Holidays can be one of the most unpredictable—and profitable—times for restaurants. From fluctuating foot traffic to spikes in takeout and catering, every holiday comes with its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. But with the right data, it doesn’t have to be a guessing game.
No more guesswork around major holidays
To help restaurants plan for demand more accurately around special dates, Crunchtime’s AI forecasting algorithm now analyzes U.S. holiday data as a key input for predicting customer demand. That means your restaurant can plan ahead for spikes or slowdowns in traffic with greater accuracy.

Instead of relying on manual estimates or last year’s trends alone, Crunchtime's forecasting machine leverages a variety of data points, including historical sales data, the upcoming weather forecast, and now holiday-specific data, to fine-tune the forecast.
The result? More accurate staffing, smarter prep, and better inventory ordering throughout the year.
