How do I onboard someone fast?
Fast doesn't mean cramming everything into day one. It means deciding what has to be true by the end of the first shift and leaving the rest for later.

Shift one
Where things are, who to ask, the safety points they must know before touching anything, and one station done properly. That's it. Showing everything on day one is the most common mistake and nobody remembers any of it.
Week one
One more station at a time — show it, do it together, then let them do it while you watch. Same order for every new person so it doesn't depend on who's training.
Why writing it down is faster, not slower
It takes an hour once and saves the walkthrough every time. It also means the new person can check something at 9pm without finding a manager.
How it works
- Talk it in. Walk through the job out loud, in whatever language you think in.
- Get a clear routine. Tiendo structures it into steps, safety notes and checkpoints, then translates it into your team's language — numbers and times kept exact.
- Your team reads and confirms. Post a QR code or hand a new hire one link. They read it on their phone and tap "read and understood."
