The Best Way to Train Your
Restaurant Staff

No app, no download, no friction. Quizzes run in any phone browser, Safari, Chrome, whatever's already on their phone. They tap a link from a text or email, take the quiz, done. We built it this way because asking servers to install another app is where adoption dies.

ShiftTrained integrates directly with Toast and Square. Connect your POS in a few clicks and we pull your live menu, the items, prices, descriptions, and photos, then build the training quiz from it automatically. Your team roster can come straight from the POS too, and the training stays current as the menu changes. No POS, or running a system we don't support yet? Upload your menu directly, that always works.

If your POS is connected, the menu syncs automatically and the questions update on their own. If you upload menus manually, just re-upload the new one and our AI regenerates the question bank in minutes. We built this because menus change every season, every special, every supplier swap.

Yes. ShiftTrained can put a dish photo right on the question, pulled from your POS item images or uploaded by you, so staff learn to recognize the plate, not just memorize the name. It's the difference between knowing the word "Caprese" and knowing what to carry to the table.

Yes. Know Your Brands builds a quiz from your spirits, beer, and wine list, including which brands you stock and, just as important, which ones you don't. When a guest asks for something specific, your bartender knows the answer instead of guessing.

Yes. Upload your handbook, service standards, or steps-of-service guide and ShiftTrained generates a quiz from it the same way it does for a menu. Anything you can put in a document, your team can be trained and tested on.

Upload your menu or connect your POS, watch the AI work, send your team the link, usually a single afternoon. Big menus take longer to generate questions, smaller menus are faster. Either way you go from "I should train my staff" to "staff is taking quizzes on their phones" the same day.

Not at all, and please don't. Upload the test you already use and we digitize it exactly as written, your questions with your answers, so your staff takes YOUR exam on their phone and it grades itself. You put real work into that test. It deserves better than a photocopier.

We'll flag those questions and ask you to fill in the answer rather than guessing at it, and we tell you exactly which ones so it takes a minute. Allergy questions are the one place we never draft an answer at all, ever. If your document doesn't say it plainly, a human confirms it before it reaches a single server.

No.  We only quiz what your menu actually says.  If it states an allergen, a gluten-free mark or a vegetarian dish, we turn that into questions exactly as printed.  If it doesn’t mention them, we don’t invent them — a guessed allergen answer is worse than no answer at all.  When allergens matter and they aren’t on your menu, upload your allergen sheet and we’ll build a quiz from that.

Both, on every plan including the free trial.  Edit any question, fix an answer, delete the ones that don't fit your house, or write your own from scratch.  Then build whatever quiz you want out of them: pick the exact questions, how many, the pass mark, and how long they get per question.  Most owners end up with several, a wine quiz for the bar, an allergen quiz for the floor, a short one for new hires, all off the same menu.  What we build for you is a first draft, not a final exam.  Our AI does the typing so you don't spend a Sunday writing questions, but it is your menu and your standards, so it is your quiz.

As many as your menu genuinely supports. A big menu with full descriptions produces hundreds. A one-page dessert card produces a focused handful, and that's the right answer for a one-page dessert card. Our AI writes a question for every real detail worth knowing and then stops, because forty questions your staff can actually use beats four hundred with filler in them.
