The Olive Group’s restaurants are known for their delicious food and a chic ambience. Beginning in November 2000 with one Olive Bar and Kitchen in Mumbai, the group has expanded into 16 brands across major cities in India. The Olive Group is using EnglishBolo™ to train customer-facing staff in English.
Late last December, The Olive Group introduced EnglishBolo™ to 6 brands across Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. These brands include The Olive Bar and Kitchen, The Fatty Bao, SodaBottleOpenerWala, Ek Bar, Guppy, and Monkey Bar. These restaurants and bars have established themselves as the standard for fine-dining in India’s urban capitals.
One of the many contributors to the quality of a brand is the service staff. The Olive Group implemented the EnglishBolo™ program to train customer-facing employees in English across a variety of roles. The Olive Group utilised EnglishBolo™ to further employee development and customer service experience. The EnglishBolo™ program helps learners improve their reading, comprehension and speaking. The program has different levels to accommodate different reading abilities.
How Does EnglishBolo™ Work?
The EnglishBolo™ 100-day program provides a learning model that provides structured and consistent learning and practise with the convenience of flexibility for accessing lessons and teachers for each user.
The program structure:
1. An assessment test that will place the user into a program most suited to their level.
2. 100 short ‘learn yourself’ lessons. One lesson every day is the intended way to use the program. Each lesson ends with a short quiz for some additional practice.
3. After 8 lessons, a user can sign up for an online teacher class. Teacher classes are an important supplement for spoken English practice. These classes help users develop confidence.
4. Each user gets to choose the day and time of the class. A user needs a good internet connection and a pair of headphones to successfully take the class. Each user gets 10 online classes for the duration of the program.
5. At the end of the program, each user takes a test and receives a certificate.
The Olive Group and EnglishBolo™ partnership is still underway and we look forward to a continued relationship with The Olive Group.

I had the opportunity to speak with someone from Olive Group who is also a learner with the EnglishBolo program. He said the EnglishBolo program was helping him have real conversations with real people in a friendly environment. He knows English enough to be able to understand it but is not confident enough of being able to speak. That his confidence was now increasing is some positive change! Kudos!
