Overall Satisfaction with HotSchedules

HotSchedules is used as a scheduling tool for the restaurant clients that we support. We use the tool to create weekly schedules and to facilitate schedule related communication within our restaurants.
  • Create new schedules. The scheduling template is convenient and easy to use, so the user doesn't have to create new schedules from scratch.
  • Consolidate communication. Having one method of quickly communicating to employees is ideal and HotSchedules creates that platform for us.
  • Pricing - Good value.
  • Ability to pull all reports in Excel. Some are available in Excel, most in PDF, which isn't generally as useful as Excel.
  • HotSchedules doesn't address how to handle communication and scheduling with employees who are non-internet users. In the restaurant industry, not all employees are avid internet users.
  • We haven't found the additional tools provided, beyond the scheduling capabilities, to be useful in our workplace. This is not a dig at HotSchedules; we just haven't needed them.

Scheduling is well suited toward our small restaurant operations. I'm sure the other features are more appropriate for larger operations. We just haven't found them necessary.
