In restaurants, every shift tells a story.
When people think of Shifty, they often think “training app.” And yes, training is where we shine but it’s only the beginning. Shifty was built to support restaurant teams every shift, every day, in real time.
That’s where Checklists come in.
At a glance, checklists might seem like just another operational task. But in the chaos of a restaurant shift, they’re lifelines. They’re how teams align, stay consistent, and deliver a great guest experience no matter who’s on the floor.
Shifty’s checklists do more than remind someone to refill the ice bin. They build habits, reinforce training, and give managers real-time visibility into what’s been done and what hasn’t. They’re visual, mobile-friendly, and lightning fast, because your team moves fast, and your tech should too.
Compare that to legacy platforms like Jolt.

Why Are Restaurants Making the Shift?
White-glove Implementation
You don’t need a team of tech pros to get started. We handle everything, from setup to launch, and tailor it to your restaurant’s needs at no extra cost.
Designed for How Teams Actually Work
Your team doesn’t have time to read a 10-page SOP. Shifty turns your existing training into bite-sized, visual, and mobile-first formats that get remembered and used.
Built by Restaurant People
We’re not a general-purpose checklist company. Shifty is 100% restaurant-focused, with real operators behind the scenes and support from people who’ve walked in your shoes.
A Fast Platform Your Team Will Actually Use
If the app’s slow or confusing, your team won’t touch it. Shifty’s clean and intuitive design means your staff can find what they need quickly, so they can get back to taking care of guests.
The Bottom Line
Jolt digitizes tasks. Shifty empowers teams.
Checklists are just one part of that—but they matter. With Shifty, your checklists become more than task trackers. They’re training tools, culture builders, and confidence boosters. They reinforce what matters, hold everyone accountable, and keep your whole team aligned.
That’s not just a feature. That’s a shift in how your restaurant runs.
