Some restaurant brands have a supernatural ability to connect the dots in their business. They're CrunchTime clients.
Our customer's operators can seamlessly work through back-of-house tasks and serve up flawless front-of-house executions. There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy here.

The easy-to-use Teamworx app has improved communications between restaurant managers and their staff. It remembers each team member’s login, and drops them right into their schedule so that they can review their hours, swap shifts with others, or simply talk to the managers.

I’m excited about the new technology that’s headed our way to make me more efficient and productive at my job. I love coming to their Control conference because it allows me to learn new ideas and best practices from my peers. Systems Analyst, Fuddruckers
I’ve been a Super User for five years and attending the Control conference is the best way to share ideas and best practices with other CrunchTime Users. CrunchTime is so adaptable to the unique needs of different brands that I always learn a new approach or technique during the conference and come back to work with a notepad full of new ideas.
Senior Financial Analyst, Biscuitville Fresh Southern
Now, we can see on a shift-by-shift, day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month basis how much product we’re using and cross it with how much we’re ordering and determine any kind of impact points that we might encounter. Our above-store users and multi-unit operators have the ability to drill down and identify which stores are really winning and which stores have operational challenges or concerns.
Labor and Inventory Systems Manager, Zaxby’s
We have better stock on-hand dollar amounts, we see better inventory variances on our products. CrunchTime has been a great partner for us. They are very communicative, talking with us each week, keeping track of what we need and how we can resolve it. And just making sure that we’re getting the best out of the program that we can. Systems Administration Manager, Zaxby’s
CrunchTime may never have on-boarded a brand as fast as it did for Macaroni Grill. The integrations were done at lightning speed with every restaurant up and running on the system in three months.

We’ve found that we’ve been able to shave significant dollar amounts on inventory and labor costs. Smarter decisions product-wise, inventory-wise, using ideal hours, we’re able to create tighter schedules and use less hours than we would have if we were just doing schedules manually. The resources that CrunchTime’s provided us, whether it be from a technical standpoint or a support standpoint, they’ve gone above and beyond with trying to help us.

Our cafe managers love the program – it’s easy to use, it’s intuitive for them so it makes them much more efficient. They have been able to fine tune their food cost variance in a very short period of time. Director of Food Cost System, Au Bon Pain
A true partnership, they are genuinely concerned with the customer satisfaction and development of the product based on customer input. Chief Information Officer, Au Bon Pain

Founder & CEO, NexDine
For each food item, the Actual vs. Theoretical variance should be within one point at Zinburger. Our restaurant managers have a variety of reports they can use to investigate food cost variances. We have the ability to count inventory as frequently as we want to see if the variance is happening all the time or if it can be narrowed down to specific days or shifts.
System Administrator, Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar – The Briad Group
We were committed to choosing a company and product that matched our “best in industry” niche, and the clear choice was CrunchTime.
President, Runza Restaurants
We’re based in Vancouver, Washington and have 42 locations. We use TeamworX for our scheduling, too. The big upgrade for us has been having the ability for our crew members to go online and put in their availability, put in their requests off, and things like that. It makes it so much easier to maintain, because it’s not on the manager to keep it all in their head, like ‘…Oh, this person needs these days off or that person needs those days off.’ Everything is simplified.
IT Systems Administrator, Burgerville
CrunchTime has met all challenges in our complex operating environment & has been a great International business partner.

Switching to CrunchTime was an immediate win. It’s so much easier to use and gives us much better data than our previous system. A big part of our comfort level came from our CrunchTime account manager. She’s responsible for a big part of our success with CrunchTime. Her knowledge of where everything is and her constant support, both day and night, makes her feel like part of the family. She makes our jobs a lot easier.
