Smarter sensor updates for Crunchtime Temp Monitoring
We’ve updated the sensor status table in Crunchtime Temp Monitoring to make it easier to quickly identify offline or underperforming sensors.
Sensors are now grouped by status, with online sensors displayed first, followed by offline and disabled sensors. Gateways will appear after sensors within each status category for a more organized view.
Calculate ingredient expiration dates based on time
Crunchtime Labels customers can now set more precise ingredient expiration dates using both date and time-based calculations.
New options within the Calculated Date expiration setting allow users to configure expiration timing by hours or minutes.
To use this feature, navigate to Ingredients and select Edit. Under Expiration Date Configuration, scroll to Type and choose Calculated Date. From there, use the dropdown menu to select minutes or hours and enter the desired expiration settings.
Built-in training for better execution
With Ops Execution’s new just-in-time training, you can attach quick how-to videos or images to any form field so teams can follow the right process every time - no extra training required.
The system supports any file up to 100MB.

Assign follow-up actions for any checklist, any shift
Follow-up actions let store leaders address issues found during reviews instantly. Follow-ups link directly to original tasks and checks to create a closed feedback loop that drives true operational improvement.
Here’s what you need to know about how follow-up actions work:
- Add follow-up actions to any task, photo, form, or project
- Use follow-up actions to flag specific issues or as a tool to coach underperforming stores
- Include instructional photos to guide issue resolution
- Assign follow-ups actions directly to a specific role and store location with specific deadline to ensure the issue is fixed correctly
- Easily track the status of each follow-up action under “tasks” in the main Ops Execution menu

New: Transform your reporting with two brand-new data products
Zenput is entering a new era in data and analytics capabilities with the introduction of Crunchtime Insights and Crunchtime Data Streaming.
What’s Crunchtime Insights?
Gain deeper insights from your data with Crunchtime Insights, a data visualization and analysis tool. With Crunchtime Insights, you don’t need a dedicated analytics team to get more insights from your data.
This tool has a dedicated Task & Projects Completion template that makes it easy to get started analyzing your data. Plus, data can be easily customized and cut so you can quickly and easily see what’s happening in your operation.
What’s Crunchtime Data Streaming?
Crunchtime Data Streaming lets you access your raw Zenput data in one place where it can be easily pulled into your preferred BI tools and combined with non-Crunchtime data for deeper insight into your operational performance.
Crunchtime streams all business-relevant data to your Snowflake warehouse. Zenput customers interested in Data Streaming will need:
- Their own Snowflake warehouse
- A tech team able to support the warehouse and its upkeep
To learn more about what these two data products can do for your organization, reach out to Customer Success.

New: Set your temperature preference by user
You can now choose your temperature scale – Fahrenheit or Celsius – right in Zenput.
This new feature has two big perks:
- Users who work in a location with a different local temperature scale will be able to more easily capture food and fridge temps with no conversion needed.
- Users will also be able to view all recorded temperatures in their preferred temperature scale, even if the data was originally recorded in a different scale.
How to set up your temperature preference
This new feature is a user setting. Navigate to your profile settings – Temperature Units – and choose Fahrenheit or Celsius.

New: API endpoints for calendar events
- Retrieve Company's Calendar Events - Retrieve all calendar events that are available in a company.
- Retrieve Location's Calendar Events - Retrieve all calendar events that are available in a location.
- Update Location's Calendar Events - Update hours associated with calendar events.
If a calendar event already exists at a location, the update endpoint above can be used to adjust the time. This makes it much easier for teams with frequently changing hours to update calendar events automatically through the API instead of manually

New: AI chat bot for improved support
You can now get answers faster with our new AI-powered chat bot, available directly in Zenput. Ask a question, and the bot will suggest helpful steps and Knowledge Base articles. The chat bot doesn’t replace our support staff. If you need more help, select “No, I need more help”. This will open a request form so you can submit a support chat request like you normally would. Your data stays private – the bot only uses our Knowledge Base (not your Crunchtime data).

New: FBC assignment from UI
FBC (Franchise Business Coach) support is now live in multiple parts of the Zenput web app – a major step forward for brand-wide customers. You can now filter locations by assigned FBCs, and brand submissions by FBCs. You can assign FBCs to locations in three ways:
- Manual assignment in the UI (individually or in bulk)
- CSV import with a preview of changes before they’re applied
- API access with both simple and advanced bulk assignment options

Hello all!
We have introduced Role-Based Projects, allowing tasks to be assigned directly to users based on their roles, independent of location. This ensures that the right individuals receive and complete tasks, no matter where they are assigned.

We have implemented the ability for reporting companies to archive shared forms if the managing company has already archived them (as long as no active projects are using them). This helps keep things clean and makes it easier to find the right forms when you need them.
