Best Multi-Location Restaurant Training
By Terry Psaltakis — Founder, ShiftTrained
Multi-location training is where most restaurant operators give up. Each location's training drifts. New hires get inconsistent ramp-up. Corporate has no visibility into which stores are training well. The best multi-location training tool gives every location the same training bar from one corporate roster, with cross-location reporting that shows you exactly where the gaps are. ShiftTrained's Max plan handles this directly.
