What HEAT Platform is
HEAT Platform is a web-based hospitality training service for multi-location groups that need consistent service, recipes, and compliance across branches. Headquarters managers can push shared modules, while managers can also define branch-specific workflows. Interactive recipe guides cover ingredients, allergens, plating, and talking points, and staff can access them on any device. The platform digitizes standard operating procedures with version control and tracks required staff acknowledgements. Managers can review who completed training, when they did it, and how well they performed, then create exams with passing thresholds; certifications are issued automatically to staff who pass. Starter costs $99 a month for one active location and up to 30 employee accounts. Growth costs $249 a month and supports unlimited locations and employee accounts. Enterprise uses custom pricing and adds dedicated account management, priority SLA and uptime guarantee, integrations, and onboarding and training sessions.
