Question 1

How does the 30-second purchase order actually work?

Accepted Answer

LineNow pre-fills all supplier details, suggests optimal quantities based on your live sales data and inventory levels, and formats everything correctly for that supplier. You review, adjust if needed, and send. No hunting through emails for supplier info, no guessing on minimum orders - it's all pulled in automatically.

Question 2

Which POS and sales platforms does LineNow integrate with?

Accepted Answer

LineNow connects with Square, Toast, Clover, Shopify, and Faire, with more integrations on the way. These sync your sales data and inventory levels so you can see exactly what you're selling versus what you're ordering - eliminating guesswork and preventing both overstocking and stockouts.

Question 3

How does LineNow help me manage supplier chaos?

Accepted Answer

Our AI reads your supplier emails and extracts orders, pricing updates, availability changes, and shipping confirmations into one organized dashboard. No more digging through hundreds of emails or missing critical updates. Everything is automatically categorized so you can see at a glance what needs your attention.

Question 4

Can I use LineNow with suppliers who don't have the platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes - LineNow works with any supplier regardless of their technology. If they send emails, we process them. If they prefer phone orders, we track those too. Your suppliers don't need to change anything about how they operate.

Question 5

How does inventory tracking work?

Accepted Answer

LineNow connects your POS sales data with your purchase orders to show you what's moving and what isn't. You'll see which items are selling fast and need reordering, which are sitting, and get automatic suggestions for optimal order quantities - cutting the guesswork that leads to waste or stockouts.

Question 6

Does multi-location support cost extra?

Accepted Answer

No - multi-location support is included in the standard $49/month plan. You can manage inventory, suppliers, and orders across all your locations from one dashboard, create location-specific purchase orders, and maintain centralized supplier relationships without paying more.

Question 7

How does LineNow prevent me from missing orders or deliveries?

Accepted Answer

LineNow automatically tracks every step of your orders from confirmation to delivery. You get updates without chasing suppliers for status. If something is delayed or wrong, you find out immediately - not when you run out of stock.

Question 8

What does the 90-day free trial include?

Accepted Answer

The trial gives you full access to everything - unlimited suppliers, unlimited ordering, inventory tracking, POS sync, reporting tools, multi-location support, and unlimited staff accounts. No credit card required to start. After 90 days it's $49/month, and most customers find they've recovered that cost many times over in time saved and ordering accuracy.

Question 9

How does LineNow help with supplier negotiations?

Accepted Answer

LineNow tracks all your pricing history, order volumes, and supplier performance automatically. When it's time to negotiate, you have concrete data showing exactly how much you've spent, when prices changed, and which suppliers deliver on time. That data gives you real leverage instead of going in blind.

Question 10

How long does it take to get up and running?

Accepted Answer

Most buyers are placing their first orders within an hour of signing up. You connect your POS, add your suppliers, and LineNow starts syncing your data immediately. The interface is built to be picked up without training - if you can send an email, you can use LineNow. It also works on mobile so your team can manage orders from anywhere.

Question 11

How does LineNow handle recipe costing and food costs?

Accepted Answer

For restaurants, LineNow tracks ingredient costs and calculates recipe costs automatically when integrated with your POS. You'll see which menu items are most profitable and how supplier price changes affect your margins - helping you make smarter decisions on pricing and portion sizes.

Question 12

Can I still maintain personal relationships with my suppliers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. LineNow handles the administrative side but your supplier relationships stay yours. You still communicate directly - LineNow just organizes those conversations and speeds up the ordering process. Most buyers find relationships actually improve because they stop missing updates or calling for status checks.
