In the fast-paced restaurant industry, having real-time access to information can make a world of difference in operational efficiency and customer service. Yet, many frontline workers lack the tools needed to instantly access essential job-related knowledge – like how many pumps go in a pumpkin spice latte or which menu items are gluten-free – without consulting a handbook, website, or distracting a colleague.
