I love how us employees can simply make schedules and track time. It also helps companies on thier payrolls and recruiting.

It has a little problem on first time logging in on this software. I hope they have a solution for that.

We are on the essentials plan. We have 45 employees. some of those employees are able to do more than 1 job. some of those jobs are a higher paying position (like bartender vs busboy)

When you hire a bartender at $15 per hour, if that bartender picks up a job as a busboy at $10 per hour - the software won't allow you have that bartender get paid at $10 unless you upgrade to their "plus" plan.

What was not explained was why this just became an issue in december 2023 and was not an issue when we onboarded all employees in september.

for that reason - i will not be renewing and will be sourcing a new sofrware. if i'm going to pay a higher cost, it wont be for the lack of customer service i've recieved to date.

i'll gladly update this review if the team can fix my issue but based on the customer service response i've seen so far...i dont see that happening without me making some noise.

Pros

The price was better than our old provider, wheniwork but maybe it turns out that you get what you pay for?

Cons

Customer service is very limited in what they are willing to say or do and you dont have a rep or salesperson other than when they first try to take your money and get you to sign up. I've sent messages for support or attempted to call or email my old rep that signed me up that went unanswered. When they have been answered - its been covered in technical jargon instead of a simple "yes you can do that by doing this or no, thats not available on your plan.

Having scheduling, time tracking, payroll, tax filing, workers comp insurance and audits all in one place is a lifesaver.

Pros

It's been a valuable tool for being able to use historical sales data to decide how many employees to schedule on any given day. It helps me budget wages accurately.

Cons

Some functionality is clunky with too many steps, occasionally we have problems with the time clock, geolocation doesn't work.

We are a very small business and to be able to use the clock in and out feature on the free program is great. I am able to see when my employees are clocked in or not instead of going by he said she said. It has helped a lot in determining if we need to keep, promote, or fire employees.

Pros

I love the fact that They have a free program that I can use to track my employees clock in and out. I also love that I can use it for Payroll.

Cons

The mobile version is different from the desktop version. I prefer the desktop version better.

Cons

Homebase is literally an addiction. All of the tasks that need to be done with this product are agonizing for any manager. But this product makes it not only easy, but enjoyable! I actually love performing all the tasks on Homebase because it is so practical, straightforward and simple. I am on the app multiple times a day just reminding myself of who is working when. I would be lost without this product and in terrible shape. Thank you for 3 years of making my life easy!

Pros

Ease of use. It is so convenient to have everything you need inside the app. The schedule building is so simple and practical. Everyone can see it and request changes. I love that the manager features can be accessed inside the app. Almost everything can be accessed without a computer.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike. The only thing I ask is that you please do not change or complicate the setup because it is so practical and easy to find everything. Please do not complicate it. It's just right the way it is!

A very positive experience and software that I utilize regularly for multiple jobs in hospitality. Even though I have been using this product for a couple of years now, I am constantly learning about new features within Homebase.

Pros

The versatility of functionality. A fantastic scheduling system that allows for different calendars/schedules for different teams, as well as colour coding for various positions. Ability to have multiple jobs under different tabs that can be easily navigated between. Ability to see projected earnings as well as actual earnings in real time. Also the ability to clock in and out from an employees own mobile device is very helpful.

Cons

The only issue that has continued to arise on various occasions is notifications not coming through on Iphone. This continues to occur even when notification settings are turned on and when app has been deleted and re-downloaded. Aside from this, functionality is amazing.

Overall we love homebase. We started out using it as a test with just 1 location now we use it for 9 different businesses. Some of them have office staff, some remote/traveling staff that use GPS on app clock in/clock out and some have staff that clock in when they get to work using on location computers. It couldn't be quicker to set up and get started and the fact that you have a forever schedule history is an awesome feature. Plus depending on the features you need - you can try it out for free (as in free free - their starting price point is zero)

Pros

Simple interface, quick timesheet edits and complete edit/history tracking for all changes made to anything in their system.

Cons

The applicant tracking and job posting system is terrible. No app integration, mixed up listings if you have multiple businesses with different names, only one landing page listing jobs for all your locations combined...the list goes on. Skip this unless you are only one location or all of your businesses share the same brand/name.

Have been blessed with the ability to utilize a free app that allows me to schedule crew members & allows them to message each other if schedules need to change. Our volunteer ambulance agency also frequently holds training for other departments, meaning that I can add crew members/roles while I have students & then can remove them once classes are completed. Other apps that I have used had caps on the number of persons allowed to be added & even after deleting a person they still counted on the total number, meaning I couldn't add anybody else.

Pros

Allows volunteer ambulance team members to communicate & monitor schedule on the go. If an emergency happens we can communicate with each other remotely.

Cons

Messages are at times delayed. I don't "blame" Homebase due to the quality of our cell service in our area has been poor the past few months.

Overall would absolutely recommend, even if you just utilize the scheduling aspect. As an established business I had pretty much everything except the scheduling portion covered. (I was using paper schedules - oh the headaches!)

Pros

Ease of use for both me, scheduling and staff utilizing. Even the ones that are not "tech savvy". The lack of headaches with staff wanting to switch shifts is taken out of my responsibility pile and placed firmly in the app. My absolute favorite new tool of the year!

Cons

As I do not utilize anything other than the scheduling aspect and that portion is a free service, there is nothing to b1tch about. :)

Good options but struggles at times

Reviewed on 28/03/2024

Pros

We have used Homebase for our needs for the last 7 years. There are many features that are nice that we use. The timeclock is the main feature that we use as it allows our team members to clock in and out right from their phones. It also give them how many hours they have worked and how much pay they have made.

Cons

The message and schedule feature is hard. The Message feature constantly stops working so our team members dont get the notifications. Also trying to schedule for a month at a time is very hard and it could be easier. I have asked that they make it easier but nothing has changed.
