Now in private beta

The one place your restaurant team goes to run the night.

My Daily Lineup is one platform that covers the whole restaurant day — guest side and team side — at a price an independent operator can afford to pay. Built by a working chef-owner, not enterprise sales — a total operations platform you can’t afford not to run.

It’s your reservations app, event-sales app, scheduling app, time clock, costing app, inventory app, messaging app, bookkeeping app, and social-media manager — all in one login.

Never pay someone else for the reservations you take.

No per-cover fees, no middleman between you and your guests — your bookings, your data, your tables.

Already running every shift across four Kansas City venues — plus independent restaurants beyond Belfry.

Why it exists

Most independent restaurants run on three to five tools that don’t talk to each other — one app for reservations, another for scheduling, a group chat for shift notes, a folder for recipes, a shoebox for vendor invoices. The owner or GM becomes the integration layer, and that’s expensive.

There isn’t really an all-in-one to fix it — so restaurants stack point solutions, and the bill climbs fast. Just two of them — a back-office platform like MarginEdge or Restaurant365 plus a reservations app — can cost more every month than this entire platform does, while covering only two of the things My Daily Lineup actually does. My Daily Lineup is the opposite: one login, one database, built by an operator who lives in it every shift.

What’s inside

Guest experience Reservations, waitlists, group events, deposits, smart time-nudging, celebration detection, day-of reminders, no-show follow-up.
Tonight + team ops Real-time covers and dietary notes, role-based access, team notes and team feed, lineup SMS and push notifications, dashboard tasks, internal alerts.
Scheduling + labor Staff scheduling, a time clock with manager review, an open-shift board and shift swaps, per-role pay rates, tip pool, and pay-period summaries.
Recipes + inventory Cocktail and culinary recipes with cost calculation, bottle and food inventory with counts, daily specials, beer purchasing.
Social media posts Add a daily special or photo → AI drafts an Instagram and Facebook caption in your voice, with hashtags. You review and tap post — promote tonight’s specials and events without a separate social tool.
Back office + accounting Snap any vendor invoice → AI codes each line to your chart of accounts and pushes it to QuickBooks or Restaurant365; Toast and Square sales + labor sync; a bookkeeper invoice email; and read-only access for your accountant or investors.
Email marketing Build and send branded email campaigns to your guests — specials, events, “we miss you” win-backs — with drag-to-arrange content blocks, straight from the database that already knows their visit history. Opt-in and unsubscribe handled for you.
Guest growth + promotions Run guest promotions and challenges — guests log their visits or pours to earn points and tiers, with a tasting guide to play along. Plus staff digital business cards with one-tap perks to hand out, and automatic post-visit thank-you and Google-review requests. Turn a good night into a repeat guest.

Not theoretical

My Daily Lineup runs all four Belfry Collective venues — reservations, recipes, scheduling, inventory, the whole day — every shift since early 2026, and it’s now live at independent restaurants beyond Belfry. It was built by Celina Tio — James Beard Award winner and Top Chef Masters alum — because nothing on the market did what a working operator actually needed at a price a small restaurant could afford.

Who it’s for

A fit

Independent restaurants, 1–6 locations
Chef- or owner-operators who are the de-facto IT department
Teams stitched together with spreadsheets and group chats
Operators who’d rather spend on the food than the software

Not a fit

National or franchised chains with a corporate IT team
Pop-ups that only need a simple RSVP form (use Resy)
Anyone shopping for a POS — My Daily Lineup isn’t one; it works alongside the Toast or Square POS you already run.

What it costs

Less than what most restaurants already pay every month for just one or two of the apps it replaces — and with no per-cover fees skimming the reservations you take. One platform, one bill, instead of a stack of single-purpose subscriptions.
