    HotSchedules and Fourth
    The product is user-friendly in automating the tasks, managing the master data through central purchasing, and creating custom reports. It lacks certain basic functionalities like a record of wastages, sending automated emails confirming if the automatic tasks (scheduled tasks) have been completed or not, and the ability to automate the nutrition information, etc.

    Cons
    HotSchedules and Fourth
    • It would help massively to see via Enterprise and menu items what ones are no longer active, to keep the data tidy.
    • When you take purchase reports from Enterprise and select to organise them by category, show the name of the category on the actual report download.
    • Quick and easy upload/download of supplier products for correcting prices, descriptions, prices in bulk.
