Homebase AI Scheduling Assistant

Building next week's schedule on a Sunday night? Homebase helps hourly teams with scheduling, time clocks, and team chat, and it lists AI help too. Homebase's pricing page lists what each plan includes. Here's the short version, as of Oct 28, 2026.

What Homebase lists:

• AI-powered Scheduling Assistant: on the Plus plan.
• Scheduling and time tracking: build your weekly schedule, and let staff trade, cover, and claim open shifts.
• Labor cost tools: overtime alerts and schedules built from forecasted sales, on higher plans.
• Hiring Assistant: listed as an add-on to help with job posts and interviews.
• Support: Homebase lists 24/7 AI chat support and a Help Center.

Who it's for: restaurants, shops, salons, and other teams with hourly staff.

Good to know: check AI-built schedules for fairness and availability before you publish them. A person makes every hiring decision.

Picture this: you run a sandwich shop with 14 part-time staff, many of them students. Every week you juggle class schedules, time-off requests, and a busy Saturday lunch. Homebase lists an AI-powered Scheduling Assistant on its Plus plan, and lets staff trade and claim open shifts, so you spend your time checking the schedule instead of building it from scratch. (Our illustration of what Homebase lists.)

Questions to ask before you start:

• How many locations do you have? Homebase prices per location.
• Do you need payroll too? Homebase lists payroll as an add-on.
• How will you check fairness? Look at who gets the best and worst shifts over a month.

Try it this week: 1. Start the free trial and add your team. 2. Build one week's schedule with the assistant. 3. Ask two staff members whether it works for them before you publish.
