Zenput was acquired by Crunchtime in 2022 and rebranded as Crunchtime Ops Execution. Here's how it compares to FoodSafe IQ for food safety specifically.
Crunchtime Ops Execution (formerly Zenput) is an operations-execution platform built for large, multi-location restaurant chains — centralized task management, digital checklists, audit assignments, and temperature monitoring, sold through an enterprise sales process. FoodSafe IQ is a narrower, food-safety-specific tool: AI reviews photos from the actual operation and flags violations automatically, with transparent published pricing instead of a custom enterprise quote. Crunchtime tends to fit large chains with a dedicated operations team already running enterprise software procurement; FoodSafe IQ tends to fit multi-unit operators who want to get a food-safety program running without an enterprise sales cycle.
| FoodSafe IQ | Crunchtime (Zenput) | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Food safety auditing & visual compliance | Operations execution — task management, audits, and checklists across large chains |
| Violation detection | AI reviews photographed zones — cooler, prep, dish, receiving — and flags violations automatically | Digital checklists, task assignments, and temperature monitoring |
| Corrective actions | Every violation gets an assigned owner, due date, and verification status | Handled through Crunchtime's general task and audit workflows |
| Pricing | Published: $79/location/month, with automatic volume discounts at 6+ locations | Not published — enterprise sales engagement required |
| Free trial | 14 days, no credit card required | Not publicly stated |
| Best for | Multi-unit operators (roughly 5–30 locations) who want inspection-readiness as the core workflow | Large quick-service and casual-dining chains with dedicated operations teams |
Crunchtime/Zenput details are compiled from public third-party sources — Crunchtime's own food safety page, Operandio, and Taqtics — as of September 2026, since Crunchtime does not publish pricing directly. Confirm current pricing and features with Crunchtime before deciding.
Crunchtime is built for chains that already have a procurement team evaluating operations-execution platforms. FoodSafe IQ skips that entirely — transparent per-location pricing, a 14-day trial with no credit card, and a product scoped to exactly one job: showing you what an inspector would see today, before they see it.
