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.
