OUR FOUNDERS

Jim Slowin

Jim is a restaurant operator at heart. His career has included everything from server to VP of Operations. Jim believes training is the most important thing we do in the restaurant business. Period. His knowledge and passion for training and development led him to partnering with Randy to create Stella Trainer.

Randy Craven

Randy has worked in and around hospitality since... let's just say a long time. He has worked every job in restaurants, from busser, cook, server, bartender and management up to corporate controller. He owned a software development and technology consulting practice for 15 years prior to partnering with Jim to create Stella.

Why Stella?

We Are Restaurant Guys

We come from restaurant operations and have designed Stella specifically for restaurants. We know the restaurant world is unique and needed a platform that took into consideration the specific needs and environment for every level in the organization from server to manager to corporate.

We Do The Heavy Lifting

Most restaurant companies are very busy and do not have the time and resources to manage converting training program to a digital platform. We help in both the design and build process of your training site. We involve you in the process, but we do most of the heavy lifting.

We're Adaptable

We know one size does not fit all. Each company is different and has a unique approach to their training processes. We designed Stella Trainer to be adaptable and flexible to accommodate any restaurant’s processes, materials and systems.

We're Agile

We have and will continue to adapt and evolve. We are constantly adding things to our development list. We understand our business is all about our clients, so many of our ideas come straight from their requests.

PROCESS and EXECUTION

Training fails to happen consistently because “operations” fails to “execute” the training “processes” in place. We have developed features and strategies in Stella Trainer to help monitor the progress and execution of training. We bring all the moving parts into one place. When operations “follow up and follow through”, training improves.

Intuitive and Responsive

We knew these two points were important given the unique environment of the restaurant world. No big learning curve to be able to create courses. Design and group courses, assignments and tests by day in a logical intuitive way for the trainee. Staff can access site from any device. Stella is totally responsive.
