A brewery manager gets a note offering two Fridays next month.
The rules that apply, in their own words
