In their own words
Lineup.ai
Lineup.ai provides restaurants with sales, labor, and menu-item forecasting alongside scheduling tools. Its sales forecasts use historical, weather, and local data to estimate demand by the hour; labor forecasts give staffing guidance for each location and shift. Managers can generate schedules automatically, use templates, or build them manually. Employees can view schedules, submit availability, request time off, and swap shifts in the mobile app. Reporting dashboards cover sales, labor demand compared with scheduled employees, and performance against labor targets. Restaurants can use forecasts without adopting the scheduling features. Listed integrations include Snowflake, Olo, Brink POS, Clover, Square, Toast, OpenTable, Tock, 7shifts, and UKG. Lineup.ai serves restaurant groups and operators including multi-location restaurants, franchises, quick-service restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops. The site says it is now part of the TimeForge suite of labor-management products. Forecasts cost $79 a month per location; forecasts plus scheduling cost $149 a month per location. There is no free plan, but a free trial is available.
