Great scheduling app

Love Homebase! We were looking for an option to make scheduling easier for everyone and a way to streamline requests. This is SO easy for everyone to use, convenient and meets all our needs. Scheduling is a breeze - I love that staff can block out times that don’t work for them, request time off and trade shifts. This is all with the free version. We tried the paid version - there were some nice options like blocking time off and the clocking in, but I didn’t like that it gave you the option to choose what time you arrived. I would recommend this to someone looking for a great app to use! The app is very user friendly!

Easy and Essential! (Employee Point of View)

Been using Homebase for just over a year and I love it! Very easy to view shifts for yourself, coworkers, and other available shifts. I usually turn off all notifications on apps, but the 1hr pre-shift notification on the app has saved me numerous times lol! I’ve recommended it to other managers to use for their teams to help with organization and scheduling. The app is very user-friendly, and I love that employees are color-coded to make viewing on the web a lot easier! I love that everything you need is within the app; checking schedules, requesting cover, available shifts, messaging, and [estimated] earnings.

Restaurant magic?

I have worked in F&B since I was 16. As such, I have dealt with multiple forms of scheduling from the management to employee the employee side of things using different apps and the classic paper and email way of doing things. Home-base is by far the most useful and user-friendly scheduling tool out there. With options to text employees automatically before shifts, request offs and shift changes done in app by the employees themselves allow for smooth operation. I would highly recommend this to any F&B operation in need of some help with scheduling. All in all, this app will save you time, stress, your life as a manager that much easier.
