Pros I like that I no longer have to rely on long emails or messages getting lost in the inbox. With the click of a button, I can send instant messages to the entire team, to specific roles, or to individual employees.

Many apps don't allow both. Cons Occasionally the app didn't function properly for staff. In recent months this has greatly improved, making Jolt a staple in our business.

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! Debra V.

" November 14, 2017 5.0 Labels for in process and finished products, Very simple to use. Using for scheduling, time clock management, messages, alerts, communication, and accountability of personnel. They need to log in on an ipad to the software, and they can get their tasks right there that were set up for them. Excellent product! We are using this for so much more than what we originally purchased it for. Pros Originally purchased to label in process product. But when we started building labels, we realized we can also make finished product labels and apply them easier. We just used these for the first time for the entire day and couldn't be happier. Great quality and simple. This software has so many features and now our production manager is using this software for our staff. It can be used as a time clock, for messages and alerts, for accountability of workers tasks, personnel scheduling, and much more. We plan to take full advantage of all it can do for us. We seem to find something new every day that this can do for us. For the price, along with the excellent support whenever needed, it is one of the best values I have found in a long time. I cannot recall a time in my career that I have been excited about a labeler! Cons I think we will have to use this a bit longer to find something we don't like about this. The one item we changed was that the labeler comes with 1" x 1" labels, which were too small for our use. Our account manager sent us the labels we needed immediately.

I also love the ability to send and share important files, like manuals and policies, and make sure all team members have received and read them. Cons Sometimes it can be a bit complicated to navigate the platform and there are so many features and options that it can be overwhelming especially for me it was a bit complicated but with time and practice I got used to it.

Cons Although is a great product, the first time instruction could be a bit more helpful Review Source Response from Jolt May 30, 2023 Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Jolt.

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. Review Source Aaron R. Co-Founder Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jolt transforms our workforce into an efficient well-oiled, agile machine" February 1, 2018 5.0 Massive operational efficiency. Pros Jolt has given us visibility into our day-to-day operations. It allows us to see where we exceed and where we fall short. Jolt provides the mechanism for operational efficiencies which can't be achieved with paper checklists. We love that we can organize every day in advance and ensure we're in compliance with food safety practices using checklists, food labels, and temperature probes. Jolt is our future manual for franchisees to perform their day-to-day operations. Cons Bluetooth label printers don't always connect but this is more of a hardware issue than Jolt's issue. Review Source CP Corder P. Director Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jolt Software Review" April 5, 2017 5.0 We have been using Jolt at my restaurant now for around 2 years. We love the customization options that Jolt includes, how easy it is to use, and how much more neat and organized our restaurant looks since we began using Jolt. Jolt has allowed us to toss out our old paper checklists and gave us checklists on tablets. Having our checklists and information all in one place made our checklists easier to access and has given our restaurant a more professional environment. We have also watched the productivity of our team rise as a result of using Jolt in the restaurant. We also use this software to create and send out our weekly shift schedule to the whole team. The mobile app then allows team members to request shift trades when needed straight through the app itself. Then, once a shift trade request has been submitted, the manager of that shift can then approve or deny the shift trade right on the app. This saves time, and is a great deal less effort than having to make phone calls all day to find someone to cover a shift. Myself, as well as my team, highly recommend this software to anyone or any company in need of a game changer. This software will be the tool that helps you and your team get to the next level. Pros Easy of Use, Customization, Features, Scheduling, Mobile App, Labels, Checklists and Information in Central Location Cons Goal setting not built in. App sometimes does not read (connect to) printer on the first attempt.

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. Review Source AT Anthony T. Operations Manager Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Carwash Jolt Review" April 19, 2022 4.0 Overall a positive experience Pros Scheduling display lists makes task management easy at our many locations Cons Sometimes development of new features take a long time. Review Source Response from Jolt April 27, 2022 Hi Anthony, Thank you for reviewing Jolt on Capterra! We sincerely appreciate your feedback and value you as a Jolt customer. Mayerly G. bachelor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Improve communication in my team" May 26, 2023 5.0 The ability to instantly communicate with my entire team, send targeted messages to specific roles or specific employees, and the ability to display media is really cool. 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.

Our team is always working to improve the user experience and we appreciate your feedback. We look forward to continuing to provide you with a great communication tool for your team. Thanks for choosing Jolt! SB Sabrina B. Senior HR/Training/Inventory Director Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very functional, Easy to Use and a great tool for communication" March 21, 2018 5.0 Pros I love that I am able to customize it for my restaurants needs. We have a lot of information and to be able to have one platform to trickle that information down is easy. From the lists, to labels and bulk imports, it is very easy to use. I also really love their customer service as they are always willing to answer any question I have, big or small and they really value feedback from "in the trenches" and strive to provide us the functionality we crave in this platform. I help establish this platform for several restaurants and file sharing and information is so easy in regards on how to build it, share it and import it. Cons Honestly, nothing. Every time it seems to get close to being "outdated" or not as easy to use, they ask for a call so they can help walk you through an update. They ask for feedback and listen so most of our needs are met and are done so in a timely manner. They make me feel like our restaurant is the only one they work with however I know they take feedback from many many restaurants and it helps to know everyone's concerns and voices are heard.

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 NP Nicole P. General Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Experience" January 19, 2017 5.0 I was approached by Jolt to try their product. No other locations from my company have tried this company so I had no comparisons or reviews. After checking around, the price made it worth the investment. Once we received the product it has changed our process in a positive way. The main features we use include the List, Labels, and Schedule. We were using hand written labels before Jolt because other company labeling equipment was too expensive. With our past hand written labels faced issues with labels falling off, unable to read the hand writing, and the employees did not do a great job looking for items that expired. With Jolt the labels stick to the container very well, is has the expiration written on the label making it more simple for my employees, and there's no question about date or time. We were using paper copies for our multiple list (Typically 6-8 list per day) List would disappear, become dirty, or just not be completed. Jolt has made this task more simple with the added feature of a log book making communication easier to all of the employees. This has reduced our usage of paper, toner, and extending the life of the drum for our printer. I can easily access all list and review a date, time, and employee that completed the list. This helps cut down on my time used for performance reviews. The scheduling section has also been great. Employees can use a free app from their phone to view schedule and submit request. Creating schedules is easier and more time efficient. The only option I would like added would to be able to view the schedule and my request side by side before I approve the request. With the current process I have to look at the request and then go to the schedule to see if I am able to accommodate the request. I do have 35-40 employees with a majority those being college students with school schedules and personal request to try to work with. Pros How it has helped the store become more efficient. Cons I need labels I can adjust or have available for Raw Chicken to have all the information required by headquarters on one label. 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! We're so pleased to hear that you have had an excellent experience with our product and the ways it has helped to effectively operate your business.

Administrator Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AMAZING Customer Service!! " December 19, 2022 4.0 \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] made the experience AMAZING for us. Pros I learned how effective the software could be because I was lucky enough to have a representative who was willing to teach me. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is absolutely amazing, and I will continue to use Jolt because of her. Cons Very overwhelming initially, it did take time and training to become more confident when utilizing the program. Review Source Response from Jolt January 11, 2023 Hi Leslie, Thank you for reviewing Jolt on Capterra! We sincerely appreciate your feedback and value you as a Jolt customer. DG Denise G. 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 JC Jon C. Franchisee and Area Supervisor Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jolt is a NO BRAINER for serious restaurateurs" March 2, 2017 5.0 Before Jolt we were using those ancient relics known as paper checklists. Accountability for completing those checklists was a constant battle. We were literally throwing money in the trash when checklist items were missed or ignored. NOT ANYMORE. Not only does Jolt provide superb accountability and reduce pencil-whipping to a bare minimum. The team members love it! Nobody wants to work in a restaurant that's living in the past with outdated paper checklists. Their are too many great features within Jolt to rave about every single one of them. (and they constantly add new features and functionality.) But I can tell you that we save WAY more money than the minimal cost of this program. Productivity is up, accountability is up, cleanliness is up, morale is up and profits are up! The product date labeling feature in Jolt is worth the cost on its own. Do yourself a favor and take the time for a demo on the program and see for yourself. If you aren't on Jolt, chances are your competitors are and you do NOT want them to have this competitive over you. I just can't say enough about how much I love Jolt! Pros The ability to measure our success or failure and the ability to hold people accountable down to the minute and second an item was completed. Cons You will "nerd out" and want to do nothing but write Jolt checklists all day long. 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 LT Luke T. Hospitality Director Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Streamlined Management Processes" May 24, 2017 5.0 Cost savings on labels. Time saving on tasks. Team is more motivated. Training is easier with a streamlined process. Food safety is easier to implement with simple labeling process. Pros Jolt takes your everyday tasks and lets you create checklists that managers and team members can complete while at work. Team can earn points for each task completed, helping to create motivation. Jolt food date labels are extremely cost effective (we saved on labels alone after switching from another labeling company). The wireless printer is awesome! Print from any connected iPad in the store. We were able to get rid of all the different binders and papers we had and just go with a single iPad in the managers' station. Cons I would like to see better development on scoring. I would like to be able to view score in a category (such as cleanliness) and compare this week to the week before or last month to current month. Scoring is a huge opportunity that needs more development! Also, there's no way to "clear" a checklist without checking it off (sometimes leads to someone just checking everything off to clear the list). Once a list is no longer applicable, it would be better to just clear it rather than having to check every item. 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. Review Source CA Caprinia A. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Tool!" February 16, 2017 5.0 We have been using Jolt in our restaurant for about a month. The setup took a little bit of time, but once that was complete, the use of it is great! I love how modular it is. Even within the same company there can be little differences between locations. This software realizes that. The options available make it functional for any paper list, form, etc. Not to mention that every action is time/date stamped! It is great to know when things are actually getting done. I also really appreciate the "real-time" view that I have into my operations even when I am not physically there given the push notifications and range alerts that I have set up. We have been able to mitigate a few situations that weren't being highlighted given our previous methods of data collection and were being overlooked. The price is right where I would expect it to be. The value is great for the product, service, and online information. Pros I like that this helps eliminate the paper in the store and requiring the manager's to "proof" every little part when they are busy managing the shift. Time-stamps are wonderful. The modular ability of being able to build what you need is great. Setting up pushes for the lists and forms at specific times is a great tool to help keep the team on track daily. I appreciate the notifications that I can create for any form. We haven't yet utilized the point system, but our team is excited to use it in contests. I anticipate it will be a great motivational tool. Cons The build-out for getting it functional was time consuming. I did not have any templates to work from. If I had those, it would have been much more streamlined, but would still require an investment of time. Review Source CR Collin R. Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Super useful with room to grow" July 2, 2019 4.0 We are a family fun center, so we have a large variety of tasks for employees to accomplish. Jolt helps make these tasks clear to employees and helps us managers follow up if tasks aren't completed well. The software has a ton of potential, but you can tell the company is still figuring out how to keep the apps running properly across different platforms. There are also some strangely missing features that you might think should be obvious in this kind of program. Pros I love being able to create custom lists to fit all kinds of purposes. Having employees log in and earn points is cool too. It's nice to look back and see who did what. Cons The app can get extremely slow. There are extra features in their Jolt 2 app, but it is a buggy mess that crashes to the point of not being usable. There isn't a good way to leave comments on items without flagging the item as something that needs to be addressed and cleared. Review Source Similar Products Featured
