It's okay.

What do you like best? I like that you can see your own schedule on a calendar. That makes it easy for me to play ahead and visualize my entire week. What do you dislike? I dislike that the hotschedules app is not free. I also dislike that you can't see every staff members work time. It only lets you see your own category. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? When using the mobile site on my phone it is difficult to try and manipulate.

I love using Hot Schedules

What do you like best? Working a job during school is hard in its own, but it becomes even more taxing when the way you get your schedule is complicated or last minute. However, with HotSchedules, I have my schedule in the tip of my fingers at all times. What do you dislike? There isn't too much I dislike, but I would like to be able to see other people's schedules in a way that is simpler. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would recommend it to anyone! It is ...

So easy to use, even a child can do it

What do you like best? I love HotSchedules. I’ve been using it for about 6 years now. It’s very easy on the eyes, you can look and see when you’re scheduled, who you’re scheduled with, and who isn’t working. Communicating with staff isn’t difficult like it sometimes can be when you’re actually in the workplace and need to look up someone’s number or email address. What do you dislike? As a manager, it sometimes can take a while to input employees’ upcoming schedules. ...

Braums scheduling

What do you like best? They have the entire week of schedule posted on there and also who will be working or not working the shift. What do you dislike? You have to wait for managers to view your requests and also rely on other people to pay attention to be able to call in or call off work. Recommendations to others considering the product: Have your employer show the ins and outs of the application and it should be easy to use. What problems are you solving with the product? ...
