Overall checkfront is a good program that also offers help when needed. With fixes to above issues we believe checkfront would be one to reckon with compared to other programs.
We love that its a one stop shop for booking and waivers and payments. It streamlines everything we need all in one place without confusion.
The pricing is a bit high compared to other top schedulers and to do more detailed scheduling it can get a bit confusing and overwhelming. Also there currently is no solution for growing business or multiple locations so thats a bummer.

Has been great, would like to see more reaction to requests being submitted by individuals and groups on the forum
Easy to sign up and get going. Good reporting
Needs more integrations such as CRA, and calendars for scheduling rentals - Needs Customer accounts so they can sign in and re-order what they had previously - Needs Customer rewards program - Inventory needs to be able to capture more info on each item

Checkfront is fairly easy to use and offers you the possibility to set it up for a multitude of product types, such as transportation, restaurant reservations and experiences. The ability for customers to pay directly on an invoice with various payment methods is neat. For a small business, Checkfront does the job.
Reporting is poor and does not offer many customisation options. Not being able to assign a guide for an experience shows that this software lacks basic functionality. Employee scheduling in such an app is a must. It doesn't have to replace an employee scheduling software, but one should be able to directly assign an employee to an item on the schedule. The widgets on the dashboard didn't really provide...
