Pros

Overall, I really loved my experience with HotSchedules. It was a great program for me to know when and what shifts I was working.
Hotschedules won our business by having the best Aloha POS integration of all the companies we spoke with.
It's a great way to communicate between coworkers, on top of scheduling, time off, etc. It's well organized and easy to navigate.

Pros

Once you have a chance to work with it, it makes staffing a breeze. The customer service is fantastic and receptive to all questions.
Great service, user friendly and easy to navigate. The tech support is easy and they help you out right away.
Very supportive support team and readily available whenever we required any help. All our feedbacks were heard and acted upon them at the earliest which was very impressive.

Cons

Customer service is terrible. I have emailed and called about 3 open tickets and no one will call me back or respond.
The most annoying thing about is the notifications. I think everyone gets all the notifications.
Overall, every restaurant should seriously look into an app like HotSchedules. It saves time and stress on all, avoiding hand written notes that get lost.

Cons

The texting feature is too expensive and what was told to me in the beginning is not what is being charged.
Time clock is a bit of an issue for the staff, majority of time it give problems and staff is unable to clock in or out of their shift.
The receipt of multiple emails from multiple people is overwhelming. I know that can be modified from the user end, but it is still obnoxious.
