Employee scheduling and labor management for restaurants
HotSchedules, part of Fourth, is a widely used scheduling and labor management solution for restaurants and hospitality. It helps managers build schedules quickly using sales forecasts, manage shift swaps and availability, and keep labor costs in line with demand. Employees use the mobile app to view schedules, swap shifts, request time off, and message teammates, reducing the phone calls and confusion that plague manual scheduling.
Beyond scheduling, HotSchedules offers labor forecasting, compliance tools, and reporting that give operators visibility into labor spend and productivity. As part of the Fourth ecosystem, it connects with inventory, payroll, and analytics for broader workforce management. HotSchedules is designed for restaurants and multi-unit hospitality operators that want to simplify scheduling, improve team communication, and control labor costs.
