Best for
Restaurants of any size that want scheduling, labor forecasting, tips, and team chat in one restaurant-native app.
Pros
- Free tier covers a small single-location team
- Restaurant-specific scheduling with labor forecasting
- Team chat, availability, and time-off built in
- Fast payback from less overtime and saved admin time
Cons
- Add-ons (tips, tasks, payroll) stack cost per location
- Per-location pricing climbs for multi-unit
- Prices increased in 2025
Integrations
Integrates with major POS systems (Toast, Square, Clover and others) and payroll providers.
Alternatives
Our take: The most restaurant-focused scheduler, with a genuinely useful free tier to start. Watch the add-ons, since tips and tasks can quietly double the per-location bill.
