User Testimonials
	foundU	HotSchedules and Fourth Payroll and Benefits
Likelihood to Recommend	foundU In its beta [version] it got stuck in some modules but with the new update, it’s working [perfectly]. It does not matter what size of a company is [it's perfect] for every Spacs to use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	HotSchedules and Fourth Hot Schedules/Labour Productivity has been very useful in helping with sales forecasting, utilizing past data combined with weather and national events; however its allocation of staffing is very generic across a large brand, so not much scope for the software to 'learn' what works well for individual sites - e.g. where one restaurant may need 2 people to cover their peak, another may need 4, to account for things like prep, restaurant layout, etc. Incentivized DH David Hale Restaurant Manager Read full review
Pros	foundU Organization. Real-time control. Incentivized John L Sandler Marketing Project Management Specialist Read full review	HotSchedules and Fourth Personal Information Storage Forecasting Labour Costing Incentivized DH David Hale Restaurant Manager Read full review

Alternatives Considered	foundU I would always prefer foundU for payrolls because it covers almost every module. And it’s really easy to use.
