## What is Crunchtime Host?

Deliver a 5-star experience with Crunchtime® Host (formerly ConnectSmart). This guest management solution is built for restaurants to create a safe and streamlined front-of-house that won’t minimize quality or guest satisfaction. Accessible data and a kitchen integration let you automatically communicate real-time status updates to guests for a smooth curbside process. Easily allow guests onto your waitlist or offer reservation booking capabilities while capturing guest data. In turn, you minimize crowds and monitor capacity limits by communicating directly with guests via 2-way SMS — no waiting or congregating. Manage your reservations in one central location without paying per guest. Take reservations effortlessly with customizable widgets and data insights to help you identify trends and opportunities. And most importantly, integrations let you leverage massive guest networks like Google and OpenTable to get your restaurant in front of hungry diners.
