Overall Satisfaction with HotSchedules

It is being used across our whole organization. It does help address budgeting concerns, but it mostly helps with making sure that all our employees can see their schedules and communicate with each other about any scheduling challenges.
  • It allows everyone to see their schedule on their phones as soon as it's posted.
  • I can easily review staffing for all positions at both stores easily from my phone.
  • Servers can easily communicate with each other about getting shifts swapped.
  • The app, it would be great if it was free. Our staff often live paycheck to paycheck and getting them all to use the app is a challenge.
  • Issues with the server going down. The system needs to be more stable.
  • Better screen optimization on a computer. It's hard to make the schedule unless you are working on a desktop with any screen smaller than 20 inches.

Quick Initial Response
Need to explain problems multiple times
Some times servers say they can't change their availability etc. I tell them to call support and I know that HotSchedules support will get things fixed. This eliminates the excuse that they can't do something due to technical issues.
It depends on the size of the restaurant. Hands on operators of one store will not see the same benefits of less involved or operators of multiple sites.
