As an internal library, Schoox is a good choice
Schoox serves as a resource for in-house training and development. Schoox is a repository for training/orientation and professional development programs. They may then be accessible by everyone in the team for further education. It is possible to keep track of which courses have been finished and which ones need to be completed using Schoox, an online platform. It is also used to track tests that indicate students' comprehension of the course material.
- Effective tests may be created quickly and easily thanks to the use of this template.
- For uploading documents or adding connections to websites, it is easy to use.
- There are already a slew of useful training films included.
- The website was upgraded, but it's hard to navigate. None existed.
- I believe you can't duplicate tests between classes. If I wish to use an exam from one course in another, I must make it again.
- Most of the videos are confusing. They should be concise. Too many distract employees.

Learning? Use schoox!
Schoox is used as an internal learning library. Training/orientation modules, as well as professional development, are uploaded to Schoox. They are then easily accessed by all teammates for continued learning. Schoox is a platform that we can use to track and review which modules have been completed and which ones need to be completed. We also use Schoox to track quizzes that demonstrate our understanding of the learning topics.
- Schoox organizes learning modules in an efficient way
- It allows us to track what we've completed and what needs to be done.
- It stores all information in an easy and accessible platform.
- Schoox can be hard to navigate at times.

HS Train review
We are using HS Schoox to provide training to all employees within the restaurant. I've created a training program with lectures and step by step guides to assist with menu and wine knowledge for FOH employees, and kitchen safety and prep knowledge for BOH employees. Each course ends with tests to ensure that all employees understand their roles and company policies and procedures.
- Makes it easy to create effective tests, great template for creating questions
- User friendly for uploading documents or attaching links to websites
- Already comes with a lot of great videos for training that can be used
- This was recently updated I believe, but navigating the website can be difficult. There was no back button
- As far as I can tell you can't copy tests into different courses. So if I want to use a test I've already created in a different course I have to make it again
- While some of the videos are great, most of them are too convoluted. They should be short and sweet, to the point. Once they get too long you lose the employee's focus

Anything you need, it's there!
We use HotSchedules Train consistently at all of our field locations as well as in our home office. Of course, it's used by our training department. It's also used by management in the field to train up new crew members. But we also use it to constantly improve the knowledge of our seasoned team members. There's no shortage to how many courses, exams, curricula, etc., that you can upload. It addresses the problem of inconsistent training. Every crew member has access to the same and, more importantly, correct training. There's no risk of one trainer showing a shortcut or another one showing a new trainee how to do it "their way." There is one way to do a task and the trainee is learning the corporate approved method. This ensures successful training. Successful training of all crew members leads to a successful location.
- The ease of uploading documents or slideshows or videos for new training courses. This is the most important part of training, the content. [It's] Personalized to our company's needs to make us as successful as we can.
- The ability to track every enrolled person's progress. It has date and time stamps, percentage complete, etc. You can also set deadlines that they must complete by. This is a plus for fast paced companies that need precise updates at all times.
- The support team for HotSchedules Train is amazing. I speak to a real person every single time. They are in a positive and upbeat mood every single time. They have solved my problem almost every single time. The only time they didn't solve my problem was because it was a function that didn't exist yet. I get a follow up email that summarizes our discussion, in case I did not take proper notes. This team is a serious wealth of information and problem solving.
- Ease of access. You can access this tool anywhere, anytime, from any piece of technology. In the office we use it on our desktops. In the field they use tablets and cell phones. All processes work.
- There is a functionality that I thought existed but does not. The ability to copy old training and paste it into a new course. This would help because we personalize training based off location, but the bulk of the training stays the same. To be able to start with a fresh slate with no student stats in the course would be beneficial. Right now you can copy and paste into the same course. I want to be able to start a new course with documents already uploaded and exams already made. Then I could make minor tweaks and push out immediately.
- I have trouble understanding the organization of where to find courses. I find myself clicking the "content" tab, then the "me" tab, and finally the "training" tab. I would want a little more clarity in those descriptive words.
- I would want to see some improvement in the ease of getting to the course dashboard. Once the course is made and assigned, that's the most important area that we go to. Right now it's multiple screens to get there. Perhaps if, once the course is made and assigned, the button jumped to the top of the first screen once you hit "manage course" that would be great.
- I would be interested in seeing a side by side of how courses translate from a desktop view to a tablet or smart phone view. So after (or during) the course being built, showing what it looks like to remote users.
- The ability to send a reminder text about a course, as opposed to a reminder email. People all communicate in different ways. This would bridge the gap to those that primarily use texting.

The search is over for the perfect training software
Currently HotSchedules Train powered by Schoox is being utilized by our entire organization. We currently have 6 restaurants in our group and every single employee is on Schoox. Schoox will be used 100% for our new hire training program for all positions (server, host, bartender, line cook, prep cook, dishwasher, managers). The number one business problem that Schoox addresses is consistency. With Schoox, we can nearly guarantee that every single new hire is seeing all of the material because it can be tracked, and quite easily I may add.
- Ease of use - this product is so easy to use! Building courses, curriculum, tracking, etc.
- Tracking - we FINALLY have a way to track tests and completion of courses! An absolute LIFESAVER.
- Accessibility - it seamlessly works on all platforms (iPads, computers, cell phones).
- Syncing - I have run into some errors with employees not syncing over from HotSchedules.

SchooX Review
HotSchedules Train is used by our entire organization. This is the system we use to train everyone in our company from hourly team members, to general managers and minor additions to our menu or a new system being implemented in our company. We use almost every aspect of this training tool minus a few. It is my job to create and upload our training into the system as well as maintain its accuracy.
- Testing: The testing that HotSchedules Train provides is great because it allows you to create your own questions and answers providing multiple different types of questions.
- Organized: The organization of this training system is very well put together. Being able to break down your training into curricula, course, lecture, on the job training. The system also allows you to create different categories for different curricula.
- Reporting: At Hickory Tavern we are big into the reporting this system offers. We can view reporting any way we would like to. By location, job code, individual, course, curricula, you name it. This makes it easy for the training department to see where our training lacks.
- User accounts: HotSchedules Train has each user in the system by first and last name which is a great tool but this becomes a problem when you have more than one person in your company with the same first and last name. Maybe they should identify by email instead of name so accounts of users with the same name do not merge together.
- Copying Course or Test: Throughout the system you see the option to copy a course or a test but then the only place you can "paste" is within that same course or test. If I am creating two different courses or test that are similar it would be easy to use this function if it were designed a little better. Instead to "copy" a quiz you need to add all questions to a pool. In order to "copy" a course you would need to just create a new one from scratch.

Efficient, and consistent
At Silver City Restaurant & Alehouse, we use Schoox to not only train both the Front of the House, and Kitchen staff, but to also ensure what's communicated to them is consistent, and clearly understood amongst everyone. Schoox also addresses the issue of tracking whether or not an employee has been trained in a particular position, new menu item, or any other new material.
- Schoox is easy to use. Creating, editing, and assigning courses is easy, and saves time.
- Progress can be converted to an Excel sheet. Easy to edit, and post for staff to see.
- Schoox provides the administrator the freedom to customize training courses to the needs of the organization.
- Uploading a PDF can sometimes be challenging no matter the size of the file being uploaded.
- Question formats on quizzes don't all work the same between mobile devices, and desktops.

Vetted Review
Verified User
Schoox has cut training time for both back-of-the-house and front-of-the-house while increasing service standards and brand knowledge. Schoox allows me to confirm that the knowledge/classroom portion of our training is being completed with all our new team members prior to starting their first solo shift. This format is ideal for most of our team members, they love using a tablet, iPad or smartphone as the source of communication/training.
- The reporting feature is great for follow-up.
- The training allows communication via text or video.
- I like that you can use the courses across different curriculums.
- I don't like the fact that you can not add content to a course without it changing existing team members' scores to incomplete. I want to add (not replace) a video or document and it only affects future team members, not existing ones.
- I wish that assigned curriculums were easier for new team members to identify. People get confused from what is assigned/required and want is available (extra course or curriculums available to everyone but not required).
We are using HotSchedules Train across the entire company. We manage 19 locations and 10 different concepts. We use Train for our new hire training for all positions, both hourly and manager, in the restaurants as well as continuing education for those that want to learn more. Train allows us to deliver a consistent message to our employees as well as quickly updating that message as necessary.
- Using the App for training as well as On the Job Training (OJT) checklists. Our trainees and trainers can work from a shared checklist on all the key training areas to make sure everything is covered.
- Creating courses and curricula is very simple. The ability to pull websites into the training course has made managing the course data very simple for us.
- The reporting page is very simple to navigate and looking up the progress of a trainee takes seconds.
- Auto-assigning courses and curricula to new hires has made it very simple to begin training at the store level. No new procedures for the managers to learn to get a new employee started. Jobs pull right from the POS and the necessary courses are assigned based on the job.
- Looking up an individual employee's progress on line is very simple and intuitive. But finding the right report for training is not and can take lots of time to find what you are looking for.
- The mobile app needs to have more of the social features like the Leader Board and creating a new message.
- We have 9 different concepts in our training academy, I would like to be able to restrict the courses and curricula to those that only apply to specific concepts. Similar to how the content can be assigned to different units.

Consistency is king!
Schoox is being used as the main training tool in our restaurants. It is used across all departments and job roles (except administrative and director levels) in the restaurants. The main business problem that it addresses is the difficulty of consistent training as an organization is growing. We believe consistent training is the only way for a business to not lose it's "soul".
- The ability to maintain a streamlined message
- integration with hotschedules, specifically with importing and managing users based on job codes
- Automated features for getting information to new hires and new roles
- Clunky interface, not as intuitive as other competitors
- Curricula and courses differentiation is often confusing to new users
- Strange conversion of certain PDFs
- We'd love to see the ability to customize our academy a bit more to make it more on brand

Schoox the Time Saver
We use Train by Schoox for all our new employees. We require every employee from our busser to our general managers to use Schoox before setting foot on the floor. Recently we added a course to everyone's assigned courses and we were able to roll it out extremely fast with Schoox.
- Uploading of courses
- Great built in materials
- Auto assignment
- Test formats are not ideal - no fill in the blank
- Account setup doesn't always work
- Employees often get confused to which courses are theirs, they do unassigned courses
