Excellent!
Reviewed on 10/05/2019
Pros
Love that I can do a daily labor check in and see all the associates easily in one place. Excellent for keeping track of days off and requests off. Easily add gratuities and bonus incentives. Can't think of any easier way to keep track of so many associate requests and hours.
Cons
That I have to scroll to the top to see the time card when I click on someones time card the start their last name is at the bottom of the alphabet. Honestly that is very insignificant in the great number of on that HE does for our property!!

not intended for stay over properties
Reviewed on 10/05/2019
I never liked due the property lay outs and occupancy neither the fact of extended stay properties and the fact of no getting reports easy to read for a supervisor as far as the ones for Hilton.
I have worked on 2 different properties and honestly never used since it never worked out for my properties.
Pros
easy to upload and saving time
I don't really have much that I could like
Cons
I don't like that is hard to give the same amount of rooms even when I have done all the things possible to do so,
A property like this is hard to have someone do 11 check outs plus stay overs
or having someone do 30 + stay overs due the amount of people per room and long stay guest
I believe the system set up would work great for a non extended stay properties

How awesome is this!!
Reviewed on 03/05/2019
My experience was a bit scary at first not knowing if I could correct my errors and just trying to operate the system. After a tad bit of repetitive practice I now am teaching the software to my colleagues.
Pros
The software allows me to easily access the database for everyday use. Tracking hours and making the proper adjustments is also what I like.
Cons
I'm not able to pull up everyone's schedule (I may not have access). However when another manager ask me to complete task for them I'm not always allowed to accommodate them.

Great tool
Reviewed on 10/05/2019
Great tool that all departments use daily.
Pros
When the product is teamed up with your time management system it gives great data on how your labor was used for the day, week, etc. I does a great job breaking down the data in more reports than you need but you can find the ones you like easily.
Cons
I do wish it updated faster when corrections are made to the time management system.

Reviewed on 12/11/2019
I love Hotel Effectiveness. I have been using it for years with two different hotel management companies. It is a high quality tool for our hotels.
Pros
Hotel Effectiveness is a great labor tracking tool. It makes daily review of hotel labor quick and easy. I love the myriad reports you can generate to break down the labor numbers.
Cons
I wish there was more functionality for myhotelteam.com. They should be able to switch shifts and more on the site. It should have its own app too.
Response from Hotel Effectiveness Solutions
Thank you for the review! Good news for you - the MyHotetTeam mobile app is going to be live in the App Stores (iOS and Android) in a few days! It includes some enhanced functionality, and over the next several months we will be implementing a number of major improvements to the service. We look forward to sustaining your happiness with our services and to working with your hotels!

Reviewed on 10/05/2019
Having Hotel Effectiveness has eliminated the 'manual' entry of employee timecards. The punches are electronically made and housed within Hotel Effectiveness. So when it comes time to process payroll it is so easy. Just pull a report and it can download all the payroll information into our payroll accounting software.
Pros
The software is very user friendly. It is easy to navigate from page to page. It has 'real time' punches. There is no need to 'wait' or having to manually capture time punches.
Cons
I have no cons about the software at this time.

Great Benefits are the Game Day Process for the housekeepers which keeps them up to date with their Minutes per Occupied rooms cleaned. The 5 mins labor check in helps me see who is getting close to overtime.
Pros
It is very user friendly system, and helps me keep up with MPOR , Revenues and Time Keeping.

Easy and A Minor Annoyance
Reviewed on 03/05/2019
Pros
Easy to access information and to schedule employees
Cons
I wish there was a monthly view of the scheduler. I like to input employee requests off as I get them and I don't like having to go through every week to get to the one I want.
Response from Hotel Effectiveness Solutions
Thank you very much for your review! We are happy that you like the product and are always available to help you if you need it.
The Time Off Request Manager will enable you to enter employee time off requests as far in advance as you like. You can also see them in one place at any time, and all pending and approved requests are built into the schedules for that week. Scheduling is available up to 13 weeks in advance, but you are correct that it is only available in weekly view. We are exploring monthly views for schedule but want to be sure that the information on the screen is readable.

Used to use it often but now we use internal data to get our statistics.
Pros
Rich features that take into account the many different ways labor is tracked for the hospitality industry. Daily emails for reporting is a nice plus.
Great time tracking ability.
Cons
Software is too cumbersome and unruly. You need to create easier workflows to make changes within a hotel. No single screen gives you a snapshot of how labor is setup.
You have to go to too many different parts of the software to setup employees and how they are tracked.
