HotSchedules, an online restaurant employee schedule provider, today announced the release and immediate
availability of its restaurant employee scheduling application for

The initial release of the HotSchedules Android app includes
employee-facing functionality, giving restaurant employees the ability
to:
-
Check their work schedule anytime, anywhere with a fast,
mobile-optimized app.
-
Request time off, pick up a shift, or release a shift and check
manager approvals directly in the app.
-
Call or email co-workers on their HotSchedules contact list with one
click.
-
Access their HotSchedules inbox and send messages.
An app update enabling manager-facing functionality, including dashboard
access, is expected to become available later in the year, followed by
Google Calendar integration.
The HotSchedules Android app is now available in the Android Market for
$2.99.
"There was a groundswell from our users online through
Twitter
and
Facebook
requesting an Android app," said Casey Clinkenbeard, VP of product development for HotSchedules. "This release was truly shaped by our
users. HotSchedules customers continue to be a driving force in our
overall product development, and mobile accessibility is a top priority
