Server Quiz Software That Scales Past One Location

Multi-location is where "quiz" turns into "quiz software." Different problem set entirely.

A single restaurant runs a server quiz with a tool. A 5-location operation runs server quiz software — because the problems multiply: per-location menus, per-location managers, per-location compliance records, audit-ready exports for HR and insurance. ShiftTrained is server quiz software built for that scale: org-level admin, location-level dashboards, role-based access for managers and viewers, and clean CSV exports that drop into HRIS pipelines without re-formatting.

Multi-location admin without the chaos

The owner sees every location's scores in one dashboard. Each location's GM sees only their own. Add a new location? Same playbook ports automatically. Add a manager? Set their role (admin, manager, viewer) and they're scoped correctly. None of this requires a 6-week implementation — it's configured in your settings panel in 15 minutes per location.

Role-based access (RBAC) baked in

Owner role: full org access. Admin: full location access including billing. Manager: quiz creation, employee management, but no billing. Viewer: read-only dashboard access. The four-role hierarchy fits how restaurant orgs actually work — owners delegate operations but keep billing. Compare to a generic LMS that forces a corporate "learner / manager / admin" model that doesn't map to restaurant reality.

Audit-ready compliance records

Every quiz attempt creates a permanent record: server, date, score, menu version, per-question correctness. CSV export by date range, by server, by location, by quiz. Insurance carriers consume the format directly for their training-evidence audits. HR systems pipe it into employee records. The record is the moat — it's the "proof of training" piece an attorney needs if an allergen incident escalates. See allergen training for the safety angle.

Pricing for software, not platform

Pro at $49 USD/mo handles up to 40 employees + 5 menus + 1 location. Max at $99 USD/mo handles up to 99 employees + 3 locations. Enterprise (10+ locations) is custom. The pricing is built for the operator buying server quiz software, not the enterprise procuring an LMS. See full pricing.

Try the multi-location flow

Best evaluation path: sign up Pro, add two test locations with different menus, see how the dashboard separates them. The multi-location architecture should feel obvious in 15 minutes. Start a free trial — no credit card required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is server quiz software different from a server quiz app?

App emphasizes the mobile delivery experience for the server. Software emphasizes the operator's admin layer — multi-location, RBAC, compliance, exports. Same engine. Different posture for the buyer.

Does it integrate with our HRIS?

Direct integrations are on the roadmap. Today, CSV export is the bridge — most HRIS platforms accept the format we emit. Custom API access is available on Enterprise plans.

What's the multi-location limit?

Max plan supports 3 locations natively. Enterprise (10+ locations) is the unlimited tier — custom pricing, custom rollout, custom support. Contact for Enterprise pricing.
