We're thrilled to announce our integration with Crunchtime, the leading restaurant operations platform trusted by thousands of restaurant brands. Together, Workstream and Crunchtime now offer a powerful end-to-end solution that helps restaurant operators simplify employee management, from hiring to scheduling to payroll.

Key benefits of the Workstream-Crunchtime integration

This new integration enables shared customers to:

  • Instant Data Sync: Automatically transfer new hire data from Workstream to Crunchtime in minutes, eliminating delays and discrepancies.

  • Zero Manual Entry: Say goodbye to tedious manual data entry, drastically reducing errors and freeing up valuable manager time for more strategic tasks.

  • Streamlined Payroll: Seamlessly import timesheets from Crunchtime directly into Workstream Payroll for faster, more accurate processing and reduced administrative burden.

Built for our shared customers

We're especially excited about this partnership because of the significant customer overlap between Workstream and Crunchtime, including many of the nation's most recognizable restaurant brands: Culver's, Dunkin, Zaxby's, and more. This integration allows us to create real, immediate value for operators by ensuring their core systems work better together.

"Crunchtime has been a trusted partner to many of the same brands we serve," said Desmond Lim, CEO of Workstream. β€œBy integrating our platforms, we're helping restaurant teams eliminate friction and focus on what they do best β€” running great restaurants and taking care of their teams."

A game changer for operators like Culver's

Culver's, one of the country's fastest-growing restaurant chains, has already seen the impact of this partnership.

"Being able to automatically sync employee data and timesheets has been a huge time-saver," said Derek Zabel, Multi-unit Culver's Owner/Operator. "Our managers no longer have to retype data into multiple systems β€” it's just there."

Before the integration, Culver's managers were spending hours each week jumping between systems, manually entering employee information and reconciling timesheets. Now, with data flowing seamlessly between Workstream and Crunchtime, the Culver's team can focus more on what matters β€” supporting their people and delivering great guest experiences.

"Workstream and Crunchtime together allow us to operate with confidence and consistency across locations," added Zabel. "It's one less thing for our teams to worry about."

Built for restaurants, together

This partnership is built with restaurant operators in mind. Whether you're using Crunchtime for labor scheduling and inventory or Workstream for hiring, onboarding, and payroll, this integration ensures your employee data stays accurate, in sync, and ready to go.

We're proud to work closely with Crunchtime to support the evolving needs of restaurant operators, and this is just the beginning.

Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information

Before we discuss the right to limit and the right to opt-out, we must first define personal information and how it relates to sensitive personal information.

Personal information is any data that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you or your household. A few examples of personal information include:

  • Name or nickname
  • Email address
  • Purchase history
  • Browsing history
  • Location data
  • Employment data
  • IP address
  • Profiles businesses create about you, including pseudonymous profiles (β€œuser1234”)
  • Sensitive personal information

Sensitive personal information or β€œSPI” is a subset of personal information, defined as:

  • Identifying information (e.g. social security number, driver’s license)
  • Financial data (e.g. debit or credit card numbers)
  • Precise geolocation (within a radius of 1,850 feet)
  • Demographic or protected-class information (e.g. race/ethnicity, religion, union membership)
  • Biometric and genetic data (e.g. fingerprints, palm scans, facial recognition)
  • Communications and content (e.g. mail, email, text messages)
  • Health and sexual orientation (e.g. vaccine records, health history)

Right to Opt-Out

Californians have the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of their personal information. That means you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties (e.g. data brokers, advertisers). You also have the right to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information to prevent the targeting of ads across different businesses, websites, apps, or services.

CCPA-covered businesses must provide a link to allow you to exercise this right. It is usually found at the bottom of a webpage and will say β€œdo not sell or share my personal information” or β€œyour privacy choices.” Sometimes businesses offer privacy choices through a pop-up window or form

To opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information, click on the link or use the toggle provided by the business and follow the directions. Doing this on every website you visit can feel burdensome, but to ease the burden you can automatically select your privacy preferences for every website by using an opt-out preference signal, or OOPS for short.

An OOPS is a user-friendly and straightforward way for consumers to automatically exercise their right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of their personal information with the businesses they interact with online. An OOPS, such as the Global Privacy Control. It can either be a setting on your internet browser or a browser extension. With an OOPS, consumers do not have to submit individual requests to opt-out of sale or sharing with each business.

Right to Limit

Californians also have the right to direct businesses to limit the use and disclosure of their sensitive personal information.

Businesses covered under the CCPA must provide a link on their website that allows you to request the limiting of your SPI, if they plan on using it in certain ways. That link will also typically be at the bottom of a webpage and will say: β€œlimit the use of my sensitive personal information” or β€œyour privacy choices.” Once you send this request, the business must stop using your SPI for anything other than to:

  • Provide requested goods or services
  • Ensure security and integrity
  • Prevent fraud
  • Maintain system functionality
  • Comply with legal obligations

Bringing it Together

In summary, the CCPA gives you the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and gives you additional rights to further limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information.

When you exercise these rights together, you exert greater control in protecting your personal data which is important for your identity, safety, and financial health.

If you are on a business’s website and you can’t find the links to exercise your rights, remember to check their privacy policy. The privacy policy should tell you how you can exercise your rights under the law.

If you find your rights being violated, you can submit a complaint to CalPrivacy.

Next in the LOCKED series, we will explore the right to correct and right to know. Follow us on social media to get live updates or check back in one week for the next post.
