I believe that since we are already paying to use the software this app should be free to download. Without a login the application is useless so the fact you need to pay to download the app is very ridiculous. > > I used this app to schedule a full restaurant staff including FOH BOH and Managers. This tool is incredible useful and negates the need to figure out scheduling most weeks. All employees can submit their availability and I can schedule them badsed off of this availability without thinking to check because it bars me from scheudling people outside of their approved availability. No more scheduling issues\! ----- ### "All in one scheduler and social exchange" — 5.0/5 > **Tiara** | *13 November 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Users can be grouped into categories based on department, allowing for effective communication without clutter. Also users' title and contact information is kept in a master directory readily available to other users. Another great feature is push notifications regarding company announcements, published schedules, and schedule changes. No need to constantly check the app for changes. > > **Cons**: There is no free version of the app, which could be problematic for some employees. Although not expensive, some users don't like to pay for an app to view their schedule. ----- ### "hotschedules review" — 3.0/5 > **Darla** | *31 January 2017* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Requests off, availability, blackout dates, staff communication sections. The app works great for everyone. > > **Cons**: No ease of use when making the schedule - autocorrecting number entries constantly, schedule templates aren't what I need, schedule report is difficult to read. > > It's got so many options - none exactly what I need - that it is almost too cumbersome. I would like more flexibility to create template shifts and place them on days as needed, with it being ok that some days there are blank shifts left over. Rather than now, when if I make a template and want a day to be scheduled lightly, it tells the staff there's a house shift open. The template feature is practically more work than just starting from scratch each week. I hate entering the times of a shift and having it immediately autocorrect to the last half hour. For example if I want a shift to start at 1:30PM and end at 10:30PM, I have to type 1:30, click off and it will change it to 1:00, click back on to get to 1:30, and repeat to get the end time to read 10:30 instead of 10, then repeat to get PM instead of AM. I'd also like to not have to redo the schedule report generator so that it's easier to read every week, for the printed schedule we keep in the shop. All those outlines, yikes\! What I do like is the messaging/staff communication parts. Requests off are clear and easy, same with shift swapping. I like being able to create blackout days for no requests off, and I like that I can easily see who wants off when and when the RO was made. ----- ### "HotSchedules made life easier" — 5.0/5 > **Brittany** | *6 November 2022* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used this software when I worked at Cheddars Scratch Kitchen as a server, made it much easier to keep up with my schedule and trade,drop,or pick up shifts. And really easy to use and understand\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes there was a bit of a time delay on the app that made me to late to drop or pick up shifts but only sometimes. ----- ### "The best way to post work schedules" — 5.0/5 > **Rebecca** | *28 August 2018* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can access my work schedule whenever I want because it is both a website and an app. It not only tells you what your schedule is, but allows you to see who else you are working with. This is beneficial if you are trying to adjust your schedule for time off so you know exactly who is available and who is not, which saves a lot of time. > > **Cons**: If you have marked yourself as unavailable it should flag someone from being able to add you to the schedule in that slot so that the person creating the schedule realizes they have made an error. > > I have thoroughly enjoyed using the app, and it has allowed me to take opportunities that have made me additional money I otherwise would not have known about. I recommend the app to my other coworkers, as it is only a dollar or two one time and you never have to worry about losing your schedule or wondering when all your shifts are. ----- Page: 1 / 20\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/101499/hotschedules?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/101499/hotschedules) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
