What Lineup.ai is
Forecasting software for restaurant labour. It predicts customer flow and sales, then helps build a schedule that matches, so staffing is not guesswork.
It is aimed at operators with variable demand and hourly staff.
What you can do with it
- Forecast sales and customer demand
- Build schedules from those forecasts
- Reduce over and under staffing
- Compare forecasts against actuals
- Plan labour across several locations
- Adjust for events and holidays
Who it is for
- Restaurant owners and operators
- Regional managers

- Hospitality groups with multiple sites
What to watch out for
- Forecasts are only as good as historical data, and holidays or events throw them off
- Scheduling decisions affect people's hours and income, so check predictive scheduling and fair workweek rules where they apply
- Staff data is personal data and needs appropriate access control
- Managers must retain the ability to override the schedule
