CurbsideOps

CurbsideOps is business management software for food truck and mobile catering operators. It keeps their bookings, crew, trucks, leads, customer messages, menus, sales and social posts in one place. Connect it to ChatGPT to see what needs your attention in your business and act on it without opening CurbsideOps.

Ask what is waiting today, which bookings are running late, where each truck is and how far it is from its next stop, which leads and customer texts need an answer, and how sales went. Look back over any period: every event you worked last October, this year against last year by brand, customer or place, a customer’s history with you, who booked last season and has not come back, prospects near you and the open time on your trucks. It can also read the money owed on invoices, proposals, reviews, crew availability, permits, Pre-Pay Orders and givebacks. A ChatGPT dot can check in on its own and tell you what changed.

With your go-ahead it can also: add follow-ups and notes, create and update leads, draft a reply to a customer text, mark menu items sold out or featured, change a price, reply to a customer, book a lead, draft and send its proposal, make and publish social posts, and start a prospect search. Each of these is off until you turn it on in CurbsideOps under Settings > AI assistants, and anything that reaches a customer, goes public or changes a price shows you a preview and waits for your yes.

The assistant sees what you see in CurbsideOps and nothing more: managers stay managers. It never receives customer phone numbers, email addresses or the content of your emails, and you can disconnect it at any time from Settings.
