Events and rental: AI enquiry assistant for food truck operators
An AI enquiry assistant for food truck operators that answers questions about menu variants, allergens, power and booking terms from approved information and passes anything uncertain to a person.
Which questions food truck operators keep getting.
In season, food truck operators field a stream of questions from people thinking about booking. Do you have a vegetarian version? Can it be gluten-free? What power does the truck need? How long do you stay? Can children have a smaller portion? The owner is often in the truck and can only answer in the evening, while the client is also contacting other trucks. Many questions are general and already covered by the menu or terms. Others, such as whether a dish is safe for someone with a severe allergy, should only be answered by a person who knows the recipes and how the truck kitchen works.

Recognise the question
The assistant recognises whether a question is general, such as which dishes are vegetarian, or personal and sensitive, such as whether a guest with a nut allergy can eat safely. General questions it answers from the sources. For severe allergies, a specific booking or a price question it always offers a handover.
Answer or pass on
An answer points to its source, such as the allergen list. When in doubt, for an exception or a question touching on health, the assistant passes the question with the conversation to you and tells the client you will be in touch personally. It never promises availability, price or safety for an individual guest.
On your own information, with a person behind it.
The assistant runs on your website or in the customer portal, alongside your phone number, email and social media. It only uses content you maintain, such as the menu, the allergen list and a page about what the truck needs. When a recipe or supplier changes, you update the allergen list and it applies immediately. Questions passed on reach your inbox or message overview with the whole conversation attached.
Answer allergen questions or always hand over
An assistant answering from the approved allergen list helps visitors quickly. But a list says nothing about cross-contamination in a small truck kitchen. A safe approach is to give general allergen information and hand every question about a severe allergy or a specific guest to a person who can judge it properly.
Explain variants or let clients choose
The assistant can explain which variants exist, such as vegetarian, vegan or a children's portion. Letting a client choose and recording it belongs in the customer portal, where it is tied to a booking. Keep the assistant to giving information, and record choices through the booking itself.
Maintain through the season or set once
An assistant set up once goes stale when the menu changes each season. Plan a moment to update the sources at every menu change. The overview of questions passed on helps: it shows which questions suddenly come up more often after the menu has changed, pointing to gaps in the sources.

From sources you approve, the assistant answers questions on menu variants, general allergen information, what the truck needs and how booking works. The rest it passes on. Together we ask it an ordinary question about vegetarian options, and a question about a guest with a severe nut allergy, which must always end up with you. Details from the client's own booking inside the portal can be switched on later.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan the assistant take a booking?
No. It gives information and points to the enquiry form or passes the question on. It does not confirm dates or quote a price for an event. A booking always goes through you or the form, so nothing is promised that you have not checked.
What does it say about a severe allergy?
At most it gives the general allergen information from the approved list and says you will be in touch personally. It then passes the question on. Whether a dish is safe for a specific guest is your judgement, because you know the recipes and the way the truck kitchen works.
How do we keep information current with a new menu?
You update the menu and allergen list in the same place the assistant reads from. From then on it answers with the new details. Old menus are removed from the sources, so the assistant never mentions dishes you no longer serve.
Can we see which questions get passed on often?
Yes. Every question passed on is stored with the reason, such as no source, a specific booking or an allergy question. You can see whether an extra approved text would help or whether those questions belong with a person.
