### "Has helped our company become better at their jobs in so many ways. "

April 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

The scheduling feature is great. My favorite are the lists. It has made our employees better and more efficient at their jobs. They are more engaged as well when opening and closing.

Cons

Seems to glitch too much when working on the schedule. Fortunately once the schedule is published it's pretty flawless but while working on it can be slow, freeze or move shifts to wrong cells.

### "Jolt has been extremely helpful with budgeting and payroll cost. "

July 19, 2018

5.0

If you use Jolt, you can expect to meet you budgeting and payroll cost goals.

Pros

I love the ease of use for time keeping and the lists / communications features between departments.

Cons

The time keeping reporting could be more detailed. I would love to see it export and communicate with my payroll system.

### "Like the product, want to see where it grows"

November 2, 2016

4.0

I really enjoy using this service. One thing I would say is that it's not super intuitive for staff. I don't know why, I think it's just intimidating to work around the site. One feature we'd like to use more is the announcements, but since we don't use that timeclock, it's a pain to ensure employees are clocking in/out. Also- a management review feature would be nice. They could do a walkthrough on the list the next day. Add or remove points, make comments, etc. I wish there was a way for staff to see comments when they login.

Pros

Accountability made easy. I don't have to reprint to do checklists all the time.

Cons

It's not always intuitive for staff. The sweep button should make clear what it does. Also some buttons are too close to each other. Like the "correct answer" and red x button are too close on top of each other. They should be side by side to elminate accidents. I've also accidentally made a list inactive when I meant to click save. I'd spread them out a bit.

### "Perfect to complete tasks!"

March 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Works great - short learning curve especially with the great customer support. Cuts down dramatically on scheduling and tasks creation, etc.

Cons

There is constant improvement in the system, I can tell the development team is always trying to expand and make it the perfect solution.

### "Excellent. "

September 17, 2017

5.0

Jolt helps us get the check list and the job done.

Pros

Jolt does a great job of holding people accountable for completion of a check list. Great companies do the same thing again and again. Jolt helps. Best decision that we have made in the last couple years.

Cons

Works as I want it to. Jolt doesn't work on android tablets but that is no big deal as Ipads can be used.

### "Jolt Review"

August 29, 2016

5.0

Overall working with Jolt has been great. I have noticed a change in our restaurants and the management of the teams within.

Pros

The ability to take pictures within the list to help with coaching. The Zebra printer is amazing for date coding.

Cons

When a location has poor Wi-Fi it affects Jolt. This isn't a Jolt problem, it is an us problem, but it can be frustrating.

### "Everything in JOLT works as represented and Customer Service is Awesome"

January 24, 2018

5.0

It has allowed us to streamline and better document our Quality Control Program and our Safety inspections. We now can be ready and efficient in providing needed information to any state inspections that we have.

Pros

Provides good documentation for our quality control and safety programs. It has extreme customization and it is easy to print out the inspections for the night crew and the users are happy with a program that is quick and easy to use.

Cons

There really isn't anything I don't like about JOLT. It does have a learning curve but the customer service makes that much less painfull. Once you get the idea of how the programs does things it does make sense and is quite easy to follow. I have several people using the program who are very resistant to having to do the checklists and inspections and they even are happy about having a program that makes the process quick and easy.

### "I have been looking forever for software that had all of the functions that Jolt has."

January 31, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love the accountability that Jolt creates for my staff. The label maker is great. I also like that I can get a notification if one of my coolers is not holding temp.

Cons

There are a couple of features that I would really like to see added. The first would be a timer that you could set inside of the lists. For example, when we are cooling hot foods, we have to take temps at specific times and track them. Right now we have to set an external timer and it would be a cool addition to be able to do that all in 1 spot. The second would be to have the ability to copy a list template and modify it from the clone to another template. We have lots of lists that are very similar in the setting we need and just repeat on a different day, like daily cleaning tasks, and it is somewhat time consuming to create each template from scratch.

### "Jolt has transferred the responsibility of completing tasks to the employee."

May 15, 2017

4.0

Pros

The options when it comes to making checklists. Notifications to the employee and supervisor. The time clock and time off functions. Making the lists have transferred the responsibility to be on the employee instead of the supervisor having to check on tasks constantly.

Cons

Not being able to create specific assignments per employee without having to assign each an individual role. Don't like that other employees can't see when other people are off without publishing the schedule.

### "Outstanding & solving our schedule problems."

July 20, 2017

5.0

Profitable results & ease of managing emp's.

Pros

The results. We are saving up to 80 hrs per week over our previous scheduling process (35 Emp - retail). Once it was set up, the ease of going week to week, making changes, interacting w Emp's through the app has made a big, positive difference. Additionally, the Jolt Team helps you set up & learn quickly. They do outstanding work in my experience. Though I own the business, I now open w 1 other, have reduced staff (including mgt) & I can reward diligent, productive emp's w avail hours. No one will watch your business like you do - Jolt lets me do that. We are also implementing other Jolt features now, for better control of work quality. Glad to have found Jolt!

Cons

Some future features will help us in our application, but our method in Jolts existing functions work fine.

### "A good tool"

November 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very useful to create lists and personalize them according to your needs

Cons

It would be great to have different privacy settings for tasks of different employees, so that it would not be clear for everyone what each person has been assigned to

### "The program is great once you take the time to build your forms and lists and add you company docs. "

August 10, 2017

5.0

It replaces loads of paper and binders full of company docs and trading manuals.

Pros

Allows for a single employee operating system. It becomes the go to for everything from clocking in to training to everyday KPI tracking.

Cons

There are no intergrations. So the data that is filled out in Jolt stays in Jolt and needs to be manually extracted to be useful for inventory, job performance, KPI tracking... Adding intergrations like Google Apps and QuickBooks would make Jolt the ultimate tool.

### "Great for an organized workplace!"

September 1, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love the checklist feature that this software has. I can create, assign, and set deadlines for checklists, with emails that let me know whether or not the tasks have been completed

Cons

The scheduling portion of this app is functional, but less intuitive than other apps like it

### "Employee usage"

December 20, 2018

5.0

Product management within the restaurant as well as daily employee duties.

Pros

I like the easy to use functions and how simple the app is.

Cons

The trouble shooting is hard to use and most of the time the issues with printers is really hard especially with the label making option. Not very user friendly when it comes to issues

### "Lynn Lee Dairy Queens"

January 23, 2017

5.0

It is an awesome way of keeping our team on their toes on ensuring all areas of pride are being done in a timely matter. If for some reason they do not complete their tasked assigned by jolt, we get a notification on what items were not done so in return we will call or text the manager in charge to see why they were not complete. Supervisors also get the notifications on all incomplete tasks so they can also give us a friendly reminder when tasks are not complete. We also have access to a printer which gives us all labels needed for the HACCP program which makes labeling all products much easier. It would save the company in us going paperless since we would not have the cost of printing out red books. I like the several features like upload pictures, Commenting, sending messages t the team. Customer support has been very helpful to us and he is always keeping up with the workflow. Overall it has been an AWESOME experience.

Pros

Notifications, Product labeling.

Cons

Calculator feature not available.

Spectacular product, easy to use, reduces paper usage, increases accountability, great for multi-unit

Cons

If you have multiple content groups, you can't move things from one group the other. Everything has to be created from scratch, which is a real pain if 90% is the same from one content group to the next.

### "Systemisation at its best"

March 27, 2017

5.0

Great system to use for scheduling and systemising the workplace. All staff, regardless of level, find it easy to use and understand.

Pros

Scheduling is great and easy to use. The systemisation use in our workplace has been excellent.

Cons

There are a couple of things still waiting on in the features of Jolt that we really thought were no brainers but have not been added yet. It is easy to ask for features to be added and they seem to do this as quickly as they can.

### "I Don't Know What To Say"

March 26, 2019

1.0

The employee management concept is a great idea, but I haven't had the pleasure of using this app. That is because it only works on iPad. All my devices are android based. So if you could make an android version that would be welcome...otherwise I really don't know what to say cause I haven't tested it yet.

Pros

I hate that it can only be used in the iPad.

Cons

The logo design is very beautiful. Very appealing.

June 2, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like the ease of scheduling. It makes us quick for our scheduler which allows us to focus on our guest and not be bogged down with office work.

Cons

Not having the hours of your team available when you click on them. This would help when you are in weekly view and by role.

### "Intuitive to setup and use. Customer service and training staff are absolutely amazing!"

May 23, 2017

5.0

Pros

The fixed price per month per location saves money without constantly monitoring the budget. I had enough of the activating/deactivating locations and employees to save costs during non-peak times. We switched vendors and cut our costs by 200% plus we added functionality at the same time. That's a rare win-win. Jolt is a software suite not just one software package. We have consolidated many daily operating functions into one product suite which not only saves money but gives the day-to-day users a consistent platform.

Cons

It would be great if managers could receive notifications about time off requests and other approvals through text and/or email messages. The push notifications work but some managers would prefer another delivery method like text/email.

### "Great Application!"

December 3, 2019

5.0

This system is dummy proof. Anyone can complete this the assignment, you can even assign that they are supposed to take pictures of the area or assignments. Very useful and great for the restaurant industry.

Pros

You are able to assign the checklist to the employees with a deadline that your able to assign to each individual. This is great for accountability for each person in different departments. They also earn points as they complete the check list within the time they are to complete it.

Cons

At this time I haven’t experience anything negative about it, it has been proven to be successful through the Jolt system.

March 22, 2017

5.0

We have 7 restaurants and we use Jolt to be able to "see" into the restaurant everyday with out actually being on-site. We have been able to improve the completion of our checklists and also improve the accountability aspect since we get a picture instead of just a checkmark. Overall Great product and very good customer support!

Pros

Ease of use, functionality, and flexibility of the lists

Cons

would like to be able to customize the look of the lists - different colors and things like that.
