Restaurant Menu Rollout Training
By Terry Psaltakis — Founder, ShiftTrained
Menu rollouts (seasonal changes, LTOs, full menu refreshes) are a coordination challenge. Your team needs the new menu in their heads before launch night. The traditional method (a printed sheet, a 5-minute pre-shift) doesn't survive contact with reality. ShiftTrained automates the training side of menu rollouts.
