Perfect Tool for Shift-Based Operations **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2026 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I like that Jolt provides detailed reports after each shift and uses different colors and charts to highlight different types of breaches. It's web-based, allowing it to be accessed from any device, and is affordable. The universal access means our branch offices can easily be onboarded regardless of location, fostering collaboration, central management, and effective work continuity. The detailed reports help the team perform tasks at specific intervals, reducing error or breach rates by more than 25%. We can review these reports over time to fine-tune operations and determine future team needs. The initial setup is easy as it's a software as a service solution, and the controls to fine-tune Jolt are easy to find and maneuver for most user levels. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Nothing at the moment, the solution works perfectly fine as is **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Jolt digitizes and schedules routine daily tasks, offering accountability with photo proof and time stamps. It provides universal access and detailed reports, reducing error rates by 25% and improving collaboration, management, and continuity. ### 2. District Manager **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2026 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Digital checklists are relatively easy to set up, manage, and hold the team accountable. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Customer service is poor. I signed trusting that their food prep labeling service would work— it doesn’t. I asked to remove it and I’m obligated to pay the remainder of the year for a broken service. That has broken all trust and I don’t continue business with companies that money grab like that. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Just the digital checklist which I can find anywhere else. They’re creating more problems than solving due to their poor customer service. They don’t seem to have answers over the phone and just send emails saying that I have to pay them until the end of the term. Again, money focused and not solution focused. ### 3. Jolt offers the best of all we need **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sean C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt offers more than we choose to use at this time. Jolt Digital Food Safety with the cooler/freezer sensors added is so easy. In addition, we use the Shift Management checklists. Their standard lists provided are great AND customization to add lists makes this perfect. As one of the first to adopt Jolt in the McDonald's system, we have never been disappointed. When we have a need or concern, Jolt team makes it a priority as they do for all clients. Additionally, our local Chicago Jolt Rep - Ryan Witek - has been a great addition to the Jolt team. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Nothing disliked about the company, product or staff. We only know what we know... until we find something we did not know, yet. Then, Jolt team steps up to find an answer for us. :-) **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Really have not been any "problems". When we encounter an opportunity or the the technology has some kind of event, Jolt team is on it quickly. My observation of 40 years in the industry... Jolt seems to have the least technical issues of any company we have worked with. I write that statement, including working with items in test with Jolt. Tech issues are very few. ### 4. Appreciative Client **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Jolt?** It was only a few years ago that McDonald's completed food safety by pen and paper. In these last few years, the transition to using Jolt technology has revolutionized the way we complete the most important audit in our business, the food we sell. Personally, in our organization, we have been grateful for the easy-to-use platform and the daily emails we receive with a status overview of all 9 of our restaurants. I also lead a team for McDonald's Corporate that spans across Southern California and we all are appreciative of this relationship and are excited to watch it further evolve in the future. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** If I were to identify an opportunity, it would be related to wifi. In some of our store locations, the wifi connection is not as fast as it could be. This can at times affect Jolt technology (or any tech for that matter) and can make some of the food safety process slightly slower than usual. There are several workarounds and while this is not a Jolt technology issue, it is one of the few obstacles we face now that we have this technology in our stores. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** For us, Jolt helps streamline our food safety process. This benefits us with time saved, increased accountability and a permanent track record which we can always refer back to when needed. Also, from the Corporate perspective, you can implement broad changes for the entire country overnight by implementing different constraints to meet new requirements. It helps us to all stay uniform as the McDonald's brand. ### 5.

Partnering Since 2020 **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Thebility to follow up without being at a location. CSM knowledge. Customizable lists. Set up in the beginning was fully supported. Special training for myself as the admin when needed. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I call it "Tablet Tapping" wich is like pencil whipping. We have had technology issues that will hold up operations but our CSM's strive to correct it when they are aware. Lastly, not being able to customize a McDonald;s form. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** NA ### 16. Essential for Your Business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joanna B. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Jolt?** JOLT's customer service has been great! They have a team of experts that help to resolve all of your issues from lists, to labels, to settings and beyond. JOLT helps me to keep my business running efficiently & eliminating any room for errors. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** My only suggestion for improvement with JOLT is the ability to customize the lists more. Having the option to select from different layouts, such as a chart/calendar view, and attaching more than one file from the information library (i.e. a pdf & video). The lists we have created for our business could be better. Not every company operates on just a simple checklist to be repeated daily or weekly; they need to be customized from time to time, depending on the nature of the business. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our JOLT customer service manager is currently brining a couple of requests to the attention of their development team: 1) Simplifying the process for creating a label template, so it is more 'user friendly' 2) Reviewing different features within the 'Lists' so we can customize them more to meet our businesses day to day operations ### 17. The incredible support and promptness are AMAZING!!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roosevelt B. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Jolt?** All the platforms are very user-friendly, and the tech support from each representative is STELLAR!!! I LOVE IT!! **What do you dislike about Jolt?** That we didn't get them sooner in our organization. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not many problems at all as I said, they are so user-friendly. But anything that I am not certain of, they are at my call. PROMPTLY!!! ### 18. Jolt Monitoring **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steven D. | Executive Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Customer service has been outstanding with Jolt. They are very responsive. And believe it or not, the people I call actually answer the phone if they are available. I always get a reply to my emails in a timely manner. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I have not had one complaint with Jolt. It's been a wonderful solution for us. They have grown recently and I, like everyone else, don't like change, there have been many new people at Jolt, and I miss those who have left, but the new people coming in are doing an excellent job filling big shoes. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Last night before closing I got a warning that the UT Wing Cooler was running warm, I was able to have the guys move the 10 cases of chicken wings out of this cooler before they left. In the morning, the wing cooler was not operational, and we were able to save all that product. Thank you, Jolt! ### 19.

Great Software and Service! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anthony D. | Chief of Staff, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2023 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The simplicity of use, yet the complex and long-range ability to due everything in one software for our kitchen operations is incredibley appealing and helpful! **What do you dislike about Jolt?** The design can be better. I know it will get better too :) When it comes to using all-in-one software, design is critical, especially for kitchen staff that is quite busy. The more simple, the better **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a restaurant company, we need sound systems and operations. Jolt is allowing us to have that via their lists, label maker, employee scheduling, communication, and more! ### 22. Kristen has been absolutely amazing in helping me understand the Jolt platform! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The representatives take the time to help you understand the program and teach you to use Jolt effectively for the business. I have been fortunate enough to have a WONDERFUL rep help me over the last few weeks. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Without Kristen, I would have been LOST and overwhelmed. Many features can be easily overlooked, and multiple steps must be learned. Having a good representative makes all the difference. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Personally, we needed to revise multiple tasks lists that were not being completed, and we also needed a new way to track automatic orders. Kristen was able to teach me how to do both. ### 23. ONE OF THE BEST PROGRAMS WE ARE CURRENTLY USING!! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hershy D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Many things, what i like the most is how easy it is to use, any employee of any level can learn the back end, how to use it and view reporting **What do you dislike about Jolt?** The support team wasnt great for a while, it was hard to reach anyone, but it has gotten better in the last 5 months **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Checklists and inventory + ordering guides ### 24. Using Jolt **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Melissa M. | Operations Manger, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The Checklist & accountability & Scheduling **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Maybe just not being able to log in faster **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping the team on task with checklists.

My rep is always ready to help us out with any software issue! **What do you dislike about Jolt?** It could be more customizable for specific tasks, but otherwise, there aren't many improvements that are honestly needed. It's a program so sometimes things happen, yet the service department is always ready to assist. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** I currently am having delay issues in lists, and my rep helped me figure out what is slowing the program. Short story even shorter, Jolt will resolve all problems. ### 26. Used to be good. Now awful. **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Recreational Facilities and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Jolt?** uptime. The system has been reliably and we haven't experienced down time. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Customer service used to be excellent, now it's been 3 weeks to reach an account manager and still no one calls back despite three emails and two phone calls messages. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Staff are not exactly in love with the format but it helps us track inspections, until we find another provider. **Official Response from Shannon Lippe:** > Hello, We thank you for your feedback and take your comments very seriously, as our goal is to make every Jolt customer a raving fan. In order to connect you with your account manager, please send an email to sales@jolt.com. ### 27. not a reputable company **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** rodney m. | president, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Jolt?** This company will not call you back. they have no customer service **What do you dislike about Jolt?** This company will not call you back. They have no customer service. They hook you in with a free trial and then make it impossible to cancel. Any company that does not have a way to cancel online and then does not call you back to cancel is not ethical. Stay away! **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** No benefits at all! We wanted to cancel, and they would not return calls or emails. we had to dispute the charges **Official Response from Shannon Lippe:** > Hi Rodney, We thank you for your feedback and take your comments very seriously, as our goal is to make every Jolt customer a raving fan. Please feel free to reach out to support@jolt.com with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. ### 28. The distance and time difference is a pain when in NZ. Jolt are all about the dollar! **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt was not helpful to my business. Would not use. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Only tech support is via email or phone. No onsite visits in NZ. Only suitable for the USA **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Only use if you live in the US **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nothing there are better systems doing the same thing here in NZ. Look at loaded. ### 29. Jolt is a simple, effective way to have your team stay on the same page working together. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Clayton F. | Business Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt lists keep everyone in check and and allow our team to be held accountable and to a higher standard. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Getting used to the new app is probably the thing we most dislike. Our team isn't a fan of change when it comes to that, but I know they'll get used to it. We can automatically tell there is a bit of a lag when you click on the new app and try to print something. But other than that, we love Jolt. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** For problem solving: we figure out who completed a list item when it might not be clean to our expectations. It's a learning opportunity for most. For the benefits we've realized, we feel our team is on a more consistent schedule when completing cleaning lists and others items critical to passing our health inspection. ### 30. Great for my store and keeping organized lists with due dates. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sam B. | Assistant Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I like the edit features on the website, makes it easy to customize lists. Reminding managers to do lists has been very helpful as well, the due date function is very useful for me. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** When you are off the app for days, it takes a long time to sync back up. Recently the slider bar has gone away for showing "swept items", I wish we could get that back. It made it easier for me to follow up on shift for those getting specific things on list done correctly. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Get your team on board and show them all the ways it can help. Use a fast device. For us we had to reset our app in the actual app, (as shown on website) every little bit to make sure it was as fast as possible. ipads work well, samsung tablets are so so. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** reminders. easier to get lists done, and keep track of completion. Realized that using technology makes the follow up and tracking process much easier. ### 31. Complex checklists made simple **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Recreational Facilities and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2020 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt holds us accountable for the things that we do on a regular basis. We have the ability to be reminded to complete lists, notified of completions and incomplete lists, create new lists, take photos, videos and make notes and ALL of this is hosted on Jolts servers that you can access at any time. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Jolt is making updates to their platform and decided to archive some lists to the point were they weren't accessible from the front end that we have access to. Our main reason for using Jolt is to keep digital copies of lists that can be referenced at any time. To have the company make the decision on our behalf to archive lists makes zero sense. They were restored after several complaints on our side but that has really soured the experience. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We kept paper copies of lists and scanned them to be uploaded to folders. No more need to do this. ### 32. Great For Labels & Lists **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Harry L. | Director of Human Resources, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Jolt?** This program fulfils our needs for Food Safety Date Dots as well as cleaning checklists for the team. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** The printer has a habit of disconnecting. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Be clear about what tasks you want Jolt to accomplish and then talk to the customer service team about exactly what they can do to fulfil those needs. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Jolt helps us with our food safety and cleanliness. It keeps our team more consistent about making sure that everything is at our standards. ### 33. Jolt **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Flexibility in creating lists and catering to my business needs **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Long load times/constant updating, causes things to become slow when entering or switching between stores **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Use it. It has made a difference and very easy to use and set up. Gives good reports to keep track of things as well. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creating 1 stop shop for forms/visits/checklists and keep all our stores on the same page ### 34. Stephanie Collins General Manager **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Jolt?** That it had a route and can be done in a timely manner everything is set up just like we want it. Also notifications are great **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Doesn’t stay connected to the internet, which is very frustrating **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quarter meat get dialed in everyday ### 35. Jolt makes my life easier! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dusty P. | Franchise Owner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2020 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Yes, the checklist and label printing are great, but my favorite function is how we have used the lists to go almost completely paperless in our communications and requests. We use to have paper notes all over the place and they would get lost and never addressed. Now, if anyone needs something of a leader, there is a list for that. You need a uniform, fill out the list and it is emailed to the person in charge of uniforms. A peice of equipment needs to be serviced. There’s a list for that. The team knows that they can go onto jolt and get things addressed quickly. Our communication has been streamlined to go to the right person immediately. No more lost paper. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** The initial setup can be a bit tedious and daunting. Could be a little more user friendly on the front end. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Checklists are readily available. We can track anything we want. Communication is also much better because of Jolt. ### 36. Scheduling Made Easy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elizabeth H. | Reservations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Jolt?** This is extremely easy to use and makes scheduling so much easier, especially for several employees. I like that you can have multiple admins and users. Our company also apprieciates that there is an app! We have many students that join us, and when you tell them that they can view their schedules on their phone, they get excited. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Sometimes emails do not get sent out, even after the schedule has been posted. There should be a way for employees to set up their own username and password and just have to enter an employer code, it would make the invitation email less troublesome, as it has in the past. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Easy to use and good for small businesses. Technology friendly! **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** This is amazing for small business, and we prefer this to ADP workforce ### 37.
