Crafty's Implementation Process
A step-by-step guide to launching your Crafty office kitchen and pantry program
Once you sign with Crafty, we guide you through a seamless 4-step onboarding process. Implementation begins after our internal Sales Transition and your team’s Kickoff meeting. This phase typically spans 4–12 weeks, depending on your office size, goals, and any necessary infrastructure upgrades.
What is the Crafty Implementation Process?
The Implementation Process is how we bring your Crafty program to life. It involves cross-functional collaboration, infrastructure reviews, equipment installs, and product finalization—all tailored to your space and team.
How does the Crafty Implementation Process create a better pantry experience?
Crafty's process ensures your program is fully customized, efficiently executed, and aligned with your team's preferences from the start. This careful planning creates a seamless, stocked, and ready-to-enjoy kitchen from day one.
