Crunchtime Labor & Scheduling
What Crunchtime Labor & Scheduling is
Crunchtime Labor & Scheduling forecasts restaurant staffing needs and helps operators plan employee coverage for each shift. Its auto-scheduling draws on sales forecasts, staffing templates, employee skill levels and applicable labor laws to estimate staffing by role and time of day. Other listed tools include AI forecasting, shift feedback, real-time reporting, a time clock, tip management and compliance features. Administrators can configure supported U.S. labor laws by state and city, and set store-level labor rules, including limits on minors’ hours. A Labor Rule Audit records field-level edits to those rules.
Teamworx, the employee app, lets staff view shifts, manage availability, request time off, swap shifts and communicate with managers; using it requires a Crunchtime subscription. Crunchtime describes POS integrations that exchange schedules, employee details, menu and sales-mix data, and time punches, as well as two-way synchronization with HR and payroll systems. APIs for the Inventory & Labor platform can import setup data and export transactional and inventory data; access requires an access token. The service is available on web, iOS and Android. Pricing is discussed through a demo, and the demo page directs operators with 10 or more restaurant locations to contact Crunchtime.
