Implementation Doesn’t Have to Be a Heavy Lift: How Shifty Does It for You 😘

Written by The Shifty Team | Jul 31, 2025 5:41:53 PM

If the word implementation makes your stomach turn, you’re not alone.

For restaurant leaders, rolling out new technology can feel like just another item on an already impossible to-do list. And let’s face it: a lot of tools expect operators to figure it out themselves—with little support and even less time.

At Shifty, we know that story all too well. That’s why we built our implementation process to work with restaurants, not against them.

We don’t just give you a platform, we give you a partner.

 

Why Implementation Fails (and How Shifty Fixes It)

Most restaurant tech fails not because it’s bad tech, but because it assumes managers have the time and bandwidth to implement it. That’s rarely the case.

Beth, our founder, spent over 35 years opening and running full-service restaurants. She’s been in your shoes—and she designed Shifty to solve the very pain points she faced.

So instead of dumping a system in your lap and saying “good luck,” our team takes care of the entire setup for you.

 

 

What We Handle (So You Don’t Have To)

1. Custom Site Build-Out

We build your training hub around your operation: menus, recipes, stations, and more:

  • Full menu with allergens and dietary info

  • Bar menu, cocktail recipes, and wines-by-the-glass

  • Prep recipes and build sheets

  • Flashcards and training content included (customized to your needs)

  • Cross-sell and pairing recommendations

  • Pre-loaded templates to get you started fast

 

2. Manager Training

Once everything is ready to go, we train your managers and key team members so they’re confident from day one:

  • We host a full walk-through of your location’s training program

  • We lead your initial manager training session

  • Your team leaves knowing exactly how to use Shifty

 

3. Ongoing Support (Because Things Always Come Up)

Tech is only helpful if it comes with a human touch. You’ll get:

  • A direct account contact for any questions or changes

  • 24/7 support from people who’ve worked in restaurants, not call centers

  • Regular check-ins to ensure things are working the way you need them to

 

 

You Don’t Need a Big Team—You Just Need Shifty

Whether you run one location or fifty, Shifty scales with you because we do the work. We’ve seen firsthand how much smoother training runs when implementation is done right—and we’re here to make sure that happens for you.

So if you’ve been putting off making a change because “we don’t have time to roll it out”… this is your sign that now is the right time.

We’ll take it from here.
