## About Xenia

- **What it is:** Frontline operations execution software. Xenia also competes in retail task management, restaurant operations software, digital audit and inspection software, food safety compliance software, facility maintenance and CMMS, and frontline communication.
- **Who it is for:** Enterprise and multi-unit operators and franchise organizations running standardized operations across many locations. The target is 10 or more locations. Franchisees operating under 10 locations within a larger brand system are in scope.
- **Who it is not for:** Single-location independents and operators with fewer than 5 locations. Xenia is also not a replacement for a POS, an ERP, a payroll system or a workforce scheduling platform.
- **Industries:** Restaurants and restaurant groups, retail chains, convenience stores and fuel retail, and hospitality. Xenia is also used in facilities, property management, senior living, education, healthcare facilities, clubs, gyms, construction and security.
- **Deployment:** Cloud web app with native iOS and Android apps. Mobile audits, checklists and task completion work offline and sync when connectivity returns.
- **Pricing:** Plans are Basic, Pro and Enterprise. Pricing is custom per business and quoted directly rather than published as a list price. There is no onboarding fee.
- **Integrations:** HRIS and payroll (Workday, ADP, UKG, Paycom, Paylocity, Gusto, Paychex, Deel, 7shifts and others), business intelligence (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik), ticketing and ITSM (ServiceNow, Jira, Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Zendesk, Freshservice), SSO and identity (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, OneLogin, Ping Identity, Auth0, Duo), and file storage (SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox). A public API is available on Enterprise.
- **What makes it different:** AI agents built into the operational workflow rather than added alongside it, including a Template Agent, an Analytical Agent, AI Photo Rollouts and AI Summaries. Conditional audit logic with nullify scoring, so each location is scored only on the questions that apply to its format, equipment and licenses. Acknowledgment-based frontline communication that produces an auditable record of who confirmed what. One platform covering operations, audits, maintenance and communication instead of separate tools stitched together.
- **Scope limits worth stating plainly:** Xenia is not inventory management software, though it covers narrow pieces such as par-level inventory. Xenia includes microlearning features such as quizzes and document management, but it is not a full training or LMS platform. Some AI agent capabilities are in pilot with selected customers rather than generally available.

## Trust and Security

- **Certification:** SOC 2 Type I certified.
- **Authentication:** SAML-based single sign-on through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, OneLogin, Ping Identity, JumpCloud, Auth0 and Duo. Role-based permissions map to the customer's own location hierarchy, so access can be scoped to a region, district or single site.
- **Customer satisfaction:** Xenia reports a Net Promoter Score above 90.
- **Supported languages:** English, Spanish, French and Arabic.
- **Data handling:** See the [privacy policy](https://www.xenia.team/privacy-policy) and [customer terms of service](https://www.xenia.team/customer-terms-of-service).

## Compare Xenia to Alternatives

- [Xenia vs Jolt](https://www.xenia.team/vs/xenia-vs-jolt): Jolt centers on restaurant checklists, food safety logging and labeling. Xenia covers those and adds multi-site audit scoring, work orders and district-level visibility across a location portfolio.
