Solutions · Quick Service Restaurants
Shift-ready in two days, not two weeks.
Shifty gets QSR teams trained and contributing faster: mobile-first onboarding paths, menu knowledge, and shift checklists built for the pace of quick service.
Trusted by leading restaurant operators
"It's that step-by-step training the manager sees as the trainee goes through it — checking off the list, viewing resources, completing each step. It's not just 'here's your checklist, go home and pretend you did it.' That two-way interaction is a gamechanger."
Do the math · QSR
QSR turnover is brutal. Shifty turns even a 20% drop into serious margin.
At ~$5,684 per replaced employee, a 20-store QSR brand recovers ~$100K+ a year from a modest turnover dip.
What changes
The three things quick service restaurants stop doing once they have Shifty.
Two weeks to shift-ready is two weeks you don't have.
By the time the new hire is dialed in, half the cohort has already quit. You're running short, paying overtime, and starting the cycle again on Monday.
With Shifty · Onboarding built for QSR pace.
Day-one ready, on their phone, before they clock in.
Short, role-specific paths your team completes before the first real shift. Menu knowledge with allergen tags, food-safety standards, and speed-of-service expectations, sized for a 20-minute pre-shift window.

Crew Progress
Every shift hits the bar a little differently.
Open at 6, lunch rush by 11, close by 11pm, and somewhere in there standards slip. You only find out when a drive-thru time runs long or a guest complaint lands on Monday.
With Shifty · Shift consistency, every location.
Same checklist. Same standard. Every open, every close.
Time-based opening and closing checklists with photo proof and timestamps. Managers see it actually happened, not just that someone said it did.

Just nowIncomplete Checklist: Close-out
The Close-out Shift Lead checklist at Crave Shack · Store #04 was not completed by the 11:30 PM deadline. 2 items require attention.
The cost of turnover is multiplying on you.
Restaurant turnover runs at 75%. At $5,684 per replacement, every week of slow onboarding is a line item, and it's only getting bigger.
With Shifty · Make the math work for you.
Cut training time. Cut the cost of churn.
Speed onboarding to days, not weeks. Reinforce knowledge with Pop Quizzes between shifts. Every hour shaved off the training cycle is profit you keep instead of repaying every two months.
A day in the life
A QSR week, with Shifty.
In quick service, the math is unforgiving. Here's what a week looks like when onboarding, checklists, and reinforcement run on the same platform.
Two new hires start. They've already completed the cashier path on their phones over the weekend: allergen tags, drive-thru flow, and speed-of-service standards. Their first shift is shadow, not orientation.
Pre-shift Pop Quiz on the new LTO. The team takes it between tickets. Two crew members score under 70%, so the GM reassigns them the module before they hit the line.
Friday close. The closing checklist gets completed, signed, and photo-verified on a phone. The opening crew arrives Saturday to a clean store. No handoff text chain. No morning surprises.
Product in practice
Built for the pace of the drive-thru.
QSR doesn't have time for sit-down training and binders. Shifty puts the path, the checklist, and the knowledge check in 20-minute increments, the way the floor actually runs.
- Phone-first onboarding paths short enough to fit a pre-shift window
- Time-based open/close checklists with photo proof and timestamps
- Pop Quizzes and flashcards for menu, allergens, and LTO reinforcement
