The tracking function for certifications is also helpful. The ability to designate minor team members and track their school schedules is also useful for compliance. > > **Cons**: Our location has an integrated system so we must wait 24-48 hours for our new hires to populate on HS. > > HotSchedules has proven adaptable for our business needs. It has useful tracking measures and team members appear to pick it up quickly. ----- ### "Chef made a way" — 5.0/5 > **Nathaniel** | *January 2, 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 ----- ### "The Features Set HotSchedules Apart" — 4.0/5 > **Leahya** | *January 9, 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part about HotSchedules is the ability to block out certain dates from being requested off by employees. Most scheduling software does not have this feature. > > **Cons**: The inventory feature of HotSchedules can be finicky on devices outside of a computer, meaning you have a hard time entering data unless you record it and take it back to a computer. ----- ### "HotSchedules for the Win" — 5.0/5 > **Kaitlyn** | *May 2, 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: its so easy to use I mean I'm not exactly the most tech savvy person but even I can figure it out most of the time. I can access my schedule from anywhere which is a total lifesaver no more worrying about losing my schedule or forgetting when I'm supposed to work. the app is super intuitive and I love how easy it is to swap shifts with my coworkers its saved me so much stress > > **Cons**: Okay so sometimes the app can be a little slow but like what app isn't right its not a huge deal or anything I wish there was a way to set reminders for upcoming shifts but thats really my only complaint occasionally I'll get a glitch and have to restart the app but its not the end of the world > > HotSchedules has been a total game changer for me I don't know how I ever lived without it. Its saved me so much stress and hassle and I love how easy it is to use. If youre looking for a reliable scheduling app look no further I'd def recommend it ----- Page: 1 / 20\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/52611/hotschedules?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/52611/hotschedules) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
