Question 1

How can I really create perfect purchase orders in 30 seconds?

Accepted Answer

Our AI-powered system pre-fills all supplier details, suggests optimal quantities based on your sales data, and auto-formats everything correctly. You just select what you need from your connected inventory, choose quantities, and hit send. No more hunting through emails for supplier info or wondering about minimum orders - it's all automated and accurate.

Question 2

Which POS systems does LineNow integrate with?

Accepted Answer

LineNow connects seamlessly with Square, Toast, Clover, Shopify, QuickBooks, and most major POS systems. These integrations sync your sales data and inventory levels, so you can see exactly what you're selling versus what you're ordering. This eliminates the guesswork in purchasing decisions and prevents both overstocking and stockouts.

Question 3

How does LineNow help me manage supplier chaos?

Accepted Answer

Our AI reads all 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 and actionable, 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

Absolutely! LineNow works with ANY supplier, regardless of their technology. If they send emails, we can process them. If they use EDI, we connect. If they prefer phone orders, we track those too. Your suppliers don't need to change anything - LineNow adapts to however they prefer to communicate and organizes it all for you.

Question 5

How does inventory tracking actually work?

Accepted Answer

LineNow connects your POS sales data with your purchase orders to give you real-time visibility into what's moving and what isn't. You'll see which items are selling fast (need reordering), which are sitting (don't reorder), and get automatic suggestions for optimal order quantities. This eliminates the expensive guesswork that leads to waste or stockouts.

Question 6

What if I have multiple locations?

Accepted Answer

Our Business plan ($149/month) includes multi-location support, allowing you to manage inventory, suppliers, and orders across all your locations from one dashboard. You can see which locations need what items, transfer inventory between locations, and create location-specific purchase orders while maintaining centralized supplier relationships.

Question 7

How does LineNow prevent me from missing orders or deliveries?

Accepted Answer

Our AI automatically tracks every step of your orders - from confirmation to shipping to delivery. You'll get real-time updates without having to chase suppliers for status updates. If something's delayed or missing, you'll know immediately instead of discovering it when you run out of stock.

Question 8

Is the free plan really sufficient for my business?

Accepted Answer

The free Basic plan includes unlimited suppliers, unlimited ordering, and pricing history - perfect for smaller operations. Most restaurants and retail stores find this covers their core needs. The Professional plan ($0 with free trial, normally $49) adds inventory tracking and profitability reporting, which becomes valuable as you scale and want deeper insights.

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 bought, when prices changed, and which suppliers deliver on time. This data gives you leverage in negotiations and helps you identify which suppliers offer the best value.

Question 10

What about staff training and adoption?

Accepted Answer

LineNow is designed to be intuitive - if you can send an email, you can use LineNow. Staff can create purchase orders with just a few clicks, and the Professional plan includes up to 6 staff accounts. Most teams are productive within hours, not weeks. The platform works on mobile too, so staff can manage orders from anywhere.

Question 11

How does LineNow handle recipe costing and food costs?

Accepted Answer

For restaurants, LineNow tracks the cost of individual ingredients and can calculate recipe costs automatically when integrated with your POS. You'll see which menu items are most/least profitable and how ingredient price changes affect your margins. This helps you make informed decisions about menu pricing and portion sizes.

Question 12

Can I still maintain personal relationships with my suppliers?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! LineNow streamlines the administrative work but preserves your supplier relationships. You still communicate directly with suppliers - LineNow just organizes those communications and makes ordering faster. Many buyers find they actually improve relationships because they're not constantly calling for order status or missing important updates.
