#127: How Jolt Checklists and Software Create Accountability in Restaurants

When restaurant owners dream of freedom from the grind — financial, operational and emotional — what they really need is a system. In episode 127 of the “Restaurant Prosperity Formula Podcast,” I sat down with CJ Lewis, co-founder and COO of Jolt, a restaurant operations platform that has redefined how accountability, food safety and systems should work in the real world. If you’ve ever struggled to get your team to follow checklists, keep temps in line or stay consistent without you breathing down their neck, this episode is for you. Lewis shares how Jolt was born out of frustration — and a $10,000 ice cream meltdown — and how it’s evolved into a must-have for restaurant operators serious about success.

This episode isn’t a product pitch; it’s a masterclass in systemizing your business so it stops running you. If you’re ready to turn your restaurant into a scalable, profitable and manageable business, this is where it starts.

I believe Jolt isn’t just a piece of software — it’s a blueprint for restaurant freedom. Here’s what you can expect to learn: Grab your headphones and get ready to learn how to impose your will—without having to be there. Because real restaurant prosperity starts with systems, and Jolt just might be the one that changes everything.
