What do you like best about Jolt?

Jolt offers more than we choose to use at this time.

Jolt Digital Food Safety with the cooler/freezer sensors added is so easy.

In addition, we use the Shift Management checklists. Their standard lists provided are great AND customization to add lists makes this perfect.

As one of the first to adopt Jolt in the McDonald's system, we have never been disappointed. When we have a need or concern, Jolt team makes it a priority as they do for all clients.

Additionally, our local Chicago Jolt Rep - Ryan Witek - has been a great addition to the Jolt team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jolt?

Nothing disliked about the company, product or staff.

We only know what we know... until we find something we did not know, yet.

Then, Jolt team steps up to find an answer for us. :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?

Really have not been any "problems". When we encounter an opportunity or the the technology has some kind of event, Jolt team is on it quickly.

My observation of 40 years in the industry... Jolt seems to have the least technical issues of any company we have worked with.

I write that statement, including working with items in test with Jolt. Tech issues are very few. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jolt?

It was only a few years ago that McDonald's completed food safety by pen and paper. In these last few years, the transition to using Jolt technology has revolutionized the way we complete the most important audit in our business, the food we sell. Personally, in our organization, we have been grateful for the easy-to-use platform and the daily emails we receive with a status overview of all 9 of our restaurants.

I also lead a team for McDonald's Corporate that spans across Southern California and we all are appreciative of this relationship and are excited to watch it further evolve in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jolt?

If I were to identify an opportunity, it would be related to wifi. In some of our store locations, the wifi connection is not as fast as it could be. This can at times affect Jolt technology (or any tech for that matter) and can make some of the food safety process slightly slower than usual. There are several workarounds and while this is not a Jolt technology issue, it is one of the few obstacles we face now that we have this technology in our stores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us, Jolt helps streamline our food safety process. This benefits us with time saved, increased accountability and a permanent track record which we can always refer back to when needed.

Also, from the Corporate perspective, you can implement broad changes for the entire country overnight by implementing different constraints to meet new requirements. It helps us to all stay uniform as the McDonald's brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thebility to follow up without being at a location. CSM knowledge. Customizable lists. Set up in the beginning was fully supported. Special training for myself as the admin when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jolt?

I call it "Tablet Tapping" wich is like pencil whipping. We have had technology issues that will hold up operations but our CSM's strive to correct it when they are aware. Lastly, not being able to customize a McDonald;s form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jolt?

JOLT's customer service has been great! They have a team of experts that help to resolve all of your issues from lists, to labels, to settings and beyond.

JOLT helps me to keep my business running efficiently & eliminating any room for errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jolt?

My only suggestion for improvement with JOLT is the ability to customize the lists more. Having the option to select from different layouts, such as a chart/calendar view, and attaching more than one file from the information library (i.e. a pdf & video). The lists we have created for our business could be better. Not every company operates on just a simple checklist to be repeated daily or weekly; they need to be customized from time to time, depending on the nature of the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our JOLT customer service manager is currently brining a couple of requests to the attention of their development team:

1) Simplifying the process for creating a label template, so it is more 'user friendly'

2) Reviewing different features within the 'Lists' so we can customize them more to meet our businesses day to day operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service has been outstanding with Jolt. They are very responsive. And believe it or not, the people I call actually answer the phone if they are available. I always get a reply to my emails in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jolt?

I have not had one complaint with Jolt. It's been a wonderful solution for us. They have grown recently and I, like everyone else, don't like change, there have been many new people at Jolt, and I miss those who have left, but the new people coming in are doing an excellent job filling big shoes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?

Last night before closing I got a warning that the UT Wing Cooler was running warm, I was able to have the guys move the 10 cases of chicken wings out of this cooler before they left. In the morning, the wing cooler was not operational, and we were able to save all that product. Thank you, Jolt! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jolt?

Without Kristen, I would have been LOST and overwhelmed. Many features can be easily overlooked, and multiple steps must be learned. Having a good representative makes all the difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jolt solving and how is that benefiting you?

Personally, we needed to revise multiple tasks lists that were not being completed, and we also needed a new way to track automatic orders. Kristen was able to teach me how to do both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
