Why we exist
The name is the position.
onboarding.team— we onboard your team. We focus on one window — deeply: the first three weeks of every new hire on the floor, from offer-accepted to ramped-and-productive. Your HRIS, payroll, and training stack keep doing what they do best.
Why this category, why now
Frontline operations — restaurants, retail, hospitality, logistics — lose people in two predictable places: before day 1 (offer ghosting) and during ramp (slow-to-productive, language barrier, inconsistent training across locations). Both gaps cost operations and HR the same thing: a missing person on the floor.
Adjacent tools were built for adjacent jobs. Training platforms are built for ongoing learning — a different window. HRIS and onboarding workflow tools are built for paperwork compliance — a different outcome. Neither was built to close the offer-to-productive gap end-to-end.
We are built for that gap. Only that gap. Deeply — and designed to plug into the HR and ops stack you already run.
What we believe
- Preboarding is not a notification.The gap between “offer signed” and “day 1” is the cheapest place to keep a hire. We treat it as the first half of the journey, not as an afterthought.
- Multilingual is the floor, not a feature. If your line cooks think in Spanish and your one onboarding journey is in English, you are running training through interpreters. We do not translate your content for you. What you get is a multilingual platform UI plus the ability to author a separate journey per language your floor speaks, inside one account. You write the words; we host the work so each hire reads it in their own language.
- Outcomes, not feature catalogs.We measure ourselves on whether new hires show up, ramp faster, and run the same standard across locations — not on the number of modules shipped.
- Built by operators, with HR. The vocabulary on this site is the vocabulary of a shift manager who lost two hours yesterday explaining the POS in two languages — and the HR partner who has to staff that shift again next week. Both buyers are welcome here.
Who we are
A small team with operating experience in restaurant chains and retail networks across multiple markets, working alongside HR partners who run frontline at scale. We build for one problem: the gap between offer-accepted and productive on the floor.
