Upload your menu. PDF, Word doc, or just a phone photo of the printed menu. Our AI reads every item, ingredient, price, and allergen, then generates 100 to 400 quiz questions in just minutes, all optimized for mobile. Your staff trains on their own phones, no app to install, no QR code dance. How it actually works for a busy restaurant: • Owner or manager uploads the menu in under a minute • Reviews the AI generated questions, edits or accepts • Sends a quiz link to the team via SMS or email • Staff trains anywhere, break room, bus, before shift • Leaderboards make it competitive, badges keep it fun • Manager sees who knows the menu and who needs help Built for the realities of front of house: • Allergen aware, every question flagged for cross contamination risk • Wine pairings, tasting notes, seasonal specials all auto generated • Daily specials? Snap a photo of the handwritten board, get a fresh quiz in minutes • Works on the cheapest Android phone on weak restaurant WiFi • Multiple languages supported for diverse teams, coming soon What our customers see: • 34% increase in wine sales at one Chicago restaurant, both bottle and by the glass • 11% check total lift after staff got confident discussing the menu • Voluntary retake rates. Servers ASK to take the quiz again because they want to win the leaderboard Built by Terry Psaltakis, who spent more than 30 years in restaurants, every role from dishwasher to operator across more than 20 concepts. The methodology behind ShiftTrained is grounded in Cornell hospitality research and NRA backed training principles, packaged into a tool that fits how restaurants actually work. Free trial, no credit card. Plans start at $29 per month for one location. Pro and Max tiers add multiple locations, multiple managers, and unlimited menus. If your staff has ever frozen when a guest asks what is in a dish, that is what we fix. > > Verdict: Rated **5.0/5** by 2 users.

I didnt have a copy of my menu digital, so I snapped a picture of the menu uploaded that and in minutes it had created a quiz that my staff could take right away\! > > **Cons**: That I didn't find it faster and tried to do this very thing with paper and pencil and that didn't go anywhere\! > > It really is like a breath of fresh air\! It does exactly what it says it does\! I uploaded my food and drink menus and I had quizzes ready for my staff. I copied the link and sent it through our messaging app and everyone was taking the quizzes\! ----- ### "Easy even for Non-Technical people to get going" — 5.0/5 > **Tom** | *1 June 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How easy it was for a non-technical restaurant guy to create quizzes for my staff to take in minutes. > > **Cons**: I really can't find anything bad to say about it, it does what it says and its a good value.
