Cut Food Costs,not food waste, stockouts, or guesswork.
Whether you run a restaurant, cafe, bakery, bar, or food-service group, your POS already knows what you sold. LineNow turns that into what to order, keeps supplier changes attached to the PO, and gives receiving and accounting the same food-cost context.
- POS-synced ingredient depletion with every sale
- Recipe costing that updates when supplier prices change
- Instant visibility into your most and least profitable dishes
- Auto-generate POs when ingredients hit par levels
- Order from all your suppliers in one place
- Supplier replies stay connected to receiving and food cost
- Track theoretical vs actual usage to spot waste and theft
- Receiving verification so invoices match what arrived
- Food cost reports that update automatically, no spreadsheets

The LineNow team is extremely pro-active about your success with PO and inventory-aware ordering. We researched many PO and inventory apps, and most were cookie cutter.

Juggling phone calls, texts, and emails with a dozen vendors. Orders get lost, deliveries get missed, and nobody knows who ordered what.Manual Inventory Counts
Walking the cooler with a clipboard at midnight. Counts are wrong by the time you finish, and nobody trusts the numbers anyway.See your real food costs in 10 minutes
