Tablo: Staff Training
Train Your Team in 3 Minutes
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Floor-ready staff in 3 minutes a shift. Tablo builds quizzes from your menu and tracks who's trained, so you don't have to.
Tablo is the pre-shift training app built for restaurants. The best servers aren't born knowing your menu — they're trained. A server who can't describe a dish can't sell it. Tablo closes that gap in minutes.
Managers import their menu, generate Smart-powered quizzes in seconds, and track every staff member before the shift starts. Staff complete a quick 3-minute quiz on their phone — no paper tests, no classroom, no wasted time.
BUILT FOR THE FLOOR
Every question is pulled directly from your actual menu — ingredients, allergens, pairings, upsell opportunities. Not generic food trivia. Real knowledge your servers need tonight.

2.7 Aug 25
This release focuses on reliability and polish across the app.
Quiz generation is now significantly more dependable, especially for larger menus and longer quizzes — the most common cause of failed quiz creation has been fixed.
We also fixed menu import so you get a clear confirmation when your items are saved, smoothed out the sign-in and upgrade screens, and added a live countdown to your free trial. Managers can now send a quick reminder to any staff member who hasn't finished their training, and the team progress view is clearer — showing your average score in each training category at a glance.

2.4 Jun 24
New on the Manager Progress tab:
- Staff Progress now sorts by who needs your attention first — new hires with no quizzes yet, then anyone averaging below 65%, sorted lowest score first.
- Alerts now name the specific category dragging a score down (e.g. "Weak on allergen awareness") instead of a generic low-score warning.
- The By Category breakdown sorts lowest-scoring category first, so you immediately see where the team needs training focus.
- The 3-attempt cap on quiz retakes now applies to every quiz, including tonight's auto-generated set — previously only quizzes from the library were capped.
Plus pricing copy clarity and small polish fixes.
2.3 Jun 23
This release makes the Pro plan genuinely more powerful and fixes a handful of real bugs from extensive testing.
Pro managers now get a real weekly performance report, score movement tracking by category, and low-score alerts — all part of a new Pro Analytics suite. We also fixed an issue where free-trial accounts weren't seeing their full Pro features, and corrected the 3-attempt quiz limit so it's enforced consistently whether staff retake a quiz from the results screen or start it fresh from their dashboard.
Quiz questions are now more accurately categorized — Upselling and Wine & Pairings no longer overlap — and we improved variety so quizzes don't repeat similar questions back to back.
Plus smaller fixes: clearer reminder messages for staff, and a smoother sign-up experience.
2.2 Jun 20
Tablo Pro just got more powerful. Pro managers now get Pro Insights — a weekly team performance report and per-category score trends, so you can see at a glance how your staff are improving and where they're slipping. We've also added low-score alerts that flag any server averaging below 65%.
This update also fixes an issue where taking a second quiz back-to-back could leave you unable to advance to the next question.
along with a bug where the correct answer would appear as the first option every question.

2.0 Jun 15
This update brings a major security upgrade alongside new ways to track progress.
Staff can now see an Overall Mastery score in their history — a single number averaging performance across every training category, so it's easy to see where you stand at a glance.
Managers get an accurate "trained today" count on the dashboard, showing how many of your staff have completed training before the shift. You can also set service start times so staff see a countdown to their next shift.
The quiz library is cleaner: newer quizzes are marked and surface first, while older ones move out of the way. After a quiz, staff can now review exactly what they missed — the correct answer and an explanation for each one.
We also strengthened how staff data is protected behind the scenes, redesigned the progress view, and fixed several issues including quiz completion, retaking quizzes, and a countdown display bug.

This update is all about reliability and depth.
Staff can now view their full quiz history — every attempt, score, and category breakdown — directly from their home screen and after completing a quiz.
The progress tab now tracks mastery across five categories including Tonight's Specials, with real per-question scoring instead of estimates.
Managers can now set their shift start times in Account Settings, so staff see an accurate service countdown before every shift.
We also fixed a bug where quizzes could get stuck after a wrong answer, resolved dark overlays appearing when exiting a quiz early, and addressed a display issue showing "undefined NaNm" on the staff home screen.
