Lobster Ink is an enterprise learning platform for hospitality and food service operators training distributed teams. It combines interactive lessons, theory and practical assessments, and job-specific Learning Paths.

The product is available on web, Android, and iOS, with responsive design for access across devices. Listed features include onboarding, compliance tracking, enterprise-class security, EU GDPR compliance, and 24-hour support. Ecolab describes round-the-clock mobile access and says learners complete over one million courses annually across 120 countries.
