User Testimonials
	HotSchedules and Fourth Payroll and Benefits	PeopleStrategy
Likelihood to Recommend	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	PeopleStrategy PeopleStrategy is an excellent product if an organization is growing in the right direction and wants to improve HR processes. The software has many different packages depending on the need and can be purchased separately if something in addition is decided in the future. This is a benefit because not all organizations may need all features right away. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Cons	HotSchedules and Fourth Quicker Sales Data Importing Easier Access to Employee Documents Holiday information on employee end Incentivized DH David Hale Restaurant Manager Read full review	PeopleStrategy Certain functions cannot be integrated unless you have purchase that specific package Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	HotSchedules and Fourth No answers on this topic	PeopleStrategy ADP and Oracle are systems I have used and the GUI of Oracle even as antiquated as it is was vastly more efficient to work with than the people as well as system that PeopleStrategy claimed to be supporting. I didn't have any part in the selection of this system as it was in place before I was part of the team. We promptly began looking into all in one systems so that we could convert to a better experience for us as administrators and for the employees and their use. We ulitmatelt converted to ADP this year and even though the process was not as seemless as promised I would still take this process over using PeopleStrategy any time.
