Overall, I am happy with the experience. There are some options that I would like to have added, but it is saving me some time.

This software can be a bit confusing to learn, including learning how to navigating through all of the features.

My most favorite feature of Jolt would be its assistance in helping the team meet food safety.

We also love the referral program. We haven't had anyone actually join yet, but we recommend Jolt to everyone.

It can be difficult to delete a lost from the daily to-do checklist once it has been added.

It has extreme customization and it is easy to print out the inspections for the night crew and the users are happy with a program that is quick and easy to use.

Customer support has been very helpful to us and he is always keeping up with the workflow. Overall it has been an AWESOME experience.

Found the instructions and support functions excellent and made it easy to navigate awesome support.

I love the functionality of the product. You can customize everything.

If youre wondering if it would be a good investment, the answer is yes. I enjoy using this program as it makes me job a lot easier and better manageable.

I have cut my time that is spent making the schedule down from the previous program I used.

Scheduling is great and easy to use. The systemisation use in our workplace has been excellent.

The price is great and the training/support has been top notch. There is a ton of flexibility and customization in the system and we are really excited about all of the things Jolt can help us do.

I thought I had walked into the wrong restaurant.

I have a rapidly growing food business and have been looking for a solution that would work well with our team ensuring that nothing goes astray.

Jolt made the initial setup and content migration for our test account simple. Store level integration was seamless and the team loves using the platform.

The modular ability of being able to build what you need is great. Setting up pushes for the lists and forms at specific times is a great tool to help keep the team on track daily.

Support from the Jolt team is amazing, as they help guide you through your initial training  and ongoing training as you continue to learn the functionality of their system.

Jolt is amazing, I've used it with several companies that I have worked for and it is the only program I CONTINUALLY RECCOMEND. Great program and even better customer service.

Cost per month is really high.I have to pay custom duties here in Canada that adds up.

The software, in our experience, is offline often.

Slow if you try to checkout clients and look at the appointment sometimes crash.

I like the integration  of the web site and our appointment calendar, the customer service of the company.

Its pretty easy to use the basic functions. The help desk is prompt and available 24hours.

Most of our students catch on quick with the basics of adding appointments and client services, cashing out and general navigation is great.

I love looking up reports on how the salon is doing as a whole as well as individual. I like in a second being able to tell a client when she last visited us what she paid ect.

Very powerful with good reporting  and great customer support.

Unfortunately I am forced to use this overpriced, hard to use software because my franchisor has made it mandatory and I have no choice.

It is my no means a user friendly interface. My stylists and staff complain about using this product on a daily basis.

I love the clean and professional look of shortcuts.

The staff are always pleasant and helpful however they have a policy of trying to tie you in to long contracts without being clear about it.

Configuration issues aplenty and sometime impossible to track down what is actually happening. Poor integrations with some providers and tools.

With all the clients in our system we should have more marketing options. There are a lot of weird cliches that’s happen at end of day.

I also love the 24/7 customer care that’s available at any time if you need them.

I love the ease of use of this product. Our daily day to day operation would be so much more difficult without Shortcuts.

I like that setting appointments and checking out are pretty easy.

Overall pleased with service. The ability to login and see appointments and have online booking has been very beneficial.

Need to work on the texting part, has a few problems.

Comparatively other softwares outsources this feature  thus resulting in added cost/each campaign. Genuine and enthusiastic.

User friendly and great customer service/help desk.

User friendly,  great support and integration with other software.

Text Messaging to confirm our clients appointments has made it less time consuming for our receptionists, saved us money each month, and has opened up our phone lines.

When trying to sell the product they are super nice.

They have horrible business practices and are only the there to milk you for as much money as possible.

It encompasses what other brands do alacart into one easy to use, comprehensive data and  growth oriented software solutions.

Best visually that is available and easy to use.

Terrible service and very expensive experience.

I love how easy Shortcuts is to use. When I do have a problem, the support staff are very helpful.

The reporting feature is limited, scheduling employees can be confusing.

Booking system is archaic and online booking is even worse.

We just learned about the mobile cloud and it is awesome.
