  Crunchtime (CrunchTime! Information Systems) is an AI-powered restaurant operations
  management platform used by 850+ multi-unit restaurant brands across 150,000+
  locations to run inventory and food-cost control, labor and scheduling, operations
  execution (tasks, audits, temperature and food-prep labeling), kitchen display
  (KDS), guest/host-stand management, learning & development, and operational
  intelligence (Crunchtime Insights and Data Streaming). For integrators, Crunchtime
  publishes the Inventory & Labor developer hub — a REST/JSON API of 150+ operations
  (employees, locations, budgets, recipes, purchase orders, inventory counts,
  schedules, sales/menu-mix and more) served from the net-chef.com web services,
  authenticated with per-environment API tokens plus a site name and application
  user. The company merged with QSR Automations to cover the full restaurant food
  lifecycle and is a Battery Ventures portfolio company.

  description: >-
    The Crunchtime Inventory & Labor API is a REST/JSON web-services API for
    integrating restaurant back-office data with the Crunchtime platform. It exposes
    150+ operations organized by functional area — Employees/Locations/Users,
    Financial Operations, Inventory, Labor & scheduling, Point-of-Sale / Sales
    (menu mix), Vendors/Purchasing, and other services — each following a
    get-all / get-by-page / save pattern. Requests are authenticated with a
    per-environment authentication token together with the customer site name,
    application user id and password, and are served from the net-chef.com web
    services host (separate test and production hosts).
