Opiniones de Nowsta

We started using NOWSTA almost 2 years ago and it has made scheduling so much more efficient. We use it throughout our company - from servers and bartenders, to kitchen, warehouse, and office workers. The platform is user friendly for both schedulers and staff. Our Staffing Coordinator of almost 13 years says we have never been fully staffed so early for our events! And she doesn't have to rely on temporary staff as much anymore because we are staffed more efficiently.
Bonus - Nowsta's email newsletters are very informative and concise in the topics of labor laws, staffing trends, and other topics related to our industry.

Nothing major that I am aware of! Overall, it works well.

Time & Attending for clock in-clock out by mobile excess

We like the time clock app that our managers can download to clock in our staff anywhere. The ease of requesting staff, sending messages, etc. through the platform is great.

We are eagerly awaiting a way for our staff to communicate back to us through the app. Currently, it is only one-way messaging outward.

This was exactly the solution we were looking for. As a caterer with multiple locations (including new ones), different size/time/types of events, Nowsta allows the flexibility needed while communicating the way our team wants to communicate.

We love it! Support is always listening for new feature suggestions.

It’s super easy to use and there are (so far) no glitches. The last thing you want is a program messing up mid scheduling. I love being able to rate employees and it’s super easy for my staff to see all the details of the shifts they’re working. It also reminds them to show up 2 hours prior!

Nothing so far. Obviously it’s constantly updating which can be a pain but it’s worth it to have a nice easy to use software

The ease of use and integration with Total Party Planner

We would like there to be an option that an administrator is able to clock in/out employees without having to be the event owner.

very simple but effective for working in the Subcontractor market

its slow and doesn't receive very well in some areas

I have been using the software for over 2 years now and have seen it develop into the great product that it is today. What I like most is that the Nowsta team is dedicated to really understanding the needs of their end users and developing a system that is perfect for event industry professionals.

We have been able to really cut down on overtime in every department, have a much higher response rate from staff who are receiving offers to work, and management is able to track hours and run payroll reports much more efficiently with this system in place.

The many different levels of permissions allow me to customize what each person using the system is able to see and access in the system. My Sales team can see schedules, but not pay rates and are not able to adjust times/ shifts. Department head can see pay rates, and enter schedules, but are not able to create or remove another admin user. Event staff can not access the admin portal at all.

There are many great features that this system has that several others on the market simply do not consider or offer, and I would highly recommend taking a look at it if you are not already a user.

As with any system that is still in development, there are still a few hick ups in the program. The Nowsta team works diligently to iron out the kinks but this causes the system to go down for unexpected periods of time and staff is unable to clock in/out.

Nowsta easily integrates with other systems that make scheduling events a breeze for our company. The interface is extremely user friendly and is not cumbersome like many other systems that have been used in the past.

There needs to be an attendance (point based) system in place that keeps track of an employee calling in, being late, etc. Progressive attendance based systems are important for companies where hourly employees are expected to maintain an acceptable level of attendance. I would like to see a system added to Nowsta in the future that will make it easy to track attendance so employees can be held accountable for poor attendance.

I love both the desktop in the mobile app. Thanks to Nowsta we have a very easy time communicating with our staff in real time.

Just like any other sort of technology today it takes a little getting used to. We were coming from an antiquated system to something fresh and new, but the team walked us through everything step-by-step, and make sure that we understand every aspect of the app..

Easy to integrate with TPP.
Easy to use.
Easy for staff to use.

Would like to be able to add gratuities etc to an employees T+A so the csv exported to payroll program is one step only.
The report 'Time Sheet' needs to include guest count.

I really like the ease of use and how well it integrated with our other programs. It saves me a lot of time. A lot!

One improvement I could recommend would be to have a system of ranking staff and scheduling based on rank rather than having to create different staff titles to do this.

We love how easy Nowsta is to use, not only on an administrative end but for our employees as well!

As a full service off-premise catering company, we use Nowsta to build events into our calendar, staff, track hours and attendance, share details about each event. We can sometimes have multiple events in a day, and it is easy to keep information organized with Nowsta. We have even been able to staff last minute call outs with the push of a button! So handy!

No cons about Nowsta, we really love it!

Nowsta makes my life so much easier. It also helps me catch when I make mistakes on times and dates.

I wish that when I started doing the staffing I would had some one on one training. It has a lot of cool features that I had to figure out on my own.

This software is easy to use and fast! I can update a schedule and the employee is instantly notified by text and email! It's so efficient and effective. I love it - it has really had things faster on the scheduling end.

No cons yet - I have found everything very easy to use!

We have been extremely happy with the ease of setup and training. The support team have been great to work with and super responsive when we have questions or concerns.

No real cons to address. It is still a work in progress and we look forward to the future changes that are coming.

The product is overall very clear, clever, and clean. Easy to understand, with a very well-designed interface.
In regards to engineering and practices, the product is very well built: Fast, minimal, real-time, responsive, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to use.

Is very easy and intuitive to navigate through the interface, schedule, input data, and integrate with other devices. Good ecosystem.

We would like to see a more ATS-oriented software, where applicants could input their own information from a web portal or an external device (such as an iPad i.e.), cutting times on data inputs, and more comprehensive applicant/worker profiles, where you could store documents and paperwork related to that individual (such as tax paperwork i.e.).
