Blink - The Employee App

““We needed a tool where we could communicate to every employee — easily accessible to everyone of whether or not they had a company account.””

“Having a workforce connected to information and to each other has such an important impact on workplace culture. If you’re exploring tools, look closely at how accessible they are to frontline staff and how intuitive they feel. For us, Blink has been a practical, effective solution — and the results speak for themselves.”

““We get a chance to talk to the bosses we don’t typically hear from. It’s nice to know we’re appreciated.””

“At the surface level, the launch video is cute and cuddly. But if you really think about Blink’s purpose — bringing people together to communicate — you see all these people coming together in that video. That’s the message.”

““Now we can prove where the problems are. We’re not asking our people leaders to change for no reason — the data backs it up.””

““Comms from the top were working fine,” said Sam. “But our survey showed it wasn’t filtering down. Some managers weren’t doing regular 1:1s. Departmental goals weren’t being shared. We finally had proof — and a reason to fix it.””

““There’s a big difference between getting an email every few weeks and getting a quick ping on your phone as a reminder to complete the survey,” Sam shared. “It led to people actually going in and filling it out.””

““Everything we got out of the last platform — and more,” said Sam. “Plus, the whole thing just ran smoother. No more data-wrangling. No more logins to another platform.””

““We knew we wanted to explore other options for the survey, when we saw the service that Blink was offering, on a platform that our teams are familiar with, it was a clear choice.””

“"We don't want our team having to use Facebook to communicate while at work."”

“All of this saves time and makes things easier for us”

“Blink is our secure internal comms and collaboration environment — securely integrated with other systems. If Blink drops out, our entire business would virtually come to a halt.”

“Blink has completely revolutionized how we work with our frontline colleagues. By enabling us to communicate freely and efficiently, it’s broken down the barrier between management and the frontline, creating a vibrant and open culture that encourages us all to do our best work. We couldn’t imagine a world without Blink.”

“Employees are not just a number or wage rate; they are important.”

“The value that we've gotten is one hundred times greater than the effort we've put in.”

“As we've grown from one little restaurant to five sites across London, staying connected as a team has become one of our biggest challenges. Blink has been a game changer for that. It keeps everyone, chefs, bakers, front-of-house, in the loop without overwhelming them. Communication feels easy and human, not like another task to manage. For us, it's helped preserve the sense of togetherness we had when we were just one small kitchen. Growth is only worth it if you can bring your team with you, and Blink helps us do exactly that.”

“In hospitality, the pace never really stops. There's always another service, another message, another detail to sort. What Blink gave us was space to breathe. It separates work from the rest of life, so our team can focus fully when we're in the kitchen, and properly switch off when we're not. That balance has made such a difference. People are more connected, and we've found more joy in what we do. Blink didn't just make us more organised, it made work feel lighter.”

“We've got teams spread across five busy sites (kitchens, counters, front-of-house), and for a long time, we were running everything through WhatsApp. It just got messy. Messages would come through at all hours, and it was harder to really switch off. Moving to Blink completely changed that. It keeps work separate from personal life, so everyone stays connected without the chaos. It's made our days calmer, happier, and honestly, a lot more joyful.”

“We needed a safe, centralized place where people could connect and build community.”

“It’s encouraging. People are on there. They’re reading. They’re asking about it in the hallways.”

“The directors who are using it are using it well. They’re posting in real time and getting engagement within their departments — it’s working.”

“Blink felt like a real app experience, not just another social media feed. It was clear it was designed with frontline workers in mind.”

“I think Blink has changed our communication tenfold. Everyone is communicating with each other socially as well as on an operational level. Inter department communication has improved. We're able to fix guest problems quicker because we're able to communicate faster, but we're also able to see the fun side of our company as well.”

“I love the Hub. I don't get asked a hundred times where a document is, so I'm able to point everybody to Blink. We send them links and we're able to communicate. But I would also say the Boost feature where we can put up top the important messages and they're not getting missed anymore.”

“I think our communication was really top down. We were able to communicate to our team through notice boards, through emails, really old school styles, but they weren't able to communicate back to us. And that is something that we felt was really missing before we had Blink.”
