How does ClearCOGS compare to Lineup.ai?

Lineup.ai, now part of TimeForge, starts from sales: it forecasts sales by hour, day, and week and builds labor schedules around those numbers. ClearCOGS starts from the kitchen: it forecasts item and ingredient demand and tells you what to prep, order, and build your schedule. Both draw on sales history, weather, and local events.

The ClearCOGS solution: A sales forecast tells you how busy you will be; it does not tell the kitchen how much chicken to thaw or bread to bake. ClearCOGS forecasts by item and ingredient, separates catering from walk-in demand, and delivers answers in pans, packs and eaches. ClearCOGS forecast models work so well for prep, we've built a labor forecasting tool too. 

Using both: An operator that schedules in Lineup.ai can use ClearCOGS for prep and ordering.
