Overall Satisfaction with Jolt

We currently use Jolt for many purposes:
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.
  • Jolt has saved us time on payroll, scheduling and reporting. No more hand written, paper reports. Employees utilize their own devices to create reports, complete checklists and clock in/out.
  • Jolt has saved us time on preparation lists. Kitchen, bar and server lists are available and employees complete them as time allows. This has improved productivity immensely.
  • Jolt has saved us time with closing lists to make sure all cleaning and vital closing tasks are completed every day. Lighting, electronic and security tasks are a reminder on the lists.
  • Jolt is very valuable in the kitchen. Preparation lists are a huge benefit. No more out of stock items. Email gets sent immediately when line cooks are in need of goods.
  • Jolt allows cooking crew to create specific dated labels to attach to prepared items stored in the walk-in cooler. This also has impressed health department inspectors.
  • Temperature sensors in all coolers have saved us from losing food inventory when coolers, refrigerators and freezers fail.
WhenToWork service was a good fit for us until we were introduced to Jolt. WhenToWork was a scheduling tool/application that was satisfactory at the time. Jolt blew this application away in so many ways.
Technical support is very available and responsive at all hours.
Setting up lists, schedules and reports for the first time did take time and thought. But by spending the time to create these items, we have saved so much every week.
