AI photo review for Jolt lists

Overview

A completed Jolt list proves the task happened; the photo on it holds what the store actually looked like. Jolt records the item, the timestamp and the employee who completed it, keeps the results in the web portal, and gives a district manager completion rates by location and date range. What no completion rate can carry is the condition inside the picture: the seal on the walk-in door, the grease line under the fryer, the shelf that was restocked crooked. RapidEye reads those photos, with the location, the list and the date attached, and returns one finding per problem it can see.

How it works with Jolt

Jolt already sorts the day into scheduled lists with a start time, a due time and an expiration time, so the checks follow the shift rather than a separate inspection calendar. These are examples, not the edges of it: RapidEye reads whatever a team already captures, photos, video walkthroughs or 3D scans, and reports against whatever standard you care about.

• Opening lists. The Photo items on an opener show the dining room, the prep line and the restrooms before a guest sees them. A stained ceiling tile, a bulb out over table nine, a bin that never went out the night before: each comes back named, placed and rated.
• Closing lists. The closer is where a rushed shift shows. RapidEye compares tonight's photo of the fryer station, the ice machine or the walk-in against what that same spot looks like when it is done properly at your other locations.
• Line checks and food-safety rounds. Jolt captures the temperature as a Measurement item; the photo alongside it carries the things a number cannot, an uncovered pan, a mislabeled container, a gasket coming away from the door.
• Audits and brand standards. A monthly audit list scored in Jolt gets a second, photographic read: what the score says, and what the pictures behind it show about the same store month over month.
• Work orders and their posts. Media uploaded on a work order post, and the asset it was raised against, become the before and after of a repair, dated, so the work has a record rather than a memory.

Each finding names the location, the spot, the type of problem, how serious it looks, the photos behind it and a suggested next step, and lands in the RapidEye dashboard plus a Slack channel or an inbox if you want one. What happens next in Jolt is yours: audit the item, raise a work order, or send someone back. If your standard, your capture format or your kind of site is not in that list, that is a setup conversation, not a limit.

How to connect Jolt to RapidEye

1. The locations and lists you want read. Choose them the way Jolt organizes content: Content Group mode for the templates every location runs, Location mode for the lists that belong to one site.
2. Photos on those lists. Photo is a standard Jolt item type, so a Photo item on the openers, closers, line checks and audits where condition matters is all it takes. If a list carries no photo today, RapidEye can send a capture link instead, which opens on any phone with nothing to install.
3. A Jolt user for RapidEye. Add Rapid Eye in People and Roles with a role that carries the Reports Admin permission. The modal has the details.

What a Jolt list item actually records

Checked against Jolt's help centre, September 2026.

Jolt is operations management software for restaurants, grocery, retail, healthcare, car washes and hotels, and the list is its center of gravity. List templates are built in the Jolt web portal and sync to the Jolt app, where an employee completes them signed in on a personal device or through a PIN on a shared tablet. According to Jolt's help centre documentation (smartsense.co), item types are how an employee completes a task, and every completed item documents when it was completed and who completed it.

The rest of the type list fills in the shape of a shift: Free Response and Short Entry for open answers, Date, Time and Date-Time, Text and Subtitle for instructions and section breaks, and a Sublist item to nest a longer list inside a shorter one. Items can carry points for a points report, N/A options, background colors, a file from the Information Library, or display criteria so a question only appears when an earlier answer calls for it. A "Do we have a delivery today?" that opens an unload task is Jolt's own example.

How a list arrives and when it closes

Scheduling is what makes a Jolt list feel like the shift rather than a form. Each list display time has three parts, and Jolt applies new schedules overnight, so a list built today usually first appears tomorrow.

1. Start timeIt appearsThe list shows up in the Jolt app for whoever is assigned.
2. Due timeIt is expectedAfter this it counts as late, and notification rules can push, text or email a role.
3. Expiration timeIt closes itselfThe list stops being completable, complete or not.

Access follows roles: a list is open to anyone signed into the app unless you switch it to role-based access, and the separate Managed column is what lets a role change a due time or delete a list on the app. Permissions above that are their own ladder, from Company Admin and Content Group Admin down through Location Website Admin, Device Admin, Logbook Admin, Scheduling Admin, Reports Admin and Sensor Admin to List Manager and List Assignee, who can only view and complete items.

Can Jolt tell you what a store looked like?

It can hold the evidence, and it is honest about who has to look at it. Browse Lists in the web portal is built for exactly that review: filter to a list, a location and a date range, see completion times, trend a list score or an employee over time, print or email results in a table, download to CSV. The Lists Completion Report counts a list as complete only when the whole list was submitted before the deadline, while the Item Completion Report scores the items inside it, and auditing lets an admin flip an item that was marked complete but not done back to not completed, with a comment that lands in the audit trail and puts the task back on the employee's app. All of that is a manager reading a shift after the fact. The photos are sitting there, one instance at a time, across every location and every day. Reading them is the part that does not scale by hand, and it is the part RapidEye takes.
