What to look for in a schedule maker
Whether you use this tool or another, these are the things that actually save managers time.
Good news! Every one of these is built into Homebase. Free.
Why hourly teams upgrade to Homebase
This free tool handles the basics. Homebase handles everything else.
Homebase has helped us streamline our team schedule. As a wedding venue there are a lot of roles to coordinate, and Homebase helps us verify the right staff are showing up at the right time each and every day.
It is great for planning and budgeting. We do two-week schedules and you can see how things work. Especially right now, with labor costs going up, it really helps us track.
Before Homebase, we were printing out timesheets and manually calculating hours. To keep up with the times, we switched to Homebase, and it has made our lives so much more efficient!
As a small business I want to leverage tools that help me with systems and make things easier for my team. Homebase even let me add paid time off to their benefits, a huge win for our small shop.
