Server Quiz Software That Scales Past One Location
By Terry Psaltakis, Founder, ShiftTrained
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 + unlimited menus + 1 location. Max at $99 USD/mo handles up to 99 employees, with unlimited managers and every feature included. 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.

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?
Single locations on Basic, Pro, and Max. Enterprise (10+ locations) is the unlimited tier, custom pricing, custom rollout, custom support. Contact for Enterprise pricing.
