Chowly vs. ScheduleFly

I would not recommend Chowly to any restaurant that is trying to push orders through to their POS from a third party delivery site. Any restaurant would be much better off finding a third party site that integrates directly with their POS. Using Chowly was more of a headache than it needed to be and our company switched to Checkmate (also not great) after a year with Chowly.

ScheduleFly is well suited for small or large businesses. We have around ten employees, and this works great! If you had a much smaller group to manage/schedule, you might not need something as complex and detailed. For larger groups, this would be perfect and well worth the cost for a subscription.

• It works on your cell phone, which is wonderful! Our workers always have their schedules on hand and easily accessible.
• ScheduleFly works in real-time, so changes and updates are immediate across all platforms
• I love the message wall. If someone wants to find a replacement or swap hours, they can do so.

I have never had to use support directly. Still, I love that even though they seem to be a smaller group that runs it, they are very personable in their email correspondence and supply phone numbers and contact information in case we are ever in a bind. It's nice to know that we have the option to contact them and will get personal support if we need it.

Chowly was not as good as Checkmate, though I cannot in good faith recommend either. We ended up switching over to Checkmate after a year with Chowly due to our dissatisfaction with the service.

ScheduleFly had a lot of extra features that some of the other scheduling software didn't offer. For example, one of the big draws of ScheduleFly was the ability to switch shifts right in the app. Workers continually need to make changes to their schedules, and it can add a lot of time to our plates as we try to put the puzzle together and make sure all shifts are covered. ScheduleFly gives workers a chance to makeshift and schedule changes on their own and leave leadership out of the picture. I love the display and organization of ScheduleFly too! It just seems a lot more organized and put together than some of the other ones we explored.

• Required a lot of attention from upper management to maintain
• Enabled orders from Caviar to go through to the POS without staff needing to enter the orders manually, saving on time and labor
• Due to frequent changes in our menu, Chowly could not handle these and needed to remap every single time there was a menu change.

• Keeps everyone organized, which makes the workplace more effective and well-staffed.
• The older staff doesn't adapt to the program as well and makes things difficult and added a lot of time on our plate to train.
• Great way to communicate between staff!
