### "All in one application to handle scheduling to payroll" — 4.0/5

> **Michael** | *09 August 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoy having my employees having an all in one application for time keeping, scheduling, and it rolls into payroll. It was really easy to implement for our team and super intuitive.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there were ways for me to handle scheduling through an app like employees can manage their time keeping.

### "Square Shifts for Cafe Use" — 4.0/5

> **Collin** | *31 July 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The integration with Square’s stack of POS, Payroll, Reporting and shifts makes it the easy decision for us. It’s relatively cheap and has all of the features we need.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish that creating the physical schedule was easier. Possibly a shift copy feature so I could copy a shift and give it to another employee. Or something that was a little more mobile friendly. Wish employees were able to request off for half days instead of only full days.
> 
> Positive. It’s the right choice for us since we’re already using all of square’s other products.

> 
> **Pros**: It is easy for our employees to use as they can set their availability, enter time off, pick up shifts, and clock in and out all from their phone easily.

> 
> Overall I’m happy with the product
