Connect your POS and your menu trains your staff for you
Two big ones shipped, and they belong together: ShiftTrained now connects directly to Toast and Square.
Here's the short version. Your menu already lives in your POS — every item, every price, every description you've already typed in. So why would you type it again into a training tool? Connect your POS once and your menu trains your staff on its own.
## Connect once, quiz in minutes Connect Toast or Square from inside ShiftTrained. Square is a single click — you authorize us from your Square account and you're sent right back, connected. Toast takes about a minute. The moment you're in, we pull your live menu and the AI writes 100 to 400 quiz questions from your real items, fact-checked and grouped by section. A few minutes later your staff has a quiz waiting on their phone.
## The part nobody expects: the menu maintains itself Change a price, 86 an item, add a special — ShiftTrained keeps up. We retire the questions that no longer apply, write new ones for what you added, and flag the change so nobody's being quizzed on a dish you pulled three weeks ago. Your training stays exactly as current as your menu, because it is your menu.
That's the buggy-whip moment for restaurant training. The old way was a binder that went stale the day you printed it. The new way updates itself every time you touch your POS.
## It pulls your team, too Your POS already knows who works for you. We read your active roster so you're not re-keying names into another system — you just pick who to train. Building your roster is always free; you only pay as your team grows and you actually send training.
## A note on drinks Toast and Square are excellent for food — names, descriptions, prices, all clean. Most cocktail recipes don't live in a POS, so for a cocktail-heavy bar you can keep those on a quick photo or PDF upload and let the POS handle the food. Either way, you can turn your spirits list into a Know Your Brands quiz so your bartenders know every bottle on the shelf.
We're not trying to replace your POS — it runs your restaurant. We're the layer that turns the menu inside it into a team that actually knows it.
