Now I am stuck doing an excel sheet schedule and the forwarding it to an admin to enter it into two systems. > > I miss working with it and I usually don’t say that about software but it really made scheduling so much easier. We have another schedule app now and if someone didn’t download they all they won’t get told their schedule. Hot schedules will email and text to anyone ----- ### "Chef made a way" — 5.0/5 > **Nathaniel** | *2 January 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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 > > **Cons**: The only downside to hot schedules is that once employment is ceased. The immediate deconstruction of your account is kind of scary. > > 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 ----- ### "Great tool for scheduling and communicating with teams\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 December 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use system that is widely used in the industry so most managers have experience with it.
