HotSchedules and Fourth Payroll and Benefits vs. Sage HRMS

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.

• The payroll piece does not handle complicated move up and move downs for union pay. This could definitely be improved upon.
