Jolt saved us a boat load of money
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!

Jolt Junkie
We also use Jolt for all cleaning and maintenance lists. We used to print 100 page books every month for our leaders with all of their daily tasks for them to check off, and a manager would have to be in the store to see if it was done. Now, not only can a leader see it in real-time, they can upload pictures, leave comments, and even get a message when something is completed. It has put the power in the managers hands, and streamlines follow-up.
- Training
- Follow Up
- Systemizing
- Devices Often have to be deleted and re-added.
- Need a new QR code for each new device. I would love just one QR Code!
- There is no better way for Cleaning & Maintenance Lists. The follow-up is automatic, it is user-friendly for leaders, and easy to update as needs change.
- I am excited for the new updates coming out that will help our new hire training!

- The Jolt support team is a huge help.

Bowl-O-Rama strikes it rich with Jolt!
Time recording with clock-in photo to verify employee's location. Jolt also interfaces with QuickBooks for payroll. The most valuable tool are shift lists. This ensures tasks are completed on each shift in a timely manner. Lists identify who actually completes each item on each list. Lists also allow employees to note deficiencies with previous shifts, needed material which generate emails to management. We use incident reporting, alcohol incident reporting, employee tardy - no show reporting. This stores records for HR purposes as well as regulatory inspections. (Health Department, Liquor Commission, etc.) We use the employee scheduling feature with ease. Employees are able to request time off or swap shifts on their own. Another valuable feature are the temperature sensors in all of our equipment. This sends text messages and emails when temps are out of range. Employee contact information is also available to selected users which allows ease of contact.
I'm sure I am missing other features that we use but am extremely satisfied with this most valuable service.
- We have created very detailed lists to ensure nothing gets forgotten or overlooked. This also helps with holding employees accountable for required duties.
- Temperature sensors have saved us from losing product when our cooler failed.
- Reports for employee issues, injury/incident reports and alcohol logs allow for reporting to authorities with detailed reports.
- QuickBooks interface saves considerable time each week.
- Time Clock feature requires employee to take photo of location when clocking in/out.
- I'm at a loss here. Technical support has always been there to assist. Usually user error.

Give your everyday a Jolt
- Tech Support on the ball with any problems brought to them.
- Compatibility with label printer makes for fast and convenient in restaurants.
- Ability to assign roles and lists to specific people.
- Notifications via email or text based on lists being completed, late, etc.
- When creating a new Content Group, all lists have to be remade manually.
- Label maker printer only works through 2.4 G wifi through the app despite being 5G capable.
- Syncing from iPad to iPad doesn't always work quickly if in iPad hadn't been used recently. There's no sync in the background.
JOLT! FIVE STARS!
- Great scheduling software
- Real time monitoring of refrigeration
- Create task lists
- Employee real time shift notification could use some kind of verification that it was sent
- Scheduling software integration with POS vendors
Easy peezy!
- 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 Jolted Up our Potential
- Storage of training videos
- Tracking of cooler and freezer temps with alerts for threshold variance
- Monitoring and reporting on daily/weekly activities
- Label printer software updates for better optimization
Jolt is a Time Saver!
- 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.

Great Product that I wouldn't want to go without!
- 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 checklists help our team stay organized and divide up tasks for completion.
- Jolt date labels are a fast and easy way to put date stickers on prepped food.
- Jolt scheduling makes the process of creating an employee schedule very easy and simple.
- I currently don't see any problems with Jolt, I love it!
Joltastic!
- Food Safety - Time and temp feature with blue tooth monitoring.
- Checklists- Line check and cleaning and task checklists.
- Customer service - The support and customer service is some of the best I have experienced.
- Global management- I feel like there could be a better way to bring some things together more to manage more efficiently at the global level for better accountability.
- Reporting- It's great but could be wonky in some aspects.
Jolt is Great for Organization and Accountability
- 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.
