Our National Froyo Shop Owner Survey revealed that the #1 concern of owners was rising labor costs in 2019 and 2020. Wages have been rising in the US and the foodservice industry has faced labor shortages. COVID-19 worsened the labor shortage due to the low wages and higher risk associated with restaurant jobs.
These trends point to the importance of finding, training, and retaining froyo shop employees. Technology makes it easier to do all three. That’s why we’re excited about offering our members special savings on Motimate, the award-winning training app. With more than 140,000+ learners across 35 countries, Motimate is the mobile training platform where you curate the learning content and share it with your users directly onto their personal or in-store mobile devices. The special offer from Motimate for IFYA members ends on June 30.
Funky Frozen Yogurt, Scandinavia’s largest frozen yogurt chain, started using Motimate earlier this year and found that using Motimate cut training time from 25-30 hours to 12 hours. Motimate allowed the Regional Manager of Funky to easily create training courses and track whether employees watch training videos, improving employee engagement and knowledge.
