PROtrainer is, in our humble opinion the most significant training tool in the market today. A unique blend of theoretical and practical, this single box is like having the world's best bartenders, spirit experts, sommeliers, health and safety experts, policemen, and human resource departments sitting in your venue 24 hours a day, seven days a week just waiting to teach, test and induct your staff.

Physically it is a small touchscreen computer unit and digital scale; no bigger than a case of beer but infinitely more intoxicating. At its heart is a unique software suite of games and tests backed by a huge database of text, video and questions – a database that is both growing daily and is customizable by the venue themselves.

PROtrainer In Action

Each staff member is assigned a series of courses or tests depending on their skill level or employment level. Every time they log on, they are shown written manuals, video explaining the content and then asked a series of questions based on the material. Everything from questions about their new employer, the venue, health and safety, menu items and product knowledge can be asked. Multiple choice, true or false and picture questions are mixed randomly. The staff member must ‘pass' each section before moving on, answering every question correctly twice in a row. Wrong answers are recorded, as is the time taken on each test.

Physical skills are tested with a state of the art Pour Test that not only measures accuracy of pour to a tenth of a unit but also adds a time dimension missing with Accu-Pour, etc.

Put very simply, PROtrainer acts as the perfect induction system. A company's full set of manuals can be loaded in with greater impact and longevity than ever before. Each staff member creates a personalised record of achievement and deficiencies can be highlighted. It contains both standard bartender training courses plus also up to the minute data on new products and legal issues. PROtender is guaranteed to please Human Resources, Operations, Quality Control, Accounts, the staff member and of course, the Guest.
