They did their research on what was needed and that comes full circle as you use it daily. On top of having great Customer Support and response time to questions, issues, concerns or suggestions, Nowsta provides a streamlined staffing software that is easy to use for all. Our response times are cut in half and we have more immediate feedback if a staff member is going to accept the shift or not. The Time \& Attendance feature is super simple to approve times and notice and discrepancies. I would highly recommend. > > **Cons**: Currently, the only thing I wish I had with this software. I have is having to log into the web application as a Coordinator and not having access through the app for making day of/on-site changes to staff, but this is a rare need for us and easy to use the web version from a phone internet browser. ----- ### "We Love NOWSTA\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Lee** | *August 6, 2024* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The time it saves our team every week as we juggle staffing each week. It's especially helpful when changes happen (as we all know they do). The built in communication tools are great for alerting our team to changes quickly. > > **Cons**: We also have restaurants and just haven't been able to figure out how to use if for that staffing as well. > > Nowsta's platform is so intuitive it has been a lifesaver for staffing our catering events. The ease of use for our team and the communication tools built into the platform save us hours of work each week. ----- ### "Terrible" — 3.0/5 > **Daniel** | *November 3, 2022* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don't, the whole point of the company is to track employees and they can't even do that correctly. > > **Cons**: Customer service. They refuse to help me when I shared with them that their platform is misreporting all of the calculations from overtime worked, total pay, and total hours worked. Very basic math required to figure this out and they can't even do that correctly > > Terrible. completely terrible. They were never available to help me with a problem or take accountability for their software's mistakes ----- ### "Very Satisfied Customer" — 5.0/5 > **Jill** | *October 17, 2023* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is extremely user-friendly and takes very little training. > > **Cons**: The Customized csv for import is still not 100% correct and manual changes have to be made before importing. > > I am happy with the product and it has streamlined our scheduling and payroll and has eliminated many paycheck errors. ----- ### "Great Staffing tool" — 5.0/5 > **Rosemary** | *July 17, 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quick, easy to see availability of front of house staff and schedule accordingly Love the ability to note on individual staffing when they worked shifts. We use it as a tool to document what a new staff member learned on shift and if they need to improve. Great tool overall communication from event staff to record growth or needs > > **Cons**: Nothing that i can think about at this time > > Excellent, it is also a timesaver for scheduling when i have other operational duties ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2034563/nowsta?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2034563/nowsta) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | ----- ## Structured Data
