Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Homebase works best for small teams with straightforward scheduling needs. Before shortlisting, verify that the app's weekly availability settings match your staffing model—some managers report needing to set availability daily instead, which adds friction if your business operates on fixed weekly rotations. Test the navigation during your demo, particularly the ...Read more

Easy for employees

What do you like best? As an employee using homebase changed the way I planned and budgeted each week and month. Knowing about what to expect in earnings was big when life changes came up. What do you dislike? It isn't as precise as I'd like since it won't let you take certain taxes and costs out of your expected earnings at times. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It's made the scheduling and planning process around work much ...

Small Business Scheduling

What do you like best? My favorite part of the app is that it allows employees to manage their shifts by trading others or covering shifts but requires the managers approval first. What do you dislike? I dislike the fact that an employ cannot request a portion of their shift to be coveted but only the entire shift. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I am solving a lot of scheduling issues such as time off requests by having a ...

Homebase is a user friendly interface for all levels of scheduling.

What do you like best? Workers can receive emails and texts about their schedules and even request time off from their phones or home computers. Managers who are not required to track their time can use the site to let others know when they will be away. Managers may also see if and when an employee has viewed a specific schedule, so no more "forgotten" shifts. We can also regulate when they can clock in, so no early birds and each employee is required to take a full break. What do you ...
