About that free plan
Homebase has a real free plan for one location and up to 10 employees. It includes basic scheduling, basic time tracking and a POS connection. If that covers your operation, try it. Free is hard to argue with.
The paid tiers are where the comparison changes: Essentials is $30 per location per month and adds advanced scheduling, time tracking and team communication; Plus is $70 and adds PTO and time-off controls; All-in-One is $120 and adds labor-cost management, onboarding and HR tools.
Tasks, tip management and payroll are separate add-ons. Price the setup you would actually use, not just the starter plan.
Homebase is an all-in-one employee platform
Homebase brings scheduling, time clocks, payroll, hiring, onboarding and HR tools together. For operators who want one vendor across those jobs, that breadth is the point.
Schedulefly does not run payroll or post jobs. We handle the schedule, shift trades, time off, communication, documents, manager notes and labor forecasting, without pushing you through feature tiers.
What happens when you need help?
A broader product naturally has a broader support operation. Schedulefly is built differently. There are six of us, and you can call or text the owner directly.
That difference is hard to fit into a feature table, but it matters on Friday afternoon when a manager needs an answer before the weekend starts.
The small-company part is the point.
We started Schedulefly in 2007 and kept it intentionally small. Six people now serve 5,000+ restaurants and hospitality businesses.
Every customer gets every feature. There is no feature ladder to climb as your needs change.
The product stays focused on the work restaurant managers do every week: schedules, availability, shift trades, communication, documents, manager notes and labor visibility.
The service stays personal, too. Call or text Wil at 704-906-2031. You do not need a premium support plan to reach him.

Is Schedulefly or Homebase better for restaurants?
It depends on what you want. Homebase is the better fit when its broader feature set is important to your operation. Schedulefly is the better fit when you want focused restaurant scheduling, every feature included, flat pricing by restaurant size, and support from a small team you can call directly.
How much does Schedulefly cost?
Schedulefly costs $30 per month for up to 19 staff, $40 for 20 to 39, $50 for 40 to 59, and $60 for 60 to 79. Pricing is per restaurant, not per employee, and every feature is included.
Can I try Schedulefly before paying?
Yes. The trial lasts 30 days, requires no credit card, and a real person sets up the account within one business day.
