Company mission

To create a world where every deskless worker has a good job.

Our take

The restaurant workforce is getting younger and with that comes inexperience, paired with the fact many restaurants remain largely understaffed with workers being asked to do more with less support. This has triggered a growing need for effective training protocols, and when it comes to training Generation Z, new, innovative mobile technologies are required.

Opus is a multilingual, mobile-first training platform helping frontline teams stay productive by making learning more accessible and engaging. What started as a tool to provide English language training in kitchens quickly progressed into a mobile learning tool designed for the 70% of American workers who don't sit at a desk.

While there are a variety of learning management systems on the market, the majority are inaccessible to deskless workers due to being web-based, monolingual, and requiring hours of time to complete courses, giving Opus an edge over competitors. With hundreds of companies now trusting Opus with training their workforce, it is well positioned to accelerate its growth through product expansion to keep training the next generation workforce.
