Line Check AI
AI consulting for independent restaurants

AI that actually works on a Friday night rush.

Practical AI systems for scheduling, inventory, reviews and back-office busywork — built by an owner-operator who still runs restaurants, not a tech firm guessing at how kitchens work.

OWNER TIME SAVEDBACK ON YOUR SIDE

You didn't open a restaurant to spend Sunday night in spreadsheets.

01
Scheduling eats your weekend

Availability texts, call-outs and labor targets juggled by hand every week.

02
Food cost is a mystery until month-end

Vendor prices creep, and you find out after the P&L closes.

03
Reviews and socials go quiet

Nobody has time to reply, post or answer the same catering question again.

04
Everything lives in your head

Recipes, prep lists and training aren't written down, so you can't step off the floor.

What we set up

Systems your team will actually use.

We start with the tools you already have — your POS, payroll, Google and phone — and add AI only where it saves real hours.

Labor & scheduling

Draft schedules against sales forecasts and labor targets, handle swap requests and flag overtime before it happens.

Food cost & ordering

Scaled recipes, costed menus, par-based order drafts and alerts when a vendor price jumps.

Reviews, social & guest messages

On-brand review replies, a content calendar and instant answers to catering and hours questions.

Training & SOPs

Turn what's in your head into checklists, station guides and a training assistant new hires can ask anything.

Owner dashboards

Sales, labor and cost numbers from every location in one daily brief — so you can run it from the office, not the line.

Custom ops tools

When off-the-shelf won't cut it, we build a lightweight app around how your operation actually runs.

Christopher Stotts, founder of Line Check AI
Why us

Built by an operator, tested in real kitchens.

I own and run two Colorado food businesses — a scratch sandwich shop, bakery and ice cream concept with a food truck and catering arm, plus a frozen yogurt franchise. Every system we offer is something I built to get myself off the floor first.

Plain-English setup, no jargon and no long contracts
Works with independents, multi-unit owners and franchisees
Your staff gets trained, not just handed a login

Questions owners ask

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. If you can text and use your POS, you can run what we set up. We train you and your managers until it sticks.

Will this replace my staff?

The goal is taking paperwork off your managers' plates so they can lead shifts and take care of guests.

What POS and payroll systems do you work with?

We work hands-on with Toast, Square, Owner and Symphony for POS, and Gusto and QuickBooks for payroll and accounting. If yours isn't listed, ask — most have an export we can work from.

Do you work outside Colorado?

Yes. Everything can be done remotely, and on-site visits are available depending on location.

Get your nights back.
