How To Forecast Restaurant Sales With Lineup.ai

View real-time forecasts from your dashboard.

HOW IT WORKS

How To Create Optimized Schedules

Build your schedule based on the allowance.

Your daily forecasts generate a clear labor allowance you can use for scheduling. You can build a schedule from scratch, copy and edit one from last week, or use any saved templates. The progress bar fills up as you add shifts until you’ve met the goal.

Lineup.ai Makes Scheduling Better For Employees, Too

Employees can submit their availability and see their upcoming shifts all within the Lineup.ai mobile app. Team members who opt in will get a text or email notification when a new schedule is posted, changes are made, or shifts become available.

We’re Always Here To Help

Our Lineup.ai team assists you from initial onboarding through day-to-day forecasting. We integrate your POS, validate employee data, get your team up-to-speed, grant employees different access levels, and more. By ensuring the data going into our artificial intelligence model is as accurate as possible from the beginning, we can be confident your sales forecasts and labor allowances are the best they can be.

“From my experience in the industry, the only word you know is labor, labor, labor. One thing I really enjoy doing is setting a targeted labor percentage. Once or twice a week, I go into Lineup.ai and tweak it. I’m always trying to find the perfect balance of hitting labor goals and ensuring we have great quality shifts. Sometimes I’ll raise it to counter slow sales ... from there, I can just hand off to our general managers to create the schedules with those percentages already set.”
