Supy is a restaurant back-of-house suite built around process: requisitions, approvals, permission matrices, and a quoted implementation before the system starts working. LineNow is closed-loop procurement built around inference: connect the POS you already run and the supplier loop starts running — one location or a multi-site group, same flat price.
The difference between these two products is not company size. It is operating model. Supy asks the operation to adopt Supy's process — counts, requisitions, approval chains, cost centers — and prices it per location, "from $250/month," with a 2–4 week implementation. LineNow works the other way around: inventory-based ordering starts from your actual sales, living purchase orders absorb supplier replies, receiving reconciles against the supplier-confirmed state, and QuickBooks/Xero get clean numbers — from day one, at $100/month per business unit, every location in one account.
