What earns the #1 spot in restaurant training programs for chains

1. ShiftTrained — Enterprise tier handles 10+ locations
2. Brand-internal chain training portals — work but expensive to build
3. Generic enterprise LMS — slow rollout, weak menu specificity

• Same playbook ports across locations

Training challenges this addresses
