What’s New in the Crunchtime Suite: June 2026

Every shift is filled with decisions that impact costs, service, and profitability. That's why this month's product updates are designed to help managers make smarter decisions in the moment. From proactively identifying labor cost variances to improving visibility across daily operations, these enhancements provide the insights and guidance teams need to stay one step ahead. The result is less time digging through data and switching between systems, and more time focused on delivering great guest experiences and running a profitable restaurant operation. 

This month, we launched new features to help you: 

• Catch unexpected price increases before they impact food costs 
• Automatically flag unintended labor spend and scheduling inefficiencies
• Assign tables faster with suggestions directly on the waitlist screen
• Easily assign follow up tasks to your store teams
• Spot low platform adoption before it becomes a problem

Here’s a Look at What’s New Across the Crunchtime Suite

Inventory

• • New Recommended Actions: Built-in alerts automatically flag dramatic price changes with your vendors, helping managers quickly spot discrepancies and take action before they impact costs. Learn how Recommended Actions work here. 

  • Edit Location Products from Corporate: Corporate administrators can now update location-level products directly from the corporate view in Enterprise Manager, eliminating the need to switch between locations.

Labor

• • New Recommended Actions: Built-in alerts help managers stay ahead of staffing issues by highlighting labor hour variances, unscheduled active employees, and patterns with employees who frequently decline or swap shifts. Learn how Recommended Actions work here. 

  • Enhancements to Staffing Level Templates: Staffing Level Templates are now more flexible and easy to configure with the ability to add new demand ranges anywhere within an existing template without rebuilding from scratch. To prevent gaps or overlaps, adjacent range bounds now auto-adjust (or prompt for adjustment).

  • Dark Mode Now Available in the Teamworx App: Users can now select Light, Dark, or System mode to match their preferences and reduce eye strain in low-light conditions.
