Lineup.ai's mobile app for employees enables team members to take control of their schedule. View your schedule, input your availability, and submit time off and shift swap requests from wherever, whenever. Submitting takes just a click from the app, and it's sent directly to the scheduling manager for approval. RELEASE AND PICK UP SHIFTS If you need to find someone to cover your shift, no problem! Simply release your upcoming shift to automatically notify employees who work in the same role. Then someone can offer to pick up your shift. Once a manager approves, both schedules will be updated automatically. REQUEST TIME OFF If you have a big event coming up and you want to make sure you aren’t scheduled, enter a time off request for an upcoming day, or even specific times. Once your manager approves your request, you will show up as unavailable to schedule. SUBMIT AND CHANGE YOUR AVAILABILITY There's no need to drop into work on your day off to pencil in when you can work or make changes to your general availability. Simply open the app and enter the time windows that work for you. Send it directly to the scheduling manager for approval with the click of a button. LEAVE DETAILED NOTES Customize your requests by leaving a note for your manager when submitting your schedule. Have a class on Wednesdays? Need this Saturday off because there's a comic book convention in town? Let Lineup.ai's mobile app be the messenger and provide documentation that won't be lost. VIEW YOUR SCHEDULE AND AVAILABILITY FROM ANYWHERE See what the scheduling manager sees, right in the palm of your hand. Never worry again if your text message was lost or a verbal request forgotten. RECEIVE REAL-TIME UPDATES Get notified via SMS or email when your requests are approved or denied, and new schedules are released. No more calling coworkers to check for you or stopping by on your day off. Have peace of mind knowing that you're on top of your schedule with the Lineup.ai mobile app. ABOUT LINEUP.AI Lineup.ai is an easy-to-use, automated restaurant forecasting software that harnesses the power of a cutting-edge artificial intelligence algorithm. Giving managers precisely what they need to make better decisions, improve efficiency, and increase profitability across their business. Lineup.ai customers reduce operating costs by 10% or more using machine learning software to predict demand and build profitable schedules. Employees stress less knowing they have the support they need for the busiest shifts, and they're less likely to get sent home or have a smaller share of the tip pool because of overstaffing. The employee app is free to download and use, but restaurants must sign up and use the software at lineup.ai for the mobile app to work for their team. Once the restaurant creates an account, they can add employees to the platform. The mobile app will then be fully functional, and employees can take advantage of its scheduling capabilities.
