Labor & Scheduling

Optimize schedules and control labor costs

Staff every location optimally and achieve your labor cost goals

Schedule the right number of employees, every hour, of every shift. By accurately forecasting your labor needs, Crunchtime takes the guesstimating out of scheduling so you can solve the challenge of optimization and avoid over-or-under-staffing shifts. Smart optimization models help your managers understand how to best schedule teams and respond swiftly to fluctuations in demand.

Automatically create optimized schedules

Crunchtime automates the entire scheduling process to assign the right person, with the right skill level, saving your managers a significant amount of time and reducing errors. *2023 Restaurant Operations Report
