name: Crunchtime
description: 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.

  name: Crunchtime Inventory & Labor API
  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).
