Everything you need to know about Supy — from setup to integrations, pricing, and daily use. If it’s not covered here, just ask.

What are the main differences between Supy and CrunchTime?
+

CrunchTime is enterprise software built for America's largest QSR chains, spanning inventory, labour, ops, and training across separate modules. Supy is a modern inventory and procurement platform for global multi-branch restaurant groups - one platform that goes deeper on procurement automation, real-time cost visibility, and centralised control, and flexes to how your restaurants actually operate.

How does invoice processing compare between Supy and CrunchTime?
+

Supy uses AI to scan any invoice format at 96%+ accuracy, then auto-matches line items to POs and flags discrepancies - no manual review. CrunchTime uses OCR to digitise invoices, but matching and verification are still manual unless the supplier is on their EDI network.

Can I migrate my data from CrunchTime to Supy?
+

Yes. Supy's implementation team handles the full migration - recipes, suppliers, inventory items, and cost history - as part of onboarding. It typically takes days, not weeks, and is included at no extra charge.

How do procurement controls and approval workflows compare between Supy and Crunchtime?
+

Supy offers multi-stage approvals up to 5 levels, configurable by role, outlet, or order value, with per-branch spend limits and 200+ granular permissions. CrunchTime's approvals operate at the module level - active for all items or none, with no item-level controls.

How does onboarding and support differ between Supy and Crunchtime?
+

Supy goes live in 2 to 4 weeks with hands-on setup, data migration, and training included. After go-live, you get 24/7 support and unlimited training at no extra cost. CrunchTime implementations typically run 3 to 6 months, with a separate fee and an in-app learning centre for self-serve courses.

Why are restaurant groups switching from CrunchTime to Supy?
+

Speed to value, operational flexibility, and total cost of ownership. Groups want a platform they can deploy in weeks, not months. Ops teams want a system that flexes to their setup without submitting tickets. And finance leaders comparing all-in costs often find Supy's transparent pricing delivers better value for their scale.
