Also the time sheets are great for tracking my employees time and adding manager notes\! > > **Cons**: While I do like scheduling- when I am building schedules sometimes things change- when I add a note to the shift and want to apply that note to other shifts already scheduled, it'll add a new shift instead of adding it to the existing one. It makes having to edit my published schedule VERY annoying. > > Overall, I really like HomeBase and I recommend it to the other businesses I have consulted/worked with. ----- ### "Great scheduling software for small business" — 4.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *23 April 2025* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We appreciated the communication features between management and our employees. It also streamlined the scheduling process, provided some HR tools, and integrated with payroll. > > **Cons**: It is not suitable for a larger business as it's functionality is more on the basic side. We only had 10 paid employees, but we also had 40+ volunteers. While the app was great for scheduling our paid employees, we struggled using it for the volunteers. > > We had tried to manage scheduling in house for the first year we were open and realized we needed a centralized program to help manage communication between management and employees. This platform provided that service in an easy to use way. The younger employees very much enjoyed the app format as well. ----- ### "Homebase Review" — 2.0/5 > **Junaid** | *4 March 2025* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It handles employee weekly pay easily, job scheduling, and in-app messenging. > > **Cons**: The mobile app is horrendous, very difficult to navigage scheduled jobs, assigned jobs, and completed jobs. Cant add job photos, hard to tell if a shift was picked up by an employee after posting. Using the desktop version is not feasible as we need to access the app on the go. > > Not great at all. Terrible user interface and everything seems scattered. ----- ### "Homebase is FANTASTIC\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tom** | *3 March 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We used ADP for 6 years. When we moved to Homebase we decreased our time doing payroll and onboarding. The system is rock solid and very easy to use. When I have a question, they are very responsive. The Homebase team is fantastic\! > > **Cons**: In our business the government requires breaks every 4 hours and in order to make sure that time is deducted by the system, we have to manually enter it for each employee's shift. While it does not take too long, it could easily be automated and I know other payroll system do it automatically. > > The very best decision we have made that reduced our time with payroll and improved our recored keeping\! Both management and our staff have been very happy with our move to Homebase\! ----- ### "Homebase for Stand Alone Businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Brandon** | *3 April 2025* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface. Ease of understanding the software. Easy to train a manager or assistance manager. If you use Clover it is already tied into their software making it easy for clocking in. Hard to get another clocking in program into Clover. > > **Cons**: Main con is I don't think you can't use it for multiple locations even if its within your same one business. You have to purchase a second or third subscription for multiple locations. Not ideal for a mobile food truck. Much more for stand alone business. > > We like Homebase we use it for two of our businesses. Its easy to understand. Best used for stand alone business not idea for a mobile food truck because there is lot a locations section. ----- Page: 1 / 47\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/107497/homebase?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/107497/homebase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
