I like the ease of service, and the willingness to help from customer support. I have always used the software since I have been in the industry, and I appreciate the product consistency.

Great way to communicate important information to the entire staff, provide updates and schedules.

My experience with HotSchedules was great. M glad that their service was so helpful.

This software is super easy to set up and use and I would recommend this to anyone looking for help with scheduling.

This software is super user friendly. Easy to operate and allows you to communicate directly with your manager.

App is not free but cheap and worth every single penny. I love that I can request days off and my ability.

HotSchedules is easy to use and integrate. Their implementation specialists were great at training, and their training system is very modern and convenient.

We manage 5 restaurants, hotschedules is extremely important to our operation. It integrates with our POS system and has awesome forecasting and budgeting tools.

Love how easy it is to make schedules. I like that you can do safe counts and that this app also hold employee s numbers and emails.

The most annoying thing about is the notifications. I think everyone gets all the notifications.

The ability to save a template for a weekly schedule. At our job we put a schedule out on a weekly basis and we don't have to start from scratch every week.

I loved the mobile phone interface that HotSchedules had. Very simple, easy to read, and easy to connect with my manager for clarifications or changes.

I also enjoy the creation of House Shifts to help meet projected labor needed. There are some cool reporting functions and the Broadcast feature is great for company-wide announcements.

The website and app are very slow to use. Creating the schedule can be a pain as the interface is very slow, and the app will load for several seconds between each page while navigating.

Customer service is good. Not a fan of them implementing new things like “rate your shift” which nobody used.

Overall I had a great experience using HotSchedules, it is very easy to use.

Horrible experience, cannot get customer service to assist us in restarting service that has been interupted or correct verification processes. Delaying our hiring process and reopening of business.

The only downside to this software is the cost for the app.

Hot Schedules has been a great tool for our managers and staff. It's easy to use, customer service has been great to deal with.

Overall, I really loved my experience with HotSchedules. It was a great program for me to know when and what shifts I was working.

There is a learning curve and the interface is very dated. It's also a little confusing with what your schedule is etc.

You can also use it as a communication tool for both individual and mass communication. I genuinely LOVE this program, and would highly recommend it.

The tools are great if used correctly. The pricing is only affordable if you are a large business.

And the broadcast messages are great for getting important information out - everyone looks at their schedule, so everyone sees the broadcasts.

It might be overkill for small teams, but if you frequently schedule several people for many shifts each week, it's well worth the cost.

Hot Schedules is easy to use and they have great customer support.

The only complaint I have about using this software is that there is no way to know if the person you sent a message to saw the message.

Simple Interface, Good Feature Set, Excellent Price.

I really appreciated the ease in inputting the ingredients of my products and how quickly the information is calculated.

Challenge is there is no double check. All the information must be entered correctly.

I found this product very easy to use. I like how it looks and the layout of it.

If not for the customer service and their quick responses, I would have cancelled.

We love that the software is made by a Canadian company and is affordable. We use the software mostly to compile Nutrition Facts Tables for our customers.

The MenuSano customer service reps are prompt, friendly and very good at solving problems (my one problem). And then the software got changed so that no one else would have that issue.

Great customer service, very fast at answering questions.

Nutrition Facts panel generation from a recipe helps to make the outcome very professional looking.

Easy, convenient and great to give details to my customers.

The software made it quick and easy to produce accurate, professional looking nutrition labels. Customizing the way the information is displayed was a welcome feature as well.

We sell pre-made salads to grocery store so we had to find a good and easy program to have our nutritional values on our labels.

Very user-friendly and intuitive software. I like how you can add your own recipes and ingredients.

Sooo intuitive and easy to use, not sure where we would be without them.

No way to print a recipe book, ie all recipes sorted to user preference. No data base of pictures to attach.

The software helps us a great deal to achieve our goals of producing healthy alternative desserts.

For me, I just needed to make just 3 label so a little pricy I guess but I had no choice.

I find there aren't many options especially when it comes to protein. Seems difficult to find just plain chicken breast sometimes.

Overall good experience and good customer support.

Ease of creating recipes with nutritional data. Ability to print labels.

I was impressed the software did the calculations for me. I had know idea how to make a nutritional label. This software made it fast and simple.

Great product and great value for the price. The product is easy to use and support is there when you need it and very helpful.

No each or unit measurement, i.e case of 140 apples, recipe for 2 apples, etc. No scaling up/down of recipes.

This is an easy to use tool for doing menu work. It is straight forward and easy to follow each step.

Really easy to add recipes and calculate the nutritional facts. The labels are clear and lots of formats are available.

I like that you can choose different shapes/sizes. The database is a good size and has a lot of the products we use but not all.

There are a bunch of little things they could do to make the product a bit more user friendly but it does the job we need for a decent price.

Lots of ingredients missing from library. Too many custom basic ingredients are missing.

At first, it was a little bit overwhelming but you get the hang of it quickly. The only part at the moment that confuse me a bit is when I manually enter a new product.

Overall I've had a very good experience using the software. It has allowed me to be able to market my products into Grocery store chains that require this information.

Overall, my experience of using Menusano for meal planning was amazing and I would like to recommend it to other potential consumers.

This soft ware saved me. I had a deadline and the person I usually get to do my nutritional was not available. Thanks to this soft ware, we will be doing it all ourselves from now on.

HotSchedules is the hospitality industry’s most widely adopted intelligent scheduling software. Managers can cut their scheduling time down to 45 minutes or less with the intuitive drag and drop interface while maintaining federal, state, and local labor compliance with automatic and configurable scheduling rules.  

But a scheduling provider is just a glorified spreadsheet until there’s data behind it. Powered by Fourth Intelligence, HotSchedules integrates with your POS to generate labor and sales data so your managers schedule the optimal number of employees every shift. Historical data, weather, events, and more are all considered!  

When you're ready, publish the schedule and all employees will be notified via our app, rated the #1 business app for 5+ years. Employees love how easy it is to swap and release shifts, message co-workers, and request time-off. Their schedules also integrate with Google calendar! We’ll also ask them to rate their shift on a scale of 1-5 when they clock out, giving you much-needed insight into employee satisfaction levels.  

Larger organizations will also love the Above Store Console giving admins a bird-eye view into the performance of multi-location operations. And for a deep dive, there’s a myriad of reports available, the most popular including labor snapshots, OT alerts, and even the average time managers take to approve shift swaps. Our support team will help you uncover what reports are most important to your business and can set up automatic delivery on a cadence of your choosing. 

Further empower operational excellence with our digital Logbook allowing you to maintain control of your brand’s communications and operational procedures. Create mobile-first tasks lists, delegate to-dos, and assign follow-ups (use our 70+ pre-built templates if you’re not sure where to start). Eliminate communication breakdowns and Post-it note nightmares with digital store logs and staff journals, allowing you to easily store important information like store deposits, complaints, and employee incidents (great for performance appraisals!). And finally, ace health inspections with food safety compliance measures including recording wireless temperature readings and time-stamped verification of all compliance tasks.  

HotSchedules Time & Attendance solution ensures payroll accuracy, further maintains labor compliance, and reduces processing time. Equally important, it will prevent early clock-ins (also called time theft or buddy punching). Just with enforced punctuality and overtime alerts, HotSchedules saved a store .5% in labor costs, putting an additional $17,500 per store back into the restaurant!  

HotSchedules is also equipped with employee surveys, health checks, and many customization capabilities. Your team will not only be equipped with the industry’s most widely adopted scheduling software, but 24/7 support. In the spirit of making your lives easier, not harder, your onboarding process will include live trainings, an implementation team to set HotSchedules up for your unique needs, and a dedicated customer success manager who will never upsell you, only support you.
