Summary

Lineup.ai provides restaurant sales, labor, and menu-item forecasting alongside automated scheduling. Its sales forecasts draw on historical, weather, and local data to estimate demand by the hour. Labor forecasts guide staffing for each location and shift, helping managers plan around lower-sales periods. Scheduling can be generated automatically, built from templates, or created manually. Employees can use the mobile app to check schedules, submit availability, request time off, and swap shifts. Reporting dashboards show sales, labor demand compared with scheduled employees, and performance against labor targets. Restaurants can use sales forecasts without adopting the built-in scheduling features. Listed integrations include Snowflake, Olo, Brink POS, Clover, Square, Toast, OpenTable, Tock, 7shifts, and UKG. Lineup.ai says it is now part of the TimeForge suite of labor-management products. Pricing starts at 79.00 USD per month per location for forecasts, or 149.00 USD per month per location for forecasts and scheduling. There is no free plan, but a free trial is available.
