Reduction in training time
Your employees bring your brand standards to life, but the guest experience is inconsistent across locations and formats.
Close these gaps and results become positive, repeatable and scalable—location by location.
Managers don’t have time to coach
Between onboarding a steady stream of new and seasonal hires and running day-to-day operations, coaching is the first thing to go. The result: a brand experience that shifts from location to location, depending on who's on the floor that day.
Onboarding is too slow…or too fast
In hotels and full-service restaurants, rushed onboarding puts undertrained staff in front of guests, denting NPS and review scores. In QSR and fast casual, new crew often hit the line within days, before any real procedural foundation. Neither extreme protects the brand.
Compliance is a real liability, not a checkbox
Safety and compliance protect the guest experience. Food safety, allergen handling and RBS/TIPS add regulatory risk—one violation can mean a closure, a lawsuit or a headline.
Turnover hits every format, some harder than others
Hospitality frontline turnover is high across the board—hotels run 70–80% annually, full-service restaurants 60–80%, QSR/fast casual over 100–150%. Teams are constantly re-onboarding staff, with no consistent process.
Built for how you run hospitality
Hotels, QSR, fast-casual and full service operations share the same frontline pressures, but each operates differently.
Axonify flexes to fit your business.

How Axonify closes the gap for hospitality teams
One platform, built for the frontline, from each team member’s first day to the moment they serve their first guest.
Immersive Microlearning
Training reaches everyone, not just those with an inbox.
Behavioral science and AI-powered tools simplify content creation and identify knowledge gaps, whether that’s a new menu rollout, an allergen update or a brand-standard refresh. Small bits of information mean employees complete training more efficiently and show up prepared. Reinforcement and gamification mean they retain knowledge and apply it consistently on the job. Max Coach gives employees AI-powered roleplay practice, so they show up to every shift knowledgeable and practiced.
Guided Execution
Ensure coordinated action at every location.
New initiatives like menu launches, promotions, policy changes, seasonal offers reach every property or restaurant. Communication tools keep teams in sync and execution tools ensure employee execution is coordinated across locations. Max Assistant delivers trusted, AI-powered answers specific to your operating principles and brand, right in the flow of work.
Insights & Action
Proof, not just participation.
Real-time data on completion, knowledge and confidence tied to the employees your managers are accountable for, so gaps get caught before they affect a guest experience or a health inspection. And with impact metrics, you can finally show how training delivers measurable business results.
AI for the Frontline
AI isn’t a feature we added. It’s the architecture we’re built around, showing up in two ways: intelligence built directly into our platform and Axonify’s intelligence integrated into the AI tools your enterprise already runs.
For administrators, Co-Creator turns SOPs, menus and brand manuals into training content and communications in minutes, while Agents surface readiness gaps before they reach the floor and recommend the action to close them. For employees and their leaders, Max Assistant acts as an onboarding resource for new hires and provides location-specific information and service expectations in the flow of work, in multiple languages. Max Coach is part of an employee’s personalized learning plan, identifying when an employee needs additional guidance and providing role-play support in multiple languages, so managers can focus on high-value personal coaching.

Hospitality Frontline Enablement Platform FAQ
How is Axonify different from a traditional Learning Management System (LMS)?
Unlike traditional learning management systems, which rely on a company email and scheduled training time, Axonify is built for frontline teams. Axonify reaches every employee on a mobile or desktop device, whether they’re full-time, part-time or seasonal, front of house or back of house and it doesn’t stop at training. It helps associates build confidence and perform, every day.
In addition to training, Axonify becomes the daily touchpoint for frontline teams, guiding them in their flow of work and providing communications and execution tools to make sure teams are in sync and coordinating action across locations. Axonify insights provide a greater understanding of staff readiness and confidence, which are critical to closing gaps before they form.
Does Axonify help with staff retention?
Yes. Structured, consistent onboarding measurably improves 90-day retention in hourly roles, a critical metric given how much turnover costs hospitality operators. Longo’s has seen a 7% decrease in turnover since adopting Axonify. Charcoal Group of Restaurants saw a significant reduction in turnover after replacing paper-based onboarding and testing with Axonify. The same pattern shows up consistently across formats. Read more about Longo’s or Charcoal Group’s story.
How does Axonify free up more time for managers?
Axonify provides signals to managers, so they understand employee readiness and confidence and can spend their valuable time addressing the most urgent needs instead of guessing who’s ready. Charcoal Group of Restaurants estimates it was spending $45K a year in manager time just marking paper knowledge tests before switching to Axonify’s automated checks. Axonify also frees up manager time for staff development and retention efforts. Read Charcoal Group’s story.
How quickly can new hires get up to speed on the floor?
Axonify onboards improves time to productivity, making it possible for new hires, including seasonal hires, to train while they are working, so they can get on the floor quickly. Floor & Decor saved an estimated $7.5M on onboarding costs, with 95% participation (read more here), and goeasy cut onboarding time by 82% (read more here).
How does Axonify improve time to productivity?
Axonify improves time to productivity in both multi-format environments, where employees need to be trained on different service models or menus and in high-turnover environments like QSR and fast casual.
Axonify creates personalized learning and reinforcement paths, where information is delivered in quick, easy-to-digest pieces that fit into daily routines. Features like “Fast Track” allow employees to test out of training they already know and get to work faster. Admins set the rules and employees choose their path, which leads to quicker onboarding and higher productivity.
Does Axonify work for part-time employees without a company device or email?
Yes. Axonify works anywhere, whether you want employees using a dedicated company mobile or desktop device or their own phones, so training doesn’t depend on who has an inbox or a spare minute in the break room.
How does Axonify get new initiatives, like promotions and policies, to every property consistently?
Axonify uses agentic AI to build launch plans: creating a plan, developing the training materials and generating the checklists and guides every property needs to execute consistently. Every employee gets the same communication and training while leaders receive insights and reporting team readiness across individual employees, teams and locations so they can address any gaps before launch day.
How does Axonify keep staff coordinated across locations?
Axonify provides communications tools to help HQ and Managers communicate with multiple employees in different locations. Heinen’s used Axonify Communications to keep 3,500 grocery associates informed in real time. The result was stronger frontline engagement and faster execution across the business: 95% participation across 20+ locations including full-time and part-time associates. Read more here.
How does Axonify help develop employees?
When leaders understand employee readiness, new channels open up for development. Max Coach is part of an employee’s personalized learning plan, identifying when an employee needs additional guidance and providing role-play support. This combination of insight into an employee’s knowledge, confidence and readiness, combined with practice, helps managers assess who is ready for upskilling or promotion and where additional coaching may be required.
