Probiz Software
Probiz Software was started by a team with significant IT and Chick-fil-A experience. The initial goal was to help with Chicken tracking & HR Accountability, but our mindset changed when we saw a need for additional modules leading to the 12 modules shown below. Here is a Demo Video or Probiz being used in a local store.
NOTE: We are a certified 3RD party vendor for Chick-fil-A corporate and our logo now shows under “Vendors you can partner with”.This led to the creation of the following modules being used in stores today:
1 – Checklist module: (In Store Demo Video) – Training
How it works: Checklist are displayed on an iPad (at designated times) where team members check them off when complete. You can set up a checklist by location (FOH, Dining Room, Raw chicken area, or by team member positional responsibilities (bagger, drinks, DRA, breading). Each checklist can be completed independent of the others shown on the screen. On the initial setup we can clone the most used checklist for either Location or positional store types.
NOTE: We recently addedDirect Tasksto this section to allow management to assign a Direct task to an employee for something that needs to be done immediately. Direct tasks are not related to the Checklist but are built into the system. A task is assigned to an employee and the employee is sent to the task via our messaging app to let them know the task needs to be completed within a set time period. Direct Tasks Demo Video.
Purpose: to ensure tasks are being completed while creating team member and leadership accountability.
Benefit: Checklists hold team members accountable for store tasks & list assuring restaurants stay clean to help increase guest satisfaction.
