    Everyone is on board with how to use it so avaialbility gaps have been closed and shift trading is easy!

    Pros

    I enjoy how easy to use this software is. User friendly. Very organized. Easy to update information. Clean and to the point.

    Cons

    I would like to see a mobile app for easy access on a mobile device. Alos would like to be able to trade shifts the day of. The software only allows within a 24 hour time window but some employees need same day swaps

    Response from Schedulefly

    Patience, thank you for the nice review! We've got an easy shortcut for you for your mobile device. Shoot us a note to [email protected] and we'll show you. Also, your employer has a setting in place preventing shift trades within 24 hours. That setting can be changed by them to enable same-day shift trades.
    Thanks!

    The software helps us keep all scheduling in line while ensuring our employees are responsible for their own time off requests and pick up needs. The message wall is helpful to get a message out to the entire team.

    Pros

    I like being able to have a view of a schedules draft while being able to edit. It is also helpful they do not need to be both set to the same position.

    Cons

    It would be helpful to have a feature that lists a prefers to work and does not prefer to work designation that each employee can fill out. Sometimes employees will try to use their time off requests to accommodate their preferences, not necessarily their actual availability.

    It would also be helpful to have shift swaps made clear, separate from shift pick ups.

    The mobile version of the site doesn't allow me to see a quick view of the schedule for the day of the pick up request.

    Schedulefly is especially great for a restaurant setting. We hire a lot of students and professionals in other industries with already busy schedules. Our staff enjoys the ease of switching shifts without having to come in to hand write on a paper schedule. The format is very clear and organized in a fast paced environment. There is also a great support system if any questions arise. I have already recommended using Schedulefly to friends of mine in the same industry, and they really enjoy it as well!

    Pros

    I really enjoy using this software. It makes the schedule very straightforward for the schedule makers and scheduled employees. Our employees really like the ease of checking schedules on their phone, the ability of switching shifts, and having communication with each other. I highly recommend using Schedulefly!

    Cons

    N/A - I have really liked it all - if I ever have a question the Schedulefly team is there to help me.

    We've had a fantastic experience with Schedulefly. We started using it with our first restaurant and as we've grown we've continued to use it.

    Pros

    The ability to communicate to our entire staff. We use the message wall for everything, and it's super user friendly and staff never miss a memo. We also sometimes communicate across all four restaurants in our group through a convenient dashboard which has eliminated the need for back and forth between managers.

    Cons

    Sometimes the schedule can be a bit difficult to read for some of our larger teams, but there's different ways to print so we work around it.
