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.

Workday
When staff were trained to use Workday Payroll and Workforce Management, we underwent thorough training sessions and received printed materials to follow along with on our desktops. The procedures were straightforward, making it easy to navigate the site, especially for supervisors. However, when the system was introduced for college students, it didn’t run as smoothly. Since students were primarily focused on their coursework, they occasionally needed assistance with using Workday Payroll and Workforce Management or had to be directed to the appropriate resource for support.

Workday Payroll and Workforce Management hasn't given me any issues. I love that you can customize your profile with icons, the color scheme, and etc. It makes it feel more personable. In addition, you can customize which icons that you use frequently to complete tasks. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a platform that has high usability and versatility.
