### "Great Scheduling Software\!" — 4.0/5

> **Emily** | *June 17, 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We use MakeShift in our restaurant to manage staff schedules, shift swaps, and time-off requests. The platform is easy for both managers and employees to use, and the mobile app makes it simple for staff to check schedules and receive updates. It has significantly reduced scheduling conflicts and the time spent creating weekly rosters.
> 
> **Cons**: I enjoyed everything about the program and its ability for employees to manage availability and request shift changes directly through the app has improved communication across the team
