Craftable (formerly Bevager/Foodager) is a hospitality back-office platform for purchasing, inventory, recipe costing, POS-linked depletion, and beverage program management for restaurants, bars, and hotels. LineNow is a closed-loop procurement platform built around a living purchase order — the entire buying workflow stays connected, from POS-driven demand through supplier reply through receiving through accounting handoff.
Both tools handle restaurant purchasing. The difference is where each stops. Craftable's strongest specialty is beverage-program intelligence: vintage-aware wine inventory, allocation rules, and distributor rep management with multi-account relationships. LineNow's specialty is the procurement loop itself — not just recording what was ordered, but absorbing what the supplier said back, reconciling what was received, and handing accounting a cleaner payable before the invoice arrives.
TL;DR
| Craftable | LineNow | |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical | Restaurants + bars + hotels | Multi-vertical (restaurant + retail + dropship + manufacturer in one account) |
| Beverage-program specialization | Yes — vintage-aware wine, allocations, distributor reps | Basic (handled via standard inventory + recipes) |
| Closed-loop procurement control | No |
