Employee Scheduling and Time management made easy
Reviewed on 9/11/2023
Pros
I have used Homebase for employee scheduling and time tracking for 2 years. It has made the job of keeping track of employee availability, leave of absence, and labor so much easier. So I spend more time on the development of other areas of my work.
Cons
Honestly, all the features that I would want are supported by Homebase on different product packages.

Pros
Great services and very user friendly interfaces. Far superior to anything recommended by my fanchisor!
Cons
Would like the messaging to have an option to enlarge the "message board" when its being used. Would like to see an easier option/path to temporarily add or reduce an individual's pay or salary

It makes my job so easy when it comes to keeping up with employees & tracking their hours. I want to see what the payroll piece will do. While I have a CPA doing my book keeping and doing payroll which cost me 600 monthly for two location. I want to really need to save money.
Pros
I love the way I can manage my employees schedule using Homebase, make schedules, and update pricing. The Clover is the best POS system since sliced bread.
Cons
I want to use HR, but it's too high for me at this time. I need to get a employee hand book completed and I have yet to do it and I've been using Homebase to almost 9 years.
