Pros

“The platform provides a comprehensive and efficient solution for managing schedules, tracking employee hours, and maintaining clear communication within a team.”

Yasmin M.

“Its user-friendly design reduces the learning curve and allows both managers and employees to navigate the system with ease. Despite some minor technical limitations, Deputy consistently delivers on its core functionalities and contributes to a more organized and productive workflow.”

“High schedule works across multiple companies, so those multiple companies tie in together when it comes to the website so it makes things super efficient”

Nathaniel W.

Chef

“All in all, I can say how schedule is very efficient fast and reliable when it came to my schedule and my time off request and a lot of other things”

Chef

Cons

“At times, the app could feel a bit complex for simple tasks, and some features required extra steps.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“This can be frustrating when, for example, an employee returns early from a doctor's appointment, thinks they have punched in, but their supervisor finds out when approving timesheets that the punch was not logged.”

Amy E.

Vice President

“For Australian Users - this product is NOT COMPLIANT to pay in accordance with the awards.”

Nicole D.

Manager

Cons

“The inventory feature of HotSchedules can be finicky on devices outside of a computer, meaning you have a hard time entering data unless you record it and take it back to a computer.”

Leahya W.

Assistant Manager

“The integration with Point of Sales system is tricky and time consuming. ”
