JuiceLand deploys tech to cut inventory costs, ease labor pains

February 4, 2020

JuiceLand said today it has deployed food and labor management technology across its 34 stores in an effort to get a better understanding of purchasing and inventory across the chain and at individual store level. In a news release from the platform's provider, CrunchTime! Information Systems, Inc. said the move is being made to boost efficiencies across the chain. 

JuiceLand serves more than 12,000 patrons daily in Texas, according to CrunchTime, with everything from vegetable juices to superfood smoothies. The tool will help the brand track inventory in real time, while providing a demand-based analytics engine that projects food production schedules based on sales forecasts and historical consumption patterns. 

"CrunchTime gives us a powerful solution to create more automation and integration for our back-of-house operations, allowing our teams to focus on serving and engaging our guests," Hazel Mahoney, Information Systems director at Juiceland, said in the release. "With more accurate and real-time information, we see opportunities to optimize scheduling and reduce food costs." 

CrunchTime provides JuiceLand with real-time tracking of all inventory items plus a demand-based analytics engine that projects food production schedules based on powerful sales forecasts and historical consumption patterns. As a result, JuiceLand can maintain a lower inventory with only the freshest ingredients, which translates to lower food costs and higher profits.

The brand also launched another CrunchTime capability with mobile scheduling to help workers swap and pick up shifts as they are able while creating reports for managers.
