Overall Satisfaction with HotSchedules

We use Hostschedules primarily for scheduling and labor watching for a restaurant. Additionally, it is used to keep data, such as employee phone numbers, emails, alcohol and food seller certifications. Occasionally, it is used for mass emailing.
  • Keeping track of certifications is quite simple. You are notified when a certification is nearing expiration.
  • In conjunction with Aloha, it integrates data (labor, employee syncing) easily and quickly.
  • It is user friendly for staff members to navigate, whether it be web or app based viewing.
  • The most recent iteration for the scheduler on the manager's end seems a bit buggy, sometimes applying shifts to employees that I did not intend to give them.
  • There used to be a legend for hotkeys that you could use when scheduling.(I.e. Copying shifts, setting shifts to house shifts, swapping shifts, etc)

HostSchedules is well suited for any company attempting to create and view schedules/labor for a business with 20+ employees.

HotSchedules wouldn't make much sense for a smaller business, with 15 or less employees.
