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.

They are constantly evolving so any suggestions end up being fixed before there's a problem.

My favorite feature is the search for certain date frame. Has saved me so much time when running payroll.

I have tried other programs, time clocks, punch clocks, etc. This is by far the best system at a very affordable cost.

The interface is great on the admin side. Our employees have liked the ease of use.

Works great with Quickbooks. Anytime I had to call to ask questions, they answered right away and were able to answer my questions.

Brilliant, easy to use, and fantastic customer support.

The seamless online portal is perfect for busy employers. The customizability is great for any size company.

I worse problem is older employees who have challenges with technology not wanting to use it. I have one employee I let do a paper time sheet.

Overall On The Clock is reliable, easy to use for staff thanks to the app, has a high level of functionality and won't break the bank.

The inability to request time off without it being a PTO request.

Easy, professional, intuitive, inexpensive, feature rich, and a set-it and forget-it type of product. We have never had to call for customer service in two years of use.

Time tracking with employees is easy but integration into a payroll software is not quite there yet.

Ease of use AND integration with QuickBooks Online.

Sometimes a little difficult changing people’s time clock hours when they forget to clock in or out.

Always easy to speak with someone that feels like a local friend helping you understand the features or configure something correctly.

Ease of use and reporting. Love that it uploads the data directly into Quickbooks for payroll.

This software is great and very inexpensive. For out company use it is the best bang for the buck.

The dashboard can be confusing upon first starting. There's a learning curve, maybe clunky design.

Submitting PTO time to be approved can be done in less than five steps. And the ease of clocking in and out makes using ontheclock worth it.

It is super easy and very cost effective. Would definitely use in the future should the need arise.

I think some of the toggles in the settings are confusing.

The biggest problem I had before using On The Clock was not knowing how many hours my employees where working and it was a guessing game.

EASY TO USE , ACURRATE , Excellent accountability , great product.

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.
