All shift changes are approved by management via smartphone or computer and real time alerts are sent out.
Pros
You could have a flip phone from 2008, have no fear...Schedulefly is going to still send you real time notifications and send real time notifications to the management team.
Cons
The only thing I wish was that Schedulefly had more of a following. They put HotSchedules to shame, Schedulicity to shame, etc. Unfortunately, both of those software systems tend to be used more which I think is a shame.

In the years that we have used the system, we have called about 4 times, not for issues, but for adding a location, or asking for a little guidance on a report. Each call was answered by one of the guys and they were very pleased to talk with us, and guide us int the right direction.
Pros
Value-added reports, team messaging, system dashboard for all locations, post to one or all locations.
Cons
Honestly, I haven't found an issue with the service

Does one thing and does it well which is scheduling. So it's not bloated with add-on features or functionality making it simple to use even for non-tech savvy users.

Navigating dates in the reports screen takes too many steps.

As such, the time spent by management on scheduling has decreased dramatically.
Pros
Everything! The system is perfect for our use in contacting employees and scheduling them.
Cons
I have found nothing about this system that I dislike. However, it would be nice to be able to embed photos. I may simply not know how to do this, but would like to be able to let m y staff see actual promotional pieces and photos of specials etc.

Being a manager of a restaurant with numerous employees, it becomes a struggle trying to keep up with every ones availability. Schedulefly has made it so I don't have to and I am able to spend the hour that i was using to remember everyone's schedule to actually focus on my work. Thank you Schedulefly Soulshine Pizza in Flowood thanks you very much.

Patience, thank you for the nice review! We've got an easy shortcut for you for your mobile device. Shoot us a note to support@schedulefly.com and we'll show you. Also, your employer has a setting in place preventing shift trades within 24 hours. That setting can be changed by them to enable same-day shift trades.
Thanks!

For bottom dollar, it is a very good option. Much better than paper and pencil. Solid communication platform for staff too. Great entry level for someone with minimal needs
Pros
Very easy to use for managers and staff.
Cons
No app available which isn’t a deal breaker but at the time website was not optimized for mobile browsing

The software helps us keep all scheduling in line while ensuring our employees are responsible for their own time off requests and pick up needs.
Pros
I like being able to have a view of a schedules draft while being able to edit. It is also helpful they do not need to be both set to the same position.
Cons
It would also be helpful to have shift swaps made clear, separate from shift pick ups. The mobile version of the site doesn't allow me to see a quick view of the schedule for the day of the pick up request.
