Crafty Earns Third Inc. 5000 Ranking, Debuts Workplace Pantry Benchmark Built From a Decade of Real Operations Data

Crafty Earns Spot on 2026 Inc 5000 List

CHICAGO, IL — August 11, 2026 — Crafty today announced it has been ranked No. 2,952 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual ranking of America's fastest-growing private companies. The company has simultaneously unveiled the Crafty Pantry Intelligence Index, the industry's first interactive benchmark built from real workplace pantry data. 

The ranking marks Crafty's third Inc. 5000 appearance (2023, 2025, and 2026), and up 249 spots from the last time they appeared on the list. Reflecting 104% three-year revenue growth and continued leadership in redefining how organizations manage workplace food and beverage.

For decades, workplace food and beverage programs were managed with little visibility, limited technology, and almost no industry benchmarks. While companies invested heavily in creating workplaces employees wanted to return to, they lacked the data to understand how their programs compared, where budgets could be optimized, or what employees actually valued.

Crafty was built to change that.

Over the last decade, the company has intentionally built a platform that combines technology, national operations, and data into a single solution for workplace teams. Today, Crafty supports 750+ office locations across 45+ US markets helping organizations transform workplace F&B from an operational necessity into a strategic driver of employee experience.

Each client partnership refined Crafty's service model. Each market expansion deepened its operational network. Each investment in technology compounded into a platform that now sets the standard as an operating system for workplace food and beverage, and one of the industry's richest datasets on how employees consume food and beverages at work.

"From the beginning, we made a deliberate decision to build the infrastructure this category was missing, not just a service, but a platform with real operational depth, proprietary data, and technology that compounds over time," said Nate Rosenstock, Founder and CEO of Crafty. 

"Every workplace we serve makes our platform smarter. Every client deepens our understanding of how food and beverage shapes employee experience. That's a key strategy, not an accident. Being recognized by Inc. for the third time is validation that building for the long term, and building the right things for our clients, is how you lead a category."

That compounding investment reached a defining milestone this year with the launch of the Crafty Pantry Intelligence Index, now available now at: https://www.craftydelivers.com/pantry-intelligence-index 

For years, workplace leaders have asked questions that no one could answer:

• How does our pantry budget compare to similar companies?
• What products are trending in our city?
• Are we spending too much, or too little?
• How do companies like ours build successful pantry programs?

Until now, there was no public source for those answers.

Built from anonymized data across hundreds of Crafty-powered workplace programs, the Pantry Intelligence Index gives workplace leaders the ability to benchmark spending, category performance, and product trends by market, industry, and company size providing a level of visibility that has never existed in the category.

The Index is more than a tool launch. It represents the next chapter of Crafty's platform strategy: transforming a decade of operational expertise into actionable intelligence that helps organizations build better employee experiences while making smarter business decisions.

As companies continue redefining the role of the workplace, Crafty remains focused on building the technology, insights, and operational excellence that power exceptional experiences at scale. Through continued investment in AI and data intelligence, the company is actively defining what comes next for the category.

The 2026 Inc. 5000 recognizes companies that have achieved exceptional revenue growth while driving innovation and creating lasting economic impact across the United States.
