Key Features

Lineup.ai’s item-level forecasting

Lineup.ai’s powerful restaurant forecasting projects expected sales so you can manage inventory and production down to specific menu items and ingredients. Stay ahead of demand at your busiest times and avoid over-producing during quieter shifts.

Accurate menu item forecasting for restaurants

Better predict restaurant sales using your own sales history combined with relevant external factors, such as seasonal trends, weather factors, nearby events, and more. Our machine learning software takes in a number of variables and is continually learning for even greater accuracy.

Detailed demand forecasting

As variables change, so do your sales, labor, and inventory projections. Lineup.ai adjusts in real-time, so the data you use to predict demand and labor costs, and manage inventory is always up-to-date. If an event gets canceled or a new promotion starts, your Lineup.ai dashboard will reflect that.
