September 8, 2023 5.0 Pros Jolt overall is a great product. The labelling system is easy to setup and quick to use. The information library is clever, it downloads files locally, so users can access them quickly and conveniently without needing to wait. The list functions are great as well. But the highlight has to be their onboarding team. Mainly \[sensitive content hidden\], who is our customer success contact. He answers EXTREMELY quickly, is patient, knowledgeable, and very efficient. Anytime we hit a wall or need help, he is quickly available, very meticulous and to be honest without him, we might have given up on Jolt. Cons The overall initial lift that Jolt requires before reaching the usable state is high. There are some UI features that don't yet exist within Jolt that they are working on that would make the experience simpler. Although these are small things that will eventually be solved for. They have a great feedback function that alerts the DEV team to what things can be improved. Switched from [ExpandShare](https://www.capterra.com/p/156038/microTuneUp/) Expandshare did not make sense for our business.

Associate Product Manager Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Supercharged Performance with Jolt" January 15, 2023 5.0 Overall, I'm very pleased with my experience with Jolt. It has greatly improved my workflow and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. Pros Jolt has been a great addition to my workflow. It's incredibly fast, reliable, and easy to use. The intuitive user interface helps me get things done quickly and efficiently. The customer service is also top-notch, and they're always quick to respond to my questions or concerns. Cons The only downside I've found with Jolt is that the pricing can be a bit steep for some users. There are also some features that I wish were included but are not. Switched from [Ayoa](https://www.capterra.com/p/135980/Ayoa/) Jolt's greatest strength is its speed and reliability. It's lightning fast and never crashes or lags. The customer service is also amazing, making it easy to get help whenever I need it. In comparison to its competitors, Jolt stands out as the superior choice.

Site Manager Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Jolt Experience" July 25, 2026 4.0 I loved Jolt. It was great creating tasks for my staff to complete. Adding pictures was a great add on to review certain tasks. Pros My favorite feature of Jolt was the task management. I loved creating tasks with reminders for my staff to complete. Cons It seemed a little outdated back when I used Jolt for my scheduling and task managing. I will need to try it again to have a better understanding. Review Source RE Ramy E. COO Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid LMS " September 7, 2021 5.0 I've used Jolt over 2 companies, and it is far superior to some of the other systems that have a huge start up cost Pros Easy to build and use. Vey short learning curve. Highly effective. Eliminates the need for paper! Cons UI not as inviting as some other systems Reason for choosing Jolt Ease of use and start up Switched from [Wisetail](https://www.capterra.com/p/133879/Wisetail-LMS/) Playerlync was too hard to use and very limited Review Source JM Jaime M. Food Tech Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Support from CSM" May 24, 2022 5.0 Jolt has been great so far! Everyone has been super helpful and very accommodating. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been doing implementation with me and he is a ROCK STAR. He always makes time for a Zoom when I need it. He has great knowledge and is absolutely a delight to work with. Pros We LOVE the lists! We love the LOG BOOK! We LOVE the information library. With a few tweaks, scheduling could be outstanding as well. Cons Scheduling performance. I have provided requests to help make it better. Reason for choosing Jolt No other products considered. Could have stayed with PlayerLync, but they can't really meet all of our needs. To have a one stop shop is great! Switched from [Wisetail](https://www.capterra.com/p/133879/Wisetail-LMS/) Similar products but different. The portal is WAY easier to navigate. The bulk upload option on all the things is the GREATEST invention ever! Literally a GAME CHANGER. The labeling feature is what sold us originally, but the lists, logbook and the option for scheduling made us more interested. Review Source Response from Jolt May 27, 2022 Hi Jaime, Thank you for reviewing Jolt on Capterra! We sincerely appreciate your feedback and value you as a Jolt customer. MS Michael S. Food & Beverage Front Of House Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software for scheduling, food & beverage companies" November 11, 2019 5.0 I have cut my time that is spent making the schedule down from the previous program I used. Pros I have the ability to schedule as many positions to multiple employees for our Renaissance faire food and beverage staff..this is crucial when I need to have an employee work in multiple locations through out the day. Cons I am unable to send the schedule to just a select employee or employees. Currently I have to send it to the entire staff. Reason for choosing Jolt The staff is able to download the App on their cell phone and put in requests off as well as the ability to use Bluetooth thermometers with the App Switched from [Snap Schedule](https://www.capterra.com/p/114654/Snap-Schedule/) The value for multiple locations in Jolt is significantly less than having multiple locations in Snap Schedule 365. Review Source TK Traci K. Chief Administrative Officer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Pretty good for the cost." September 4, 2019 4.0 Overall, I am happy with the experience. There are some options that I would like to have added, but it is saving me some time. Pros The cost and the function that allows team members to edit their own punches. Huge time saver for me. Cons I would like to see integration of Paid Time Off / Vacation hours. We have a set schedule in our clinic, so the scheduling function is a little cumbersome. I understand this approach for restaurants or other types of businesses, but the ability to track / enter Paid time off would be very helpful. I also would like the report option to be different. I would like a report that gave daily, weekly and pay period totals per employee. I have to manually adjust the excel sheet to figure overtime hours. Switched from [PayClock Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/130793/PayClock-Online/) We had PayClock, but not the online version. It was connected to our local server. We did not want to spend the money per employee to move to the cloud version one our version was outdated. Review Source CR Carlie R. Ceo Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wonderful product would recommend" March 5, 2026 5.0 Pros Easy interface. User friendly platform. Very few hiccups. Worked for what we needed it for. Good product. Cons The customer service wasnt that great nor easily accessible. When i tried to reach out for help, i got a very delayed response.

Procurement, Systems and Training Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Capable operations platform" January 20, 2025 4.0 Pros Simplicity, excellent compliance verification capabilities. Cons Platform is dated, with very few updates experienced during the time that I administration the service. Outdated UX. Review Source SM Samantha M.

Cons Haven’t had any issues with Jolt it even works very well on smartphones which is super convenient Review Source DC Daniel C.

Review Source sG sergio G. Director Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Time Saver" September 19, 2023 5.0 So far our experience with jolt has been excellent and it has simplified our system process and made everything digitally available with reports to show our compliance. Pros Jolt checklist make it super simple for us to keep up with location compliance and ensures we stay up to date with requirements. It notifies us if checklist are not being conducted on a timely basis and it also allows us to construct our own inhouse checklist to maintain a digital file of whatever we feel it is important to track. Cons There is nothing to dislike about Jolt, if any questions arise there is a designated support specialist assigned to assist us and if not anyone from the support team will more than gladly assist.

Safety Specialist Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jolt Gives Business Independence" March 23, 2022 5.0 It's been really good! Occasionally a migration or an update will down the app but it is usually resolved in a timely manner Pros I really appreciate that as the administrator I can write and program my own inspections related to my state, county, or company specific requirement without having to ask a dev to do that for me. I can get complex and focus on very specific areas. Cons I wish the reports for completed inspections also included the corrective action dialogues as one document rather than having to weave these two things together in post to get the whole picture Reason for choosing Jolt We actually were recommended Jolt from a consultant who also works with Flying Food Group. It ticked all the boxes we needed so we didn't really shop around - we trusted the recommendation. Review Source Response from Jolt March 26, 2022 Hi Roxanne, Thank you for reviewing Jolt on Capterra! We sincerely appreciate your feedback and value you as a Jolt customer. MW Marie W. General Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A New Era for Business" August 31, 2016 5.0 I use Jolt for the Food Industry. It is straight forward and easy to use. I publish my schedule, manage requests, set lists, and manage people. I am also able to send announcements and track my labor goals. I use it daily and it has become my main use for most things. Pros I love how easy it is to pick up on. I was capable of teaching myself with ease. I love the schedule and how employees can create a prefered avaiability as well as request off and swap shifts with others at my approval. It informs me immediately when someone makes a request, and I am able to set it so employees have to give x days prior notice for their request as well as a reason. I also enjoy the variety of options I have for creating my checklists. They can be as thorough as I want and notify me when I want. My employees also find Jolt easy to use. Most of them figure it out on there own and have had no problems using it. I also use their Jolt printer system, which is extremely useful and honestly could not have been created any better. The stickers do not leave residue! The support is also great. Theyre always open to ideas and tend to be very fast pace when assisting you. I love how willing they are to expand in new features/ideas. There are many other benefits to Jolt, but I have listed the big ones I discovered using. Cons My one con is the text notifications recieved from Jolt. You can set so that is a checklist is overdue, out of range, etc, you can be notified via text. This is a great thing; however, the texts can be overwhelming in the sense of how it is formated. It could be because I own an Android and not an Apple device (which is what I understand it is mainly used with), but my text notifications get broken up instead of being all in one. I have seen my co worker use her iphone with it, and her notifications are all in one. With that said, I have noticed they have been improving it. Review Source BC Brittani C. General Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic- when it works." February 10, 2020 4.0 Jolt has greatly improved our food scores since we began using it. It has gotten our team members in the habit of labelling everything because it is easy-to-use and has all pertinent information readily available. The issue is getting technical problems resolved in an appropriate manner; our printer has been unusable for a total of over 2 months out of the 10 months which we have had it. Pros The label feature for all food products has really helped us to drastically increase our food safety scores by clearly indicating when a particular product must be used by. We no longer have to mentally recall the hundreds of various hold times we have for all of our products and their ingredients, because all of that information is easily stored in the Jolt system and prints out with the touch of a button. The labels are also much higher quality than other sticker systems we have tried in the past, making dish washing much easier because they are removed easily with zero sticky residue. Cons The software, in our experience, is offline often. We contacted Customer Service multiple times to try to correct the issue but were instructed that we may need to send the entire printer back to be serviced and that we would get it back after the repair was complete in 2-3 months. The printer system is pricey to begin with, so it did not seem like an appropriate solution to be without what we were paying for, for multiple months. We also have issues with the calibration lining up with the stickers perfectly, but have discovered that if you gently pull on each sticker before printing it will line up more accurately. Review Source BB Benjamin B. General Manager Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Software!" October 20, 2023 5.0 Experience was great, had a couple of hiccups with setup and installation but support helped us out! Pros It deals away with the paper versions of recording temperatures and other required things in a restaurant, and makes them more detailed. It adds accountability and accuracy from employees. You’re able to create lists, print date labels or even create other labels. It’s a step forward in technology and I would recommend other fast food restaurants use this great tool! Cons Overall it was a pretty great experience, but the amount of information you have to learn at the beginning can seem overwhelming. But with the training you’ll eventually learn it all! Review Source Response from Jolt October 26, 2023 Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! It's great to hear how Jolt has been beneficial for your restaurant, especially in replacing those paper processes. We know there's a bit to take in at first, but we're glad our training helped bridge the gap. It's always our aim to be there when you need us, like during the setup hiccups. Your feedback and recommendation mean a lot to us. If you ever run into any issues our team is here to help. Looking forward to more success together! VR Verified Reviewer Director of Operations Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jolt Employee Task Management Review" August 15, 2018 5.0 Jolt has solved problems with productivity and food safety. It is simple to label products and improve our stores efficiency with daily checklists that the team has to complete. Pros Jolt's label maker feature has changed the culture of our restaurant from a time consuming and not done all the time task of labeling products, to having a quick and efficient way to track our products and who is preparing them. Another benefit is customizable checklists that ensures you don't have to micromanage the business and allows you to put more in your teams hands. Cons The scheduling concept is good but difficult to integrate into our current payroll and clock-in system.

November 27, 2021 5.0 I am satisfied with a jolt for it helps me with my research and my thesis. Pros very reliable and user friendly and easy to learn Cons sometimes it is very lag. maybe the signal causes the delay.

Pros I love the ability to instant message my entire team with just one click, which has made communication much easier and ensured that everyone is aware of critical information. Cons Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to receive a large number of messages at the same time if there are a lot of people in the chat. Review Source Response from Jolt May 31, 2023 Thank you for your review of Jolt! We're glad to hear that our Communication Manager has made communication much easier for your entire team.

Thanks for choosing Jolt! EG Eldridge G. Operations Director Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Safety and Productivity Solution!" May 5, 2020 5.0 The experience has been great through and through! It's been a huge time saver. It's saved us time, and time equals money, in various areas of our business. You can download the names of your staff who in which are on your schedule, and it helps in keeping you and your team accountable. Pros My most favorite feature of Jolt would be its assistance in helping the team meet food safety. This feature eliminates any handwritten and/or guessing shelf life for products, as the corporate guidelines for holding procedures are already downloaded on the application. Cons Depending on how tech and app savvy your managerial team is, customization is based on what works for your particular team. Therefore customization is up to us and could be pretty sloppy, which ends up being productivity lost searching for a particular label. Reason for choosing Jolt Time saver, assists in food safety, accountability, no film left behind from printed labels Review Source RL Rusty L. COO Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love the multiple uses" September 23, 2022 5.0 Overall we have had an excellent experience Pros We love the multiple ways we can use Jolt to effectively operate our business Cons Currently, multiple apps that need to be streamlined into one Review Source Response from Jolt January 30, 2023 Hi Rusty, Thank you for your review for Jolt!

Office Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not quite perfect but support is excellent and they take on board suggestions for changes" January 5, 2018 4.0 Pros The scheduling side is excellent. Easy to use from both our employees point of view and payroll. Great record keeping. The list creation is sometimes a little confusing but support is always quick to respond and very helpful. The lists are a great tool for staff and we have found that being able to adjust them as needed to get the best result from the staff members actually responsible for completing the lists is pretty easy. We supply and sell food onsite to our guests which brings with it all sorts of food hygiene expectations from local government and a large amount of record keeping for this. The lists we have developed allow us to complete all requirements on Jolt with easy access when needing to audit the results. All staff find completing them easy. Auditing the correct completion of the lists by staff is also simple. This leads to higher compliance and can also be used as a performance tool with staff management. Review Source TM Tyler M. Operations Services Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Everything in One Place" March 14, 2017 5.0 We now have 40 locations using Jolt for our daily checklists and logs. It is great having quick access to any list or food safety log in a matter of seconds. It has improved our team's accountability in getting the necessary details completed accurately on a daily basis. Not only does it help set the restaurant up for success in serving our customers, the Health Department also appreciates our electronic temperature logs! Some features I would like to see improve are capabilities within the way lists can be setup, such as conditional formatting and multiple items under a parent item. I would also like to see more customization around notifications. The notifications are one of the best features of Jolt! The goods news is, the Jolt team is very receptive to feedback and always tries to make client's ideas come to life. Overall, I would highly recommend Jolt to any restaurant looking to streamline their systems and eliminate all of the paper and clip boards! Pros The lists capabilities are currently the biggest benefit to us, but we have also started testing the Zebra printer and scheduling. Cons We like the scheduling feature but since it does not integrate with our systems, it's not the best option for us. I would also like to see more customization for the way lists can be configured, such as conditional formatting and more that one measurable under a parent item. More customization surrounding notifications would be helpful as well. Review Source SH Scott H. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Allows me to successfully operate multiple stores without having to be in every store, every day. " February 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Jolt gives me time back everyday, by allowing me to easily review each checklist from my computer, no matter where I am at. This ensures critical maintenance tasks are being completed on a daily basis, saving both time and money on potential costly repairs. The list feature, helps me confirm temperature logs are being completed, the ice machine is being cleaned routinely, and much, much more. I use the list feature to ensure deposits are being made daily, I can see the deposit receipts stapled to the end of day summary's without having to be at each store. My employees love the labeling machine! The labeling machine saves time and money, by offering a consistent, streamlined labeling process. Receiving orders takes much less time. Previously we were manually filling out labels, which took up to 20-30 minutes, two times a week. With the Jolt labeling we don't have to worry about incorrect dating, or wondering who labeled something. We go through a lot less labels as well. Cons I would like to see the schedule linked to the lists. Besides that, Jolt has been a great products and given me back so much time, and less worrying about something getting done.
