If you are looking to schedule off of traffic instead of sales history, this is the tool for you. The only issue is if you have a location that is low volume, the scheduling tool will recommend 0 staff to work in select segments. This tool is ideal for stores that have 2 or more people during the day.

• The messaging features in Homebase are not consistent across the platform. In the app you can mass message everyone, however using the website you cannot, at least not at the price point that we are using.
• The roles for employees and how to navigate them can be confusing especially when trying to schedule one employee in two different departments.
• The separation of departments is a bit rigid and makes it difficult for universal employees to be scheduled easily.
