Overview

Passports serve as centralized training system for those Team Members who need step-by-step onboarding's. You can meet compliance, track an individual learning progress, and ensure they are meeting all the milestones needed. Passports are directly linked to Training Ratings, and sometimes can be considered the Team Member's "first rating" in the system, although you may find it useful for a Team Member to re-do a Passport to stay refreshed on protocol. 

Passport Items each represent a single requirement and keep track of the status as well as the information about who completed the item, and when. Items can be organized into Sections. All of the items (in all of the sections) in a passport must be completed before the passport can be completed.

Therefore, passports serve as a way to transparently communicate to all team members the requirements to move up in the organization. They provide stability and consistency in the way your team is managed. They also empower individual team members know (and meet) all the requirements so they can learn a new skill or gain the next promotion.

Training vs Leadership

There are two different kinds of Passports, and each is managed differently. These are the two different kinds:

• Training Passports track progress towards proficiency in a Training Position.
• Leadership Passports track progress towards a new Leadership Role (which may adjust permission level within the app).

Learn more about these below.

Training Passports

Training Passports represent progress toward a new training position in the restaurant. Each of these passports is inherently linked to a training position; adding and removing a training position will also add or remove the corresponding passport. The order of these passports is controlled by the order of the training positions. Since there are separate FOH and BOH training positions, there are also separate FOH and BOH training passports.

What are "Training Positions?" These "Training Positions" are the set of positions that trainers can rate employee on. Learn more about customizing Training Positions.

Leadership Passports                                               

Leadership Passports represent progress towards a new leadership role and its corresponding set of permissions within OneClickApp. Each of these passports is inherently linked to a permission set in the entire business; adding or removing a permission set also adds and removes the corresponding leadership passport. The order of these passports is controlled by the order of the leadership roles. Just as permission sets are shared between all teams of the business (FOH, BOH, Delivery, etc...), leadership passports are also shared among all teams of the business. 

Properly understood, this system allows a large team to be managed together. Different teams (FOH & BOH) can have unique requirements corresponding to their unique positions, and the whole restaurant can have a set of shared requirements that anyone from any team could follow to progress along the leadership path.

What are the "Leadership Roles?" They are the same as the Permission Roles configured in the restaurant. Learn more about Configuring Permissions Settings. Note that the linked article discusses a table of permissions settings; there is a leadership passport for each column in the table, and adding a leadership passports requires adding a column to the table.

Other Passport Type

We do not currently support any other types of passports. We only support passports linked to Training Positions or Leadership Positions.

Side-by-Side Comparison

By default, a Trainer or higher permission can view and complete passports. There are two ways you can access passports for your Team Members. 

Shifts: Long press/click on a Team Members name. Click "Passports".
Profile: Open your Team list on  the left menu. Select the name of the Team Member (or any Team Member if editing Passports), then click "Passports" on their profile.

Completing

The idea behind Passports is that the Leader will be guiding the trainee through the checklist, ensuring each task is done correctly. Passports can have the following type of tasks associated to each item. 

• Checklist
• Number
• Slider
• Dropdown
• Short Answer
• Long Answer
• Signature
• Photo
• Multiple Phase (Not Started, Demonstrate, Imitate, Repeat, Completed)

The Passport System incorporates Link Pathway 2.0 to facilitate easy navigation and access to training resources. Trainers can include hyperlinks within their passports, providing direct access to relevant materials. Use Markdown language to generate links for your training tasks and explore its capabilities at commonmark.org/help/. You can also see more examples by going to Markdown 101 Passports.

To begin a Passport, press the Start button.

When completing an item, the system will name and time stamp the task. 

A Training Rating will be provided at the bottom of each Passport where the Leader can assess the Team Member's performance. This Training Rating is commonly the Team Member's first rating and can set the stage for more ratings as they progress.

After submitting, the Passport will have a log of when started, completed stamped.

Stamping & Reseting 

After a Passport is completed (all tasks completed, rating submitted), a Shift Leader or higher permission can stamp it to confirm it is done. This stamp represents a leader's review, confirming the trainee's successful completion of training and qualification for the position. It ensures consistency and reliability in the certification process.

Reset Capability

Managers and directors have privileged access to the reset functionality of the Passport System. This feature allows trainees to relearn certain aspects or address inadequate initial training. It ensures the integrity of the certification process.

Manage Passports

Only leaders with permission can edit passports. While this rule can be configured, the default requires a "Manager" or higher to edit the passports. See Configurable Permission Settings (Manage Passports) for more details. The rest of this section assumes you have access to this permission.

Passport Content

To edit the content of a passport, go to Settings -- Passports. You can open a passport to review, then edit individual items. Passports work similar to Checklists. They use many of the same controls, and many of the same features are available on passports just as they are in checklists. The key difference is that passports are designed to apply to each of the employees in your restaurant individually; this makes them a good method of distributing information and ensuring that everyone in the restaurant has completed it.

Passport Titles

Passport titles are linked to Training Ratings. For this reason, titles of passports can only be changed through our Support Team. Please contact them here. 

Despite the closing linking between passports and the positions or roles they represent, changing the title of a training position or a leadership role will not change the title of the passport as well. Usually, our support team will handle this for you, but if something needs to be adjusted, just reach out.

Reordering Training Tasks

To further customize the training experience, managers can easily reorder the list of training tasks within a passport. Similar to the functionality of checklists, managers can use drag-and-drop capabilities to move tasks up or down the list. This flexibility empowers managers to prioritize training tasks based on urgency, relevance, or specific developmental needs.

Changing Input Types

The Passport Manager allows managers to modify the input types within a passport. Managers can leverage dropdown lists to change the input field associated with a particular training task. This feature enables managers to adapt the input requirements based on the nature of the task. Available input types include photos, signatures, number and text fields, dropdown fields, and checkboxes, offering versatility and customization options.

Revert to Default

In the event of accidental modifications or deletions, the Passport Manager provides a "Revert to Default" functionality. Managers can easily return a passport to its original default template, ensuring consistency and preserving important sections. This feature acts as a safeguard, preventing unintended alterations and allowing managers to recover any accidentally removed sections or tasks.
