A poké chain in Greater Copenhagen with a team of 200 young people. New staff learn the job from video on their own phone, which suits a team that age.
Monotree has made our onboarding program a lot better. Especially because our employees usually are quite young, they thrive in learning through videos and technology. In the end it helps us to operate our stores better with checklists for daily routines and internal communication.
Frederik Darger Johansen and Nicolai Suwinai were 21 and 22 when they started OLIOLI in 2017. Their vision was simple: to create joy between food and people. The poké bars serve food the founders call Asian and Scandinavian, and to anyone who does not know the concept, they explain a bowl as a sushi salad. Working life is long, they write, so it might as well be fun.
Today there are OLIOLI bars across Greater Copenhagen, in Vesterbro, Østerbro, Amager, Vanløse, the city center, Lyngby, Hellerup and Rødovre, as well as at Copenhagen Airport and in the Tivoli Food Hall. The company also runs a food truck and does catering.
OLIOLI wants to be the best workplace in Denmark for young people. Two hundred young people work there, and the job they give themselves is to keep it fun even when it is busy. Most of its staff got their job by sending an unsolicited application. For those who want to lead, there is leadership training with EK and Asnæs & Vangstrup, and one employee is taking an academy degree in leadership through the company. The news section on the website is a blog about the staff, with stories such as the one about the very first employee.
New staff are onboarded through video in the app rather than on paper.
OLIOLI's young staff learn well through video and technology.
Daily routines in the bars run on checklists in the app.
Onboarding is the part co-founder and COO Frederik Darger Johansen points to, and the reason is the staff themselves. They are mostly young, and they learn better from video on a phone than from a folder. That suits a company that hires for energy, curiosity and the courage to learn as much as for experience.
The app is part of the daily work in the bars as well. Daily routines are handled with checklists in Monotree, and internal communication goes through it too. With bars spread from Vesterbro and Rødovre to Copenhagen Airport and the Tivoli Food Hall, the routines and the messages sit in the same app. Nobody has to remember which channel a message went out on.

Read moreMonotree has made onboarding of new employees a lot easier. It gives a professional and well prepared impression when we have to educate and develop our staff - and it ensures that everyone has the information they need.
We use Monotree as our primary platform for internal communication. Here we share, among other things, news, events and handbooks with all the information our baristas need. The app is also used to train our baristas during their onboarding period. We are very happy with our collaboration with Monotree and always find them to be very helpful and service-minded.
Everything is consolidated, but I have an extra love for eliminating everything in PDF format. Old documents lying around in some folder, it's absolutely fantastic to be able to gather everything and know that it's live and that you can get an update in a second, that's the best.
