We got introduced to Jolt, not too long ago. I was trained how to create lists, view reports, etc. I have created a couple of lists to help with our company. One is High Risk Checklist which helps the restaurants reassure that they are ready food FS ! I have recently created the FAST Assessment checklist to help improve Speed of Service at those locations that are extreme outliers. While creating these checklist, I have contacted Sadie and she is quick to jump on call and support in any way! I like the fact that I know if I make a mistake, we can reach out and Sadie will help!
- Reporting
- Notifications
- Sometimes the app freezes
- sometimes it doesn't sync correctly from the device where the checklist was done so on reporting side, it seems as if it wasn't completed.

We use live time cooler monitoring, Time Scheduling and Task Management.
Last night before closing I got a warning that the UT Wing Cooler was running warm, I was able to have the guys move 10 cases of chicken wings out of this cooler before they left. In the morning the wing cooler is not operational and we were able to save all that product. Thank you Jolt!

Excellent Product
We use it across our whole organization. It helps with inventory, coaching, reviews, and other tasks. We use Jolt several times a day, and it is a great tool for us to track and communicate throughout the company. Jolt has increased productivity by allowing us to transmit information quickly and remotely. It is easy to create and review information. I love the customization that it offers. In my opinion, Jolt would be useful to small and larger businesses.

Jolt is Cool
First of all, Jolt has many features included but my job consists of using only a couple of them. In the Aquatics Department, we use the Schedule Manager on a weekly basis to accurately organize and distribute an employee schedule to roughly 180 lifeguards at my facility. It's good to see we have a set price for that many employees, where the price does not increase the more employees you have. In addition to that, we are able to assign employees to roles and separate their schedules by certain levels when scheduling. We also use the Lists function to knock out checklists and documentation DOSH and OSHA require on a daily basis. It is a fast and easy way to complete these forms with multiple ways to fill them out.
- Scheduling
- Checklists
- Proper Documentation
- Roles
- Can use for a large amount of employees.
- Can be laggy
- Looks like it was designed for older technology, but those are only looks.

Easy peezy!
We use it within the Operations department. Scheduling a mix of part-time and full-time with a constantly flexible workforce has proven invaluable. It allows visibility for the whole team, who is on shifts and working together at the same time or when someone is not on shift. And visible on many devices.
- Access to the schedule across many devices
- Automatic updates to the team
- Flexibility to add as many variations to job functions in real time
- Allow more flexibility for TimeOff function, now limited to minimum of before the week begins
- Allow training access on mobile devices
- Allow a 'sandbox' feature for creating an initial schedule

We currently use Jolt as our training system tracking throughout our three locations. We use Jolt for our documentation of employee's personnel action forms, i.e. Coachings, AOC, terminations, performance reviews. We use Jolt in our food and beverage areas for labels, temp control logs, and other tracking needs. Jolt has helped us automate a lot of processes that we used to do manually.
- The scheduling piece of Jolt is very user friendly.
- The labeling system for food and beverage department has been a game changer for us.
- Jolt is very user friendly.
- Jolt tends to have a long load time when creating a new list item. For example, you click the plus button to add a new list and it will go to a loading screen for a minute our two before moving to the next screen. It does not give a time out error it just takes a bit to load. I find this tends to happen during normal business hours and not so much an issue when using it on nights and weekends.
- Jolt does not integrate with our payroll system, so we could not use the time keeping piece of Jolt. I believe this is more of an issue with the payroll system than an issue with Jolt.

As a food manufacturer that maintains SQF Certification, Jolt has been a critical element in our ability to manage our food safety documentation. All employees have electronic access to any log they may need to complete. There is no need to have clipboards or binders all over the facility. When we are audited, all the logs are readily available to the auditor in one place. The auditors love the ease it adds to the process and the time it saves. Additionally, the fact that I have our walk-in cooler and freezer temperatures on my phone at all times saved us thousands of dollars. When our freezer unit went down on a Saturday when we were closed, I received an alert that the temperature was out of range. I went to the facility to investigate and was able to move our frozen product to a temporary storage unit before we lost it to spoil.
- Very easy to set up.
- Extremely flexible/customizable.
- Simple to use considering all it does.
- Remote temperature monitoring.
- Wifi monitor for cooler temperatures goes offline occasionally.
- Would like to be able to remove lines from a log that are not always applicable rather than entering an N/A.

Jolt is being used by all of our team to help track everything from cleanliness and organization to inventory and scheduling. It's a very useful tool all around and can be beneficial for any small business. Before implementing Jolt, we had issues with inventory tracking, hourly cleaning, and having different software for scheduling and time clock services; however, Jolt rolls everything in one user-friendly app.

- Cleanliness.

I use Jolt for both of my QSR's and it takes care of all the scheduling from week to week. It also does all the checklist that the employees do when they get there or in the middle of their shifts or at closing time. We use it to handle all the communications between leadership and staff and finally it continually monitors temperatures around the store.
- Scheduling - Employees can request off or put unavailable times in Jolt and when you make the schedule it is on the schedule in yellow so you can try to schedule around them.
- List - You can set list to show up at certain time and days. You can have other list show up depending on the answers from another list. And you can have emails and text sent when the list is complete, or is not complete, or send depending on the results.
- Customer Service - If you ever have any questions customer service is there not only to just answer your question but help you set up your account so it fits your needs best.
- Communication - If you do not use their time card feature there isn't a good way to tell the staff things without sending a text or email. And if you want them to see something you can't attach an image.
- Past Schedules - If you make a schedule and someone doesn't show up and so you move that shift to someone to cover there is no way of going back and seeing who had it first.

Jolt is Great for Organization and Accountability
Jolt is being used for restaurant management in our organization. It has been a great help in establishing organization and accountability in an organization where there are many leaders working at the same time. It also helps to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks and all tasks get completed throughout the day. The notifications help hold leadership accountable for completing the required work.
- Great with organizational tools to help organizations get your team on the same page on a consistent basis
- Notifications help all leaders ensure that lists and certain important items get done
- Administrators can easily track rates of completion
- More user-friendly tools during initial set up
- Would like to see the ability to set recurrences for line items within a list rather than only one set for the entire list
- Organize the toolbar more clearly. Target your audience to younger generations, less educated individuals.
