Staffomatic: the first planning solution I used for 1 year

Staffomatic is a German schedule management solution. I chose it between 2015 and 2016 because it was the solution chosen by the delivery marketplaces, and their delivery people introduced me to this software.

Combo (ex Snapshift): the Parisian start-up on the rise

Snapshift is a solution that I did not choose for my professional needs, but I was able to test it with some of my colleagues, who showed me all of its features.

Their leitmotif: simplify the administration of restaurant managers, by offering solutions for both planning and timekeeping, associated with an export file optimized for accountants.

In short, a beautiful all-in-one solution, which has the advantage of matching French legislation.

Skello: Snapshift’s direct competitor

Skello is, like Snapshift, a young French company, created by two associates from ESCP and HEC (just that). They had the idea of creating Skello when they noticed that 95% restaurateurs were making their schedules on paper, or on Excel.

They recruit a coder and develop Skello, which will spread like wildfire among restaurants and hotels. Skello is just like Snapshift a solution fully adapted to French legislation, and the reports will be optimized and ready to send to your accounting firm.

For my part, this is the option I chose. It must be said that the Skello team is super friendly and spent a lot of time training us in all the subtleties of schedule management, a large part of which concerns legislation! Finally, their support is very responsive.

Conclusion, what to choose?

Here are the solutions that I recommend depending on your needs:

• If you need a simple planning solution, without the whole legal ecosystem around your activity (accounting reports, etc.), then opt for Staffomatic.
• If you are really looking for the best solution that fits your business, both practically, financially and legally, and you are based in France, then I advise you to opt for Combo (ex SnapShift) Or Skello, with your eyes closed. Between the two, it's up to you to see, depending on the feeling you have with the salespeople of these two start-ups.
