Overall Satisfaction with Jolt

We use Jolt as a solution to having so many checklists that get lost or are unreadable. We use this to manage our temperature recordings, onboard staff, log illness, coaching, etc. It's used on a restaurant to restaurant basis of which I oversee 3 of them.
  • 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.
  • Time efficiency has increased.
  • Accountability has increased,
  • Increased awareness of task completion from management.
The team at Jolt has always been quick to respond and always helpful. If they don't have a solution, they'll find someone who does. When I switched content groups they took some time to help recreate all of my lists within the new group.
If you have someone trained on the finer details of Jolt, it makes the usability much better as they can simplify items, tasks, and lists for the everyday user.

It's well-suited for taking temperature recordings in the food industries, especially when paired with Bluetooth probe and sensors. We log guest complaints through this. It's great for accountability. Instead of just saying something is done, you can have pictures and checkmark, etc. to follow up on. Creating all of your lists at first is tedious, time-consuming, and prone to mistakes. It's best to have one main person trained to manage/oversee.
