BurgerFi was looking for a unified internal communications and team training platform that would support the rapid scaling of their restaurant network. After partnering with YOOBIC, frontline employees are more engaged and training is now something they actually look forward to.

Despite the challenges COVID-19 has created for the restaurant industry, BurgerFi is opening more locations and team members are delighting customers across the country.

Training, learning and development is at the core of everything that we do at BurgerFi. We needed to make sure that we had the infrastructure and technology in place that would help us support our learning and development goals. We realized that if we wanted to be ready for the next phase of growth, we needed a new platform."

Challenges

Frontline employees are at the heart of everything BurgerFi does, but 2 main challenges were holding the organization back from scaling as quickly as customers demanded it:

  • Low adoption rates of platforms already being used by frontline employees.
  • Learning and development tools that weren’t keeping up with BurgerFi’s need for scalable training. Their LMS wasn’t user friendly and the L&D team couldn’t create and scale training content as quickly as employees needed it.

It was also important to BurgerFi’s Restaurant Support team to find a vendor that would bring best practices and continuous product improvements to the table.

After an in-depth analysis of the market, BurgerFi chose YOOBIC to help them achieve their growth goal of opening 59 new restaurants by 2021.

If people aren’t using the platforms you already have, that’s an important story to take a hard look at."

The YOOBIC Solution

With YOOBIC, BurgerFi centralized all internal communications and team training in one mobile-first platform, branded as Fido — BurgerFi’s cute canine mascot for learning and development.

Company updates, news, employees shoutouts, photos, videos and success stories now live in an interactive company newsfeed.

All training content has been transformed into bite-sized mobile microlearning courses, which can be created and pushed out at scale to form personalized learning paths.

The basic learning analytics BurgerFi’s learning and development teams previously struggled with have been replaced with real-time, intuitive and granular dashboards.
