Get teams productive fast with upleveled training

Retail and casual and fast-food businesses struggle to provide consistent service when the workforce is often transient, on-the-go, and bring varying degrees of experience and education to the table. You need to build customer service skills, and keep employees up to date on the latest products, promotions, and procedures — all while being measurable, engaging, and ready immediately.

Are you struggling to…

Continually create and adapt courses to match changing products, promotions, and safety regulations

Juggle a complicated tech stack that overpromises, underdelivers, and drains resources

Onboard new hires quickly enough to keep up with high turnover and seasonal hiring spikes

Deliver consistent training to a deskless, mobile workforce across hundreds or thousands of locations

Quickly gather meaningful learning metrics that tell you how your teams are doing

Easily and securely manage training materials for store teams, managers, and franchisees in one place

Impact turnover, compliance, and customer experience with one learning platform

Replace fragmented systems with a single, AI-powered platform and operate more efficiently, reduce compliance exposure, accelerate ramp time, and drive measurable business results — from speed of service to average purchase size — from your training programs.

Traditional way vs. CYPHER’s approach

Spend fewer resources navigating a convoluted and complex stack of training development and delivery technology and more time developing learners. Here are just a few ways CYPHER is leading the necessary disruption of modern learning.

Traditional way

What you get with CYPHER

One-size-fits-all approach to onboarding that does nothing to drive speed-to-productivity
Personalize onboarding learning paths by role, location, and experience to deliver just what crew members and managers need to thrive on day one
Maintain separate, expensive licenses for authoring tools, limiting who can create content
Unified content development and course delivery, whether it’s human-led or AI-driven, allows you to meet demand and save resources
Rigid, static content formats that leave learners bored and unengaged
Gamification, knowledge checks, and interactive objects drive learner engagement and deliver more effective training
Conventional reporting that provides basic and rudimentary data
Insightful dashboards empower you to track learner progress by store and region, identify gaps, and flag opportunities to improve training
Awkward, computer-based formats force learning to take place in the back office
Mobile learning provides flexibility for crew members and associates to learn anywhere, on any device
Fragmented learning systems lead to dangerous variations in employee training… and customer experience
Ensure every store delivers the same experience with centralized control over training and push updates instantly across the network
Time-consuming and manual course creation
Automation and AI-powered course builder cuts content creation to minutes – allowing you to keep up with menu changes and promotions while still maintaining full control
Manual and outdated assessments
Adaptive assessments tagged to specific knowledge subjects and competencies help you understand what each team member knows or doesn’t know
