CrunchTime® and Jolt™ Software
Collaborations Allow the AccuDate XL to Play a Critical Role in
Food Safety Labeling and Back-of-House Operations
TransAct® Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TACT) (“TransAct” or
“the Company”), a global leader in software-driven technology and
printing solutions for high-growth markets, announced today that
the Company will demonstrate how its AccuDate™ XL restaurant
terminal dramatically improves food safety labeling accuracy and
overall back-of-house operations at FSTEC 2017, to be held on
September 17‐19, 2017 at the Anaheim Marriott (Booth #304) in
Anaheim, California. TransAct will also host a panel discussion at
FSTEC where the Company and several high-profile operators will
discuss how to leverage technology to improve food safety and
protect their customers and brands.
“In an environment where high-profile food safety incidents have
increased the pressure on restaurant and foodservice companies to
implement technology-enabled solutions and replace outdated
processes to protect their customers and brands, our AccuDate XL
has emerged as the industry’s platform of choice,” said Bart C.
Shuldman, Chairman and CEO of TransAct Technologies. “TransAct’s
AccuDate XL is an easy-to-use kitchen assistant that can quickly
handle food safety labeling and information distribution, while
helping operators of all sizes combat rising costs and lower
profits through the efficient management of their back of house
operations. In particular, we have cultivated an attractive
software ecosystem around the AccuDate XL by partnering with
leading software providers such CrunchTime Information Systems and
Jolt that will continue to extend the capabilities of our solution
to ensure that it always adapts to the changing needs of the
market. We look forward to visiting with current and potential
customers at FSTEC 2017 to demonstrate how the AccuDate XL can
transform their businesses.”
The revolutionary AccuDate XL restaurant technology solution
from TransAct is a rugged, splash resistant, Android-based terminal
that designed to function reliably in harsh kitchen environments.
It features an easy-to-read 9.7-inch LCD touch screen, a full range
of built-in connectivity options (including Ethernet, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and USB), and two easy-to-clean internal TransAct high
speed thermal label printers that offer a straight paper path for
simple loading. When used in conjunction with the powerful software
offerings provided by CrunchTime and Jolt, the AccuDate XL becomes
a hub for a wide range of operations-enhancing applications
associated with food safety, food prep, employee training and
operational efficiency.
KitchenSync Brings the AccuDate XL to CrunchTime-Based
Operations
Restaurant and foodservice operators that have deployed
CrunchTime Information Systems’ industry-leading back-office
restaurant management platform can add the AccuDate XL to their
kitchen operations through the new Android-based KitchenSync™ app.
Thanks to a partnership between TransAct and CrunchTime, the
AccuDate XL powered by KitchenSync is a fully integrated prep
planning and recipe display station that connects kitchen prep
functions with CrunchTime’s enterprise back-office platform,
delivering powerful features that incorporate sales forecasts,
intra-day POS transactions, and historical consumption patterns to
provide the restaurant team with the ability to review the day’s
prep plan, perform prep as required by the flow of the business and
print prep labels using the AccuDate XL. KitchenSync also updates
inventory levels that can trigger prep and purchasing alerts,
displays recipe information, preparation instructions, plating
instructions, recipe pictures, video, cost information, nutritional
information, and allergen information.

of revolutionary capabilities enabled by the combined AccuDate XL
and KitchenSync solution.
AccuDate XL + Jolt Now a More Powerful Connection
Through an innovative partnership between TransAct and Jolt, the
AccuDate XL is available with the Jolt for TransAct software
platform. Jolt for TransAct eliminates errors in date/code labeling
by automatically calculating the proper “sell by” and “use by”
dates and printing high quality, easy to read labels. Jolt for
TransAct also enables on-demand printing of grab ‘n go labels,
removing the need for restaurants to maintain inventory of
pre-printed labels. Introduced at FSTEC 2017, a powerful new
feature called the Information Library enables restaurant operators
to centrally manage and distribute training videos, recipe cards,
safety instructions, and more to AccuDate XL terminals in the
field. This new Information Library feature ensures that content is
always up to date and saves costs by eliminating print and ship
expenses for items such as recipe cards and videos. Jolt’s
cloud-based administration tools allow restaurant and food service
operators to centrally manage the menu items, label templates and
content stored in the Information Library, and enables operators to
then push that information to their terminals on a local, regional
or national basis.
Innovation Forum: Leveraging Technology to Protect Your
Customers and Brand
For the first time, TransAct will host one of the Innovation
Forum panel discussions for attendees visitng FSTEC. On Tuesday,
September 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. in room Platinum 3, Miguel
Ortiz, Director of Marketing, Restaurant Solutions at TransAct
Technologies will join a distinguished panel of restaurant owners
and franchise operators – including Bill Ford, Director of
Operations at Stewart Restaurant Group, David Pennant-Jones, Chief
Technical Officer of Paradigm Investment Group (a leading
franchisee of Hardee’s, Jersey Mike’s and Blaze Pizza restaurants)
and Emily Thompson, Director of Food Safety at Red Robin Gourment
Burgers – to discuss best practices in meeting and exceeding food
safety compliance and industry food labeling regulations. The

collect and leverage data to deliver a better dining
experience.
