ShiftTrained

ShiftTrained is a restaurant staff training platform that turns a restaurant’s menu into mobile quizzes, helping employees learn dishes, drinks, ingredients, specials, and allergen information. Restaurants can upload a menu as a PDF or photo, connect a Toast or Square POS system, or digitize an existing paper test. Its AI generates questions and study guides, while managers can edit, rewrite, or remove questions to suit their needs. Staff complete quizzes on their phones without installing an app.

The platform includes a manager dashboard for tracking training progress, scores, quiz attempts, and knowledge gaps, along with leaderboards and badges to encourage participation. It also provides reporting on employee completion, results, and allergen training, with a QR code for verifying reports. ShiftTrained is designed for a range of hospitality businesses, including fine-dining restaurants, casual dining venues, sports bars, pubs, and hotels. Toast and Square integrations can automatically import menu updates, while international teams outside the United States and Canada can send quizzes through WhatsApp. The service offers a free trial.
