Nowsta Reviews

Nowsta is a staffing platform that was created especially for the Catering & Event Industry. They did their research on what was needed and that comes full circle as you use it daily. On top of having great Customer Support and response time to questions, issues, concerns or suggestions, Nowsta provides a streamlined staffing software that is easy to use for all. Our response times are cut in half and we have more immediate feedback if a staff member is going to accept the shift or not. The Time & Attendance feature is super simple to approve times and notice and discrepancies. I would highly recommend.

Currently, the only thing I wish I had with this software. I have is having to log into the web application as a Coordinator and not having access through the app for making day of/on-site changes to staff, but this is a rare need for us and easy to use the web version from a phone internet browser.

I was particularly impressed by Nowsta's user-friendly interface and the seamless experience it provides for both employees and managers. The scheduling system is intuitive and makes it easy to track shifts, manage availability, and communicate with the team. The integration with payroll systems is a major plus, saving time and reducing errors in payment processing. Additionally, the mobile app is convenient for on-the-go access and helps keep everyone in the loop with real-time notifications.

One area where Nowsta could improve is the customization of notifications. Sometimes the frequency of alerts can be overwhelming, especially during peak scheduling times. Also, while the platform is generally robust, occasional technical glitches can cause delays or confusion. Expanding the customer support hours would be beneficial as well, to ensure assistance is available during late shifts or weekends.

I really enjoy the ease of use of this program.

I wish there was an app for the phone to make the schedule

How easy it is to set up and use. And how flexible it is for our workers to use.

nothing so far. no real major flaws or setbacks.

Their customer service is always quick and easy if we ever need back-end information. The worker profiles are robust and great for HR tracking.

I would like if feature could be added to hide worker profile notes from certain assigned roles. Sometimes the pages lag/cannot keep up with the speed of changes and edits.

NOWSTA is very easy to use from scheduling to our staff accepting shifts.

I have not come across anything I don’t like about NOWSTA.

This is a great product for our catering and events management team. I am able to change schedules easy, and update details in real time.

I wished there was a few less "clicks" to navigate the pages.

I love the platform. very user friendly and has a ton of information

It could be better for the admin part of it. Would love to connect to see what can be done

Nowsta is very smart and very techy . We use it every day in the catering business . we love its integration with cater ease . how it auto populates and how we can easily get the hours to payroll from it

I wish they had an integrated payroll system so that we didn't have to import hours and use two different softwares

Nowsta creates a space where I can successfully create and customize events to our companies particular needs. We are also able to more easily evaluate our staff and track hours worked. Communication with our staff is an absolute breeze with the built in announcement feature.

I have not bumped into anything that Nowsta has not already changed (adding the "unavailable" feature was a dream come true)

We love the personalization of Nowsta and being able to make it work for our company needs. It is incredibly useful for our staff to use the mobile app to accept or decline shifts, see event and shift details, uniform information, and location parking information in the palm of their hand. We also love that it integrates with our catering system, Total Party Planner.

We wish there was a mobile app for managers & administrators! We are often working in the field and assisting with events so when changes need to be made to a shift or information needs to be updated real-time, we have to rush to a wifi zone and make changes from a laptop (if we even have it with us!) at an event. Making changes via mobile would be super helpful!

The customer service is top notch and the ease of use for the platform is 5 stars.

Inputing scheduling for staff can get buggy and the times sometimes need to be updated twice. (time and attendance)

How easy makes control a whole system for companies like our.

Some times its kind of too slow to load but it can also be part of the internet.

Nowsta is easy to use. We've integrated it with our sales software and can export shifts, request employees and track their time.

Honestly nothing, sometimes employees can't clock in correctly but that may have to do with phone/internet service.

Real time scheduling makes it very easy to staff events. Very user friendly for employees

Announcements are easy to miss sometimes

Nowsta is easy to use and a great tool to manage our large staff

The calendar set up is aligned in a confusing way

Nowsta is the tool we use to schedule and staff our events. Our life has been easier since using the app and our team loves it as well.

We don't like that we can't see if a team member has read our messages. Our team also cannot communicate/respond to us in the app.

It is a great tool for me as far as tracking upcoming shows and seeing at a glance what shows still need the positions filled

Occasionally when using my mobile and I try and put in a shift request I have to turn my phone sideways in order to get to the list of employees that I'm trying to request

I like how easy it is to view all the details for my events.

Sometimes the event location takes the google maps to the wrong location.

Nowsta is an essential scheduling and timeclock tool in our catering company. Employees in the field can easily get shift information including GPS directions, times, and uniform requirements They also can log breaks and timeclock info. Shift requests are easy and simple to respond to for employees. We have been using Nowsta for many years and are very happy with it.

I wish that Nowsta was a little easier to use for scheduling full time employees with somewhat regular shifts. They have a weekly scheduler in beta mode, but it is still clunky and doesn't allow you to schedule employees without entering individual daily shifts. Other programs we have used allowed us to Enter a shift and then click a box for which days of the week that shift applied to.

Ease of use and functionality. You can get your workflow up and running in no time and immediately feel it simplifying your scheduling workflows.

There could be small improvements, but for the money this app is phenomenal.

Ease of use and look of this product makes it an excellent platform for scheduling our team.

Would love if our wish list items could come true faster.
