Crunchtime Kitchen
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
What it is
Crunchtime Kitchen is a cloud-based kitchen display system for coordinating restaurant orders and kitchen workflows. It distributes orders in real time according to station capacity using dynamic load balancing. Staff can use line routing, bin management, ticket sequencing, rush preparation, and course timing to organize order preparation. Operators can view ticket times, station performance, and throughput across stations and locations. Crunchtime says Kitchen integrates with more than 80 POS systems and uses an API to pass orders from front-of-house systems to kitchen stations. The POS integration list is not comprehensive and excludes some proprietary, inactive, untested, or conditionally certified integrations. The product is configurable and intended to fit an existing technology stack. Crunchtime describes Kitchen as suited to multi-unit restaurants and foodservice operators, and says brands with fewer than 10 locations are not ideal. It is available on the web with dedicated displays, and the Android Kitchen Sync app supports prep tracking, recipe viewing, inventory updates, and purchasing alerts. Use of Crunchtime requires a subscription. The company says all its products receive SOC 2 Type 2 audits and describes annual penetration tests among its security practices. Pricing is available on request.
