SocialSchedules Pricing

Cost. For the features it offered, it seemed to be a good value and they didn't insist I use their credit card processor. My staff hasn't had really any difficulty using the program. It seems very straightforward.

Not that I have a lot of experience with this type of software but setting up some of the till-order details seemed like it could be more stream-lined. I know it is not specifically designed for restaurants but it would be great if it included more sub category options instead of having lots of multiple choice product group. Also, being able to have a negative charge option would be helpful when somebody want to remove an item from the meal.

Making a Schedule is very easy, especially on the following week as you just have to 'tweak' it. The employees like how easy it is to request time off. The timeclock works on Kindles, so a Timeclock kiosk is very inexpensive and even works during a power outage.

You need to play by their rules, and their is very little personalization possible (for example we prefer to schedule in 2 week sets, but you are forced into a single week at a time) It should be able to export directly into Quickbooks, but we have to manually enter the times There should be a section for entering each employee's availability so you don't schedule them outside of their available hours. This is a HUGE oversight.

If is easy to use, quick to put shifts on and for staff to select them. Since implementing it has definitely sped up the process of staff g jobs.

Would love to introduce the time management aspect of the software to save staff having to sign a form. However because you have to pay for each user and we have 88 that don't work all the time. It is not a cost effective option for us. If there was a monthly set fee that we could pay for the option that would be far better.

Live scheduling tool, any changes is immediately sent to the relevant people. Team can book time off on the software. There is an app for everyone to use. Its simple and not bulky. Gives you a breakdown of cost per day. You can have offsite working.

Not having the ability to talk to SAP Payroll. Not having the ability to input other breaks in a shift (paid and unpaid) you can only put one break in.

I love that it is free. I love that whenever I have had an issue, support is always very helpful. Being able to post opportunities and send messages through the app is great.

There are only a few things that I would like to see different with the software. I would like to see push notifications of opportunities. Be able to change the default settings of who can apply, because network only works better for me by default than invite only.

GPS function, change shifts on the go, great messaging, easy shift allocation as SimSim learns over time with suggestions. Customer service is very good with online chat, and tech desk resolution if issue not resolved in chat.

Can't enter regular shifts as recurring. So we have to continue with Jorte Calendar to keep regularity of shifts (daily, weekly, bi weekly, 4 weekly, monthly etc...). Some updates can be frustrating as you have to 'find out yourself' while using.

i love that i can select how much the different job positions get paid so i can see how much the company will be spending on labor each week. it makes it incredibly easy to see where i can cut down on labor to make our percentage lower.

i wish that i could actually make the schedule on my phone, instead of only being able to edit it.

I like the price, because we are a non-profit organization with about 20 volunteers. I needed something that would keep track of everyone and with your product I can see the schedule on my phone or computer. It is very handy.

I'd like to be able to schedule people from my phone.

web-based, price, and on-boarding for employees. The software gives you the flexibility that you need when running payroll.

No phone app. It is difficult to navigate the first uses.

I like the ability to adjust a single day of availability and the ease of communication with the scheduling supervisor for things like time off requests. There are a lot of functions for this software, such as seeing the schedule of the whole team for the week.

The feature access is unintuitive and difficult to work with. An example of this: the only way to see the full team schedule is to open the mobile version and rotate into landscape view. There are some features you can only use on mobile and some you can only use on desktop browser.

Has all of the features I was looking for!

My staff has had a bit of a hard time picking up on how to use it. Would love to see them sent a link with an overview of the software when they're invited to join your organization in the app.

it is great tool for those who do not work every day. If someone calls out sick, I can look from home to see who I can call in to cover. Have access to schedule even if I am out of town.

allowing new staff to get access easy. we have had several phones that will not take passwords, will not allow viewing for manager access. I do not like how it prints the schedule. I use a color, shift specific lay out. Not user friendly if you have never used it before as a manager. Training was not helpful on line. needed someone to show me.

Ease of use, constantly upgraded, price, GUI

Nothing

It's free! It does lack a few features that paid software has but for the price, this is an excellent bit of kit.

Some of the options are a bit limited. Idlike to be able to xolour shifts and title days off. Takes patience to get past user errors

Ease of use for both administrators and end users

There have been very few if any issues with Opensimsim

I love the social media aspect of allowing the employees to message and the ease in scheduling around availabilities.

I wish it were easier to copy a schedule from one week to the next

I love the interface and ease of creating the same schedule for each week. It is easy to add individuals to the team and connect them to the app/website. I also really enjoy that there is an option to add breaks in the shift of individuals.

The only drawback is having a single individual's schedule be able to repeat rather than the entire workbook for all the scheduled employees, since sometimes 1-3 peopple may change their schedule in the semester.

the affordabiity and time card software.

nothing. I find for the price it does everything you could want.

It's super easy to use and implement. It is fairly customizable. I think it will have great potential later if we choose to integrate our payroll software.

There are some big missing features, like the ability to see draft (unpublished) shifts from a mobile device, for one. Hopefully, they implement the features that are simple to do sooner than later.

Ease of use, free cost. Breakdown of workers by department. Live chat is great.

Slow loading times, ability for workers to block schedule. Odd bugs that pop up in the program.

I enjoy how easy it is to get staff to take and give up shifts and communicate through the app

Would be nice to change the start and end times of the weeks to adjust for different pay periods. We originally had Friday as the end of payroll but had to shift to Sunday to use the app without a lot of extra work.

ease of use, value, portability, multi location options

Cannot write and publish schedules from app

Opensimsim is a great product for the price. It is very functional and allows for a lot of customization for your work environment.

Not very intuitive, difficult to get a hang of and for employees to use. Not everyone uses their phone to apply for time off.

Allows all employees to see shifts, simple app interface

Inability to print directly from app (export to Excel), does not allow supervisors to input requested "days off" into employee schedules
