Introducing Crunchtime Insights (BizIQ+ just got some major upgrades!)

For multi-unit restaurant groups, getting a clear picture of what’s happening across all locations can feel like an impossible puzzle. Sales, inventory, labor, audits, and task management often live in separate systems, creating data silos that make it difficult to understand the true drivers of performance.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Crunchtime Insights (formerly known as BizIQ+), an analytics and data visualization solution designed to shatter those silos and provide a source of truth for restaurant chains.

Connect the Dots for Smarter Decisions

Crunchtime Insights is all about bringing together data elements. It allows Crunchtime customers to centralize, correlate, and analyze operational data from multiple sources, giving you a complete, holistic view of your operation’s health.

Imagine being able to instantly answer questions like:

• How does a change in food safety task completion rates impact overall sales for a location?
• Do locations with higher audit scores experience a corresponding increase in sales over time?
• Does the adoption of employee-facing task management technology positively affect employee retention?
• Are stores using automated temperature monitoring technology seeing less food waste?

By combining data from POS, inventory, labor, task and project completions (via Zenput), and audit systems, Crunchtime Insights makes answering these complex, high-impact questions possible. This ability to instantly identify and investigate operational challenges is what allows operators to make truly informed and effective decisions.

Analytics at Scale, Without the Data Science Team

One of the biggest advantages of Crunchtime Insights is its ability to help brands scale their data infrastructure without needing a full data science team. It eliminates the need for manual exports and fragmented systems.

 ”Previously, we had to manually add data together from two platforms to analyze labor correctly.  Crunchtime Insights allows us to build reporting that combines all data (sales, labor, COGs) into one format and accurately report on various KPIs,” said Dennis Ogaard Sr. Manager of Operations at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. “Over the last 22 months, we have seen significant improvements in our COGs and Labor performance.”

Constantly Innovating To Bring You More Insights

We recently launched some new and exciting features, and it’s only the start. We’re working towards bringing even more data sets, like kitchen throughput data and training, and features to give you more insight into your operations. 

• Unified Metrics View: Get a complete snapshot of your operational health. Pre-built report templates automatically pull data from multiple sources, including key metrics like sales, food cost, and labor cost. All into a single, easy-to-read dashboard.
• Leaderboard Views for Corporate Leaders: Corporate and above-store users can easily access dashboards and leaderboards to instantly compare performance across stores and regions. You can instantly see trends across your entire business and pinpoint exactly where action is needed.
• Task Completion Data from Zenput: For customers using Zenput, you can now add this task completion data to your Insights subscription for advanced reporting. For example, you can combine Zenput and POS data to look at how a specific operational change, like using automated temp monitoring, impacts food costs in a store.

"Crunchtime Insights lets our customers easily analyze operational performance at scale from every level of the organization," said Brian Herr, Senior Vice President of Product for Crunchtime. "By correlating data across systems, they can discover new insights to understand the drivers of over- and under-performance to further hone operational excellence across all of their locations."
