Having the ability to easily add photos or job aids to checklist items is a big plus. The scheduling platform is very simple to use and makes managing request offs, schedule changes, and shift changes a breeze. Their logbook function allows my entire team to communicate more effectively, by posting concerns or issues and allowing a comment thread to evolve. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** They are still working on Android integration, it still works best on an Apple product. The Android applications are getting much better, but it's still a little slow. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** This platform is an inexpensive solution to bringing a company into digital operations. It's easy for all levels of comfortably with technology and can make it easier to push standards out through a corporate or franchise structure., **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** This platform is helping my team to easily communicate standards for performance management and is aiding us in digitizing all of our operational tools. It also allows us to easily track and manage all scheduling aspects from the website. ### 2. Jolt Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2019 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt is able to allow to send tasks to each employee to help extend the amount of work one can do during the day. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Although it is best for shopping and restaurants, sometimes the two can combine to not be exactly what I want to use. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** This is great for restaurant management. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is keeping more employees on task and helping us solve our issues ### 3. Scheduling is so much better with Jolt! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike S. | General Manager, Supermarkets, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Templated schedule features, digital time-off requests and availability changes, copying previous weeks to save time. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Nothing yet. Haven't used all the features yet. If all I ever use is scheduling and lists, I'm happy with it, though. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Waste less time scheduling the hard way. There are way better ways to spend time. Why reprint lists over and over, when staff can access a fresh list on a tablet, or phone, depending on your policies. I love not having to look for time off request paperwork. I love having an easy way to tell the load team when the truck is earlty, or late! **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easier scheduling saves sooo much time. Simple limitation of time off requests in a given work group, so not too many are able to ask off at the same time. I love the text message blast feature, as well! At my last place, I implemented daily lists for varied roles as well. I'll add those here as well, in time! ### 4. Jolt Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt can be used to manage employees tasks and responsibilities and can also be used to monitor the success of the tasks required of them **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Not everything can be completed from a PC. Such as assigning tasks must be completed from an Ipad. I would prefer to have full access from both a PC and an Ipad **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use jolt to manage our maintenance team in our manufacturing facility. We create maintenance work requests that get submitted by floor supervisors and reviewed by the engineers once a notice is sent that the list for a request has been completed. From these requests the Engineers create a maintenance work order list to be completed by the maintenance team, which once completed notifies the engineering team and the supervisors when the list has been completed. ### 5. Amazing Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Garrett S. | Owner / Manager / Cook / Server / Busser, Restaurants, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** There are several reasons why I love JOLT but the #1 reason is the accountability of list. I am able to have list show up and completed when things are to get done. This is the whole reason I bought into Jolt in the first place. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I wish there were more features. Jolt lets me create a list but keeping track of 100 lists is difficult. I wish the product had more organization to it when it comes to list. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** I would get your feet wet with this product with just a management team then move into the team after your managers have an understanding of the product and services. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** When I first started with Jolt, I was trying to make sure projects and orders were done on time. Now with Jolt, I do not have that problem of forgetting another order again. I find my operations and productivity of my team more efficient. ### 6. Jolt App Schedule ROCKS! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bobbie M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** We currently use the Jolt App for scheduling our 15 employees. It saves us so much time! Now employees can swap shifts, ask for time off, give away a shift and set up their ongoing availability on their own. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** As far as dislikes, I really don't have any complaints because it is SO much better than the old "write it on the calendar method" that we were using. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** GIve it a try with a generic schedule before giving it to employees, then go for it! Once you get the feel for it, you'll be ready to launch it at your business! **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** It saves us so much time! Now employees can swap shifts, ask for time off, give away a shift and set up their ongoing availability on their own. Using the app makes it so easy to request days off, since you have your phone with you everywhere that you go. Now no one can say that they kept forgetting to list it on the calendar. ### 7. Innovative user friendly facility management program **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elizabeth H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Our company loves the ability to check in on stores without having to visit the physical location. With 7 quick service restaurants, it is impossible to be everywhere at once. With Jolt we can easily check each location's Logbook to see any notations made and how they were addressed. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** The time clock function could use some improvements, but Jolt has been very receptive to our feedback and has already made some improvements in just the few weeks we have been using the time clock function. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before implementing Jolt we didn't have a good way to do store checks. Every morning, afternoon, and night we expected our store management team to check store conditions and correct what they found to be deficient. However, we had no good way to check behind the store management to ensure this was being done. With Jolt we created checklists and have times set when they are due. We can easily check over these lists to ensure they are being completed. This is also true with taking temperatures for food. Jolt provides a very user-friendly temperature log system. ### 8. Jolt rocks and listens to their customers **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason M. | Owner, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I love the checklists for day-to-day operational needs in our Chick-fil-A restaurant, ability to quickly print pre-made labels (important because we use labels for every food item all throughout the day), and the fact that Jolt listens to customers about needs and functionality. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I would really love to have automated workflows (trigger-action), and after suggesting this in the forum, a product development rep reached out to me to spend time listening to what I would like to see and they're in process for building this functionality. So my dislike is something that is currently not there, but Jolt is working on integrating this functionality into the system, so they're doing something about this need. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Try it out. It's a great platform and they're working hard to improve functionality everyday. Like I said, they reached out to me directly when I added a suggestion and we had a screenshare conference call to test out upcoming functionality and to receive my feedback on it. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Daily organization of tasks, which is imperative in a restaurant. Quick and easy labeling to track food safety and quality; if we had to manually write every label, it would take forever, and Jolt helps keep this aspect quick and efficient, so labels are used always. ### 9. Intricate, but not overly complicated. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Harry A. | Sales Development Representative, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The UI for printing labels and accomplishing checklists is straightforward and easy to use on every device. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Sometimes when printing multiples of labels that print properly as singles, it will print a completely different label altogether. I'm sure it's just a bug that can easily be worked out. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Find others in your line of work that have already implemented Jolt and ask to copy their lists as a good starting point. You can trim and add from there. Starting from scratch can be a bit overwhelming with out a good outline to start with. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a one stop shop for labels and lists. All of our employees have access to the software not just at the label station, but on their phones as well as other store tablets. ### 10. Amazing Product - systemize many aspects of the business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew L. | Previous Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The product is close to perfect for the problems I had. Flexibility was my favorite feature. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Nothing about the product. I, as an owner, struggled with constantly making sure my staff used it but that is 100% my issue. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** I used Jolt up until I sold my business. If you are looking for an app to use to create checklists and systemize your restaurant/business, I strongly recommend Jolt. The product is so versatile and yet very easy to use. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making sure everything was done properly. Having one centralized location where all training materials could be stored and viewed. ### 11. Jolt - Multifunctionality in Food Service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** One of the things that I like the best about Jolt is it's multifunctionality. This program has the ability to do multiple things well. The first, is date code labeling. In the food service industry, this is critical to ensure that we are serving products within hold times and tracking it's shelf life. Secondly, Jolt has the ability create in depth checklists to ensure that tasks are being completed and hold team members accountable. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** One of the things that I dislike is the inability to customize checklists more in depth. The vast array of choices when it comes to a checklist item is great, but you can't further customize those choices. I would like the ability to do (for example) an in-compliance, out-of-compliance with the ability to add a short answer corrective action all within one checklist item. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have solved the problem of using day dots by using date code labeling. We have also tightened up our cleanliness schedules by using multiple checklists that show up at multiple points during the day. ### 12. Perfect for Food Truck, Catering & Restaurant **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt is very easy to use and has drastically improved our operations. It empowers our staff to effectively problem solve. We have directly seen a reduction in food costs and labor costs because of implementing Jolt. The ability to easy update information and communicate with staff at all of our locations from one central admin portal is invaluable. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** There are some features that we'd like to see added that aren't yet available, but I am confident that they will arrive soon because Jolt is constantly adding new features. The customer service team is very responsive and welcoming for suggestions for new features. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** With our food trucks and off site catering events, it's impossible to be everywhere at once. Jolt has allowed up to better oversee events taking place simultaneously at different locations. The communication and information sharing features also empowers our staff to better problem solve and complete their job duties correctly, with a reference easily available to them. In our restaurant and kitchen, Jolt has significantly improved our overall operations. Having food prep information readily available and the ability to properly label food with the prep and expiration date has improved the quality of our products and decreased our waste and overall food costs. When bringing on new team members, we routinely get complimented on how nice it is to have Jolt, compared to the operations and communications systems at their previous jobs. ### 13. Jolt has been really amazing so far, and their team is very helpful. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I like that it works as one big database and communication point for the staff as well as the management. It really has made monitoring employee productivity easier, and makes the employees more accountable as well. The lists are especially wonderful because I can make sure the building is being opened and closed properly, as well as cleaned properly just by having the staff follow the lists I create. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Just that it is still in beta in many ways, so all the kinks have not been worked out. There are some features I would like to see added in the future, but they are always adding new things and taking everyone's opinion into account. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Definitely try it out, but be willing to put in the time when setting up the app for your business and inputting all your information. The more you input and the more you use jolt, the more beneficial it becomes for your business. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have scheduling, time clocks, task lists, communication forums, training, etc. all in one place. This has been amazing. ### 14. Creativity Unleashed! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Boramy K. | Director Of Training, Restaurants, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The freedom to create anything your mind desires! Added accountability to assigned tasks, unlimited customizable options from task lists, forms, agreements, training procedures etc. It is a powerful tool. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Only main dislike is uncompleted lists, can start to pile up if say a QR Code isnt scanned and required. (If the QR code is missing and cannot be scanned, the user cannot complete/submit the list, and the list stays open. Really need to find an easier way to delete multiple incomplete lists. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** If you are considering Jolt, make sure to have someone that is very familiar with tech and administrative skills, as well as being experienced in all areas, you will be utilizing these task assignments. Starting up will take alot of time and patience, however once you start rolling, you can begin to fine tune as go by trial and error, and before you know it will integrated into your system, and the quality standards improve as you improve your utilization of Jolt! **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to create consistent results with added accountability, making it much easier for our Managers, Leaders, and Team Members. Im in charge of Training, and it is a vital part of my On Board Training for new Team Members. I have specific lists, that all new Team Members must be trained on, and I have Trainers assigned to the Jolt list to complete a training task list on whomever they are training. Extremely easy, and streamlined. ### 15. Great! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Checklists, Forms, Ease of Scheduling, Reports, and Logbook. Everything is all in one area so it makes everything easier. We have iPads all over our restaurants for checklists and any other need. We also use labels to mark all of our food to know when things need to be consumed and how long we have had something. I overall like this people everything is very easy to use. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I dislike that you cannot post each team schedule at different times. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Really easy to use! Everything is in the palm of your hand. Get rid of your excel sheets and time off calendars. Make everything digital because almost everyone has a smartphone now. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We solve a lot of issues with jolt. For example, we have disciplinary action forms, checklists to make sure everything gets done. We use Jolt to track our team for their attendance and what they have completed. ### 16. Jolt Is Great For Managers **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emily R. | Communications Director, Restaurants, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt gives management a way to ensure all employees are completing their tasks, creating accountability while they are on the clock. Jolt has significantly improved our team's communication strategy, allowing for simple communications between stores. Food safety wise, Jolt alerts us when items are out of temp, providing automated updates letting us know when there is an issue. Finally, Jolt gives us a place to save our training documents electronically so that everyone can access them in a convenient and timely manner. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Honestly, Jolt is a terrific product. I wouldn't change a thing. It was a terrific investment for our company. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Jolt allows for our administrative team to communicate seamlessly with staff in our stores. Where we once had to use paper to file issues, we now have an electronic system that is more streamlined and easier to navigate. ### 17. Jolt is fantastic for restaurants! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I love the ease of creating checklists and label databases for all forms of kitchen activities, such as safety and quality checks, as well as the ease of usage in practice. Absolutely fantastic platform and format. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** There isn't too much about jolt i can say i dislike- sometimes organizing the timing and scheduling layouts can be confusing but once you get the hang of it its fine. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Have plenty of iPads and other devices! You can use jolt on a ton of platforms and formats and the more you have the easier it is to use around your store! **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping up with safety checklists and quality throughout every single day to insure our guests are getting the safest and most delicious experience possible in every bit of food we serve. ### 18. Jolt has been quite effective for us. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeffrey S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I like the ability to assign specific tasks/ lists to specific employees. It allows us to track the progress of projects and day to day tasks at our plant. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I dislike that I cannot directly output data gathered by jolt lists. I'm sure your developers are working on this but it would certainly be nice to have that function **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** Export to excel would be awesome for our particular application of the system **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Employee day to day tasking, Preventative maintenance scheduling, maintenance work request/ work orders, and equipment startup checklists. ### 19. Extremely Useful Operations Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** With JOLT everything is available at your fingertips, scheduling, to do lists, even staff appraisals. It allows the operations department to send information to other departments at the touch of a button. Having used a vast array of other platforms in previous jobs, I must say JOLT is the best. On the rare occasion that we have technical issues JOLT’S support team are quick to respond and are always extremely helpful. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** If I had to pick one fault with JOLT, it would be that the mobile app and the IPAD app operate differently, IE - files can’t be opened in the mobile app. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes scheduling so much simpler, I have a template set up in JOLT which allows me to drag & drop shifts into available employees rota. ### 20. Decent yet complicated **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kasey H. | Chief People Officer, Staffing and Recruiting, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Very versatile. We became paperless because of this system. We use jolt for checklists (operations) and back office (terminations, minors, etc). **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Organization within the program. We created a lot of checklists, therefore, our page get's inundated. Jolt could benefit from a sort of filing system for lists. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** I would recommend training all leadership on how to use jolt but have one main administrator. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We went paperless. It's pretty easy to use overall. One of the main benefits is that systems don't end with people now that we have jolt. Jolt is the system. ### 21. Jolt is perfect for your business! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martha-Abigail G. | Team leader, Restaurants, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I'm a lists person, but working in the fast food industry doesn't give you time to make these lists. Jolt is great because it already has the lists made up, you just have to check off the items **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I don't like that I get multiple email alerts when tasks are left unchecked. I wish it would just be one email to include all the tasks. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** It simplifies all the daily tasks of your business. It will make your life so much easier! **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're making sure all our daily tasks get done. It helps the other team members take initiative in doing the tasks so that I as a manager don't have to constantly be thinking about delegating tasks ### 22. The JOLT platform allows us owners and managers efficiently run specific areas of our business **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** We love the "scheduling" feature the best by far. This platform allows us and our employees to seamlessly interact with their schedules at all times. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** The "temperature log." Not always can we take and enter our food temperatures at the exact times the platform needs us to. After a while, the log will not allow us to enter the temps in after the fact and shows delinquency. This is difficult to explain during auditing. Because of this, we have implemented a paper log. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** I recommend especially from the scheduling and shift-management piece. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Employee scheduling and shift management has been the biggest issue solved. This program allows our employees to interact with their shifts and solve time-off issues. ### 23. Jolt Helped me stay organized! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel G. | Assistant General Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Awesome way to create better accountability by having our staff ensure they are validating daily checklist and audits. Even enjoy the fact that you can attach photos and comments in case you need to get into detail about certain discrepancies. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Not much to dislike. I think there is room for improvement, creating a more user friendly interface. **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** If you need help creating habits and systems. Jolt is the way to go. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having better accountability. ### 24. Great Organization Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jamie W. | Director Of Staff Development, Consumer Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** We appreciate the accountability established with the notification system. It helps ensure things are getting done when you have multiple leaders running a shift at the same time. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** The content creation was confusing at first, but what I would really like to see is the ability to input items on a list that recur at different intervals (i.e. only have a line item show up on a Monday). **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Organization, cleaning and accountability ### 25. Helpfull with scheduling and tasks **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lana T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I like the display views and ability to see whole schedule at once **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I dislike that the repetition sets must be put in by certain dates rather then say select tasks needed for this day if that makes sense. The repetition schedule just doesn't always work for random business **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** very helpful for setting up taskts, roles, and scheduling. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** not many business problems other then what I stated in what I dislike. ### 26. Jolt has changed the way we operate completely **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The checklists we have created for opening and closing mean we have a complete and comprehensive record of safety checks with the ability to pick up any issues on the way through. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I just wish the labour costs gave us an option to use the GBP symbol rather than the USD symbol, **Recommendations to others considering Jolt:** It will do more than you can think but you need to give it some time, I would recommend speaking to another user of JOLT to enable you to gain the most out of it. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are saving lots of time and things are being picked up there and then with an automatic notification on the logbook. ### 27. Great product for tracking items needing to be completed. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** The ease of being able to complete the lists through the app. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** When completing a list. If something is not required to be completed and I leave it blank I still receive an email that the list was not completed after I submit. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it for important ride inspections every morning. It has saved us a ton of manual paperwork and its easier to track issues. ### 28. Great Product, Limited Improvements **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** Jolt is great at offering a nice bang for the buck. Between scheduling, labeling and checklists, it is a jack of all trades. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** Unfortunately, simple tasks such as submitting availability and requesting time off are very tedious and not intuitive at all. It is very confusing and after submitting requests for this to change, years ago, it is still the same. The product does not seem to be adapting to challenges and is not developing to improve processes that team members need to use daily. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great affordable solution to labeling and scheduling. ### 29. Convenience Store use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erin E. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Jolt?** I like that there are lists that I create for my employees to go by and be checking. Makes them look for the things that I would be looking for when doing a managers walk. **What do you dislike about Jolt?** I do not like the scheduling feature. However I am very new to it and have not played around with it much. **What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving daily struggles with doing the right things at the right times. It has helped my employees to look at the business like I look at the business ### 30.
