    We have not really used any other products similar to Jolt. Jolt was recommended to us by another restaurant owner.

    Before this, we used Namely for our training and Paper for Cleaning Lists. Moving to digital was difficult at first but has been well worth the effort put in the beginning. With our other system, there was no one to reach out to for help. Any time I have a question, our Jolt …

    I really cannot think of another product like Jolt. At least nothing that I have used. It is really the only one of its kind that I have personally seen.

    I have not looked into other options. Jolt was in use when I joined the company, and we have not changed systems. Previously, I have used just paper methods to complete these required logs, which was tedious, confusing for some team members, and never completed. Jolt uses …

    Jolt is WAY better than the Avery Dennison label maker in so many ways:
    -multi functional

    Jolt is head and shoulders above any paper solution. Because of the strength of the lists, labels, sensors, and temperature probes, I don't believe there is any better or more comprehensive tool on the market.

    We tested Squaddle. I was super impressed with the Jolt support team, especially during our initial launch. They made it easy and were very helpful. I liked to have the ability to use the tablet for other needs besides DFS. Being able to download other apps or other …

    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.
    Incentivized
    Chose Jolt
    We used WhenIWork and When2Work as scheduling applications and we also used to print out documents and fill them out. In the long run, we save space on filing out these documents because Jolt saves all saved checklists on the account free of additional charge.

    I've mostly used home-grown alternatives, using everything from Google Docs to spreadsheets. I basically found one that works really good: JOLT! And don't need to keep looking. We are a smallish team and like the fact that we can keep it simple. My business is operations and …

    Jolt is the only product of its type that I have used. I have used multiple payroll systems, but that would be comparing apples to oranges.

    We chose Jolt at the time of purchase because the cost was much more reasonable. iAuditor had more of the features that I like, such as if/then scenarios, but Jolt has been continually updating and adding these features, which is greatly appreciated.

    These are all schedulers I've used in the past, and while none of them have too many flaws, they simply don't have all of the other functions of Jolt. Jolt bundles in so much more than the competitors.

    • 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!

    Pros
    Jolt
    • Time management and tracking of daily employee productivity.
    • Allows for instructional data to be added to all our checklists, audits, etc to provide hands on training all the time!
    • Ease of use. It's a breeze to create new lists and use the lists already created
    • Mobility- my staff is on the go and being able to grab an iPad at the beginning of their shift and take it with them through the day completing tasks and allowing for more autonomy in our work force
    • Versatile. Can be use for simple list down to more complex guides and checklists with calculations and scoring.

    Cons
    Jolt
    • We would love to see a "favorites" icon that can be enabled for any label. We have dozens of labels specific to products/processes that are grouped within a multitude of categories. If one is not familiar with which category a label is stored, it requires the use of the search function in Jolt (which is definitely a nice feature and great time saver). However, we were able to create a category called "favorites" and duplicated our frequently used labels into this location for ease of access.

    Jolt is very user friendly and offers a lot of solutions to my companies needs. If it offered a Payroll piece and a Point of Sale piece it would make it a complete system that would solve 99% of my companies needs.

    Usability
    Jolt
    The system itself is very user friendly and every one of our team members is able to use it easily. The only difficulty that we have occasionally run into is a lack of connectivity between the Bluetooth printer and the iPAD. There are only two or three of us on staff that are well versed enough with the product to be able to fix it when there is this kind of issue.

    When I have had questions or needed technical support, I have received a very prompt response to my emails. The answers are concise and if there are instructions they are easy to follow and implement. All interactions I have had with the Jolt team have been a very positive experience.

    Jolt provides a full house of solutions. I would have to go with at least two of the other companies to capture all the solutions I was looking for. Jolt gave me all of it. I also want to be clear that other companies promised solutions that they hadn't built out yet. Jolt is upfront and honest about things they are working on, but they won't sell them to you as a means to get you in, only to disappoint you. I have a lot of respect for that.

    Return on Investment
    Jolt
    • Food safety processes have reduced significant amount of time managing.
    • Cleanliness- Saved some labor dollars here by implementing a more consistent process. Added some training videos on cleanliness to help give a clear message of the expectation.
    • Recipe Management- We have saved thousands on having the ability to upload live recipes and be global rather than having the paper copies of recipes laying around and possibly not being up to date.
