Zenput AI

Zenput (now part of Crunchtime) is an operational execution platform for multi-location food service, convenience store, and retail businesses — providing digital task management, AI-powered compliance verification, and operational analytics for frontline team operations. Crunchtime acquired Zenput in 2023, combining Crunchtime's restaurant back-of-house management (inventory, labour, food cost) with Zenput's frontline operational execution capabilities. AI Compliance Verification analyses photo submissions from team members completing operational tasks — AI verifying whether photos of food displays, cleaning checklists, equipment checks, and store conditions actually show compliance rather than just submission. Photo-based verification addresses the fundamental limitation of paper checklists — Zenput's AI determines whether the submitted photo actually shows the required condition rather than just confirming a box was checked. Task Management provides digital checklists and operational routines for frontline teams — replacing paper checklists with mobile-app completion for food safety, opening/closing procedures, and brand standards. Corrective Action workflows trigger automatic responses when non-compliance is detected — routing alerts, creating action items, and escalating to managers for resolution. Operations Analytics provides compliance rate trends, location benchmarking, and operational performance visibility across multi-location organisations. With customers including Papa John's, CAVA, and Casey's, Zenput validates across pizza, fast casual, and convenience for multi-location operational excellence.
