Staff training for restaurants
The app your staff checks at clock-in.
Tonight's specials and 86 list on every phone. Your menu, specs and steps of service, learned like a game. And a dashboard that shows you who actually knows it.
14 days free, no card to start. Staff need no app and no account: they scan a code and they're in.
86'd before the first ticket
What's inside
Everything your team needs to be ready for the floor
Built behind a real bar first. Every screen is your own menu, specs and standards.
Start strong
New hires learn your menu before their first shift
Each pack starts with the cards to study, then levels that climb from one missing ingredient to the whole recipe blanked out. The card never gives the answer away, so a good score means they actually know it.
- Study mode to flip through every card first
- Anything they miss comes back before the level ends
- Assignments like "everyone passes Level 4 by Friday"
Stay sharp
A reason to open it on a slow Tuesday
Day streaks, badges and a weekly leaderboard turn practice into a habit, and shout-outs let the whole team see who's putting in the work. Each level counts once at its best, so it rewards knowing the menu, not grinding Level 1.
- Streaks, badges and shout-outs
- Stars for percent right, not for luck
- A quick check on tonight's specials, built for them automatically
Have the answer ready
Two letters, and the whole card is on their phone
Mid-shift and blanking on a drink? Lookup searches every card in your packs. Guest wants something dry, sweet or oaky? Tap the chip and see what fits from your own menu.
- Works for drinks, dishes, wine, beer and steps of service
- A Spanish copy of any pack in one tap, reviewed by you
mid-shift, mid-blank
Never guess on allergies
An allergy drill built from your own cards
"The guest at table 12 has a gluten allergy." Which dish has to stay off the plate? The drill uses only what your cards declare. If a card says "verify" or "shared fryer," that dish is never offered as the safe choice. When in doubt, the house rule is the same as yours: stop the plate and ask the chef.
For the whole house
One app for the bar, the line and the floor
Bartenders
Specs, pours and garnish, from "name the missing ingredient" to every measure blanked at once.
Cooks
Recipes with stations, yields, allergens, method and plating, quizzed the same way.
Servers
Your steps of service, in order: what comes next at the table, plus wine and beer basics.
For managers
Good training makes you look good
See who knows the menu before service, not after a bad table. Thirty seconds before each shift is all it asks of you.
scored on what they know
Nobody types recipes
Snap photos of the binder, upload a PDF, or paste your menu link. You check every card before anything goes live.
Tonight's board in thirty seconds
Post specials and a note before service. 86s save the moment you tap, and approved staff can call them from the floor.
Know who's ready
Percent right and time for every run, each person's streak and badges, and who's done this week's assignment and who's dragging.
Turnover-proof
One join code for the whole staff. Rename someone, remove someone who left, and swap the code in a tap.
Your house, your way
Start from ready-made cocktail, kitchen, wine, beer and steps-of-service packs, then make every card your own.
Walled off
Every restaurant's content and scores are kept apart at the database, not by promises.

Questions
Before you ask
Do my staff have to download an app?
No. It opens in their phone's browser from your QR code or a link, and they can add it to their home screen. No app store, no account, no password to forget.
We don't have our recipes written down.
Photograph whatever you have, even handwritten specs or a binder page, or upload your menu PDF. The cards come back for you to check before anyone sees them. Or start from our packs and edit.
Half my kitchen speaks Spanish.
Any pack can be copied into Spanish in one tap. You review the copy, publish it, and staff pick the language they want.
What does it cost after the trial?
$79 a month for each location, with every feature and unlimited staff. If the trial ends before you subscribe, staff see that training is paused, and nothing you built is lost.
What about the walk-in with no signal?
After a phone opens Seasoned once with signal, it opens and works without it: training, Lookup, and the last board it saw. Scores wait on the phone until it finds signal again.
Can I see it first?
Tap Try the demo. It opens The Copper Fig, our made-up demo restaurant, with real packs, a live Tonight board and a team to compete against. Any first name works.
Make tonight's shift the best-trained one yet.
Set it up in one shift. Your staff will check it at the next clock-in.
