What is Homebase?
Homebase is a workforce management platform built for small businesses with hourly employees, spanning industries like food and beverage, retail, healthcare, hospitality, and home services. It combines employee scheduling, GPS-enabled time tracking, team messaging, hiring and onboarding, and payroll into a single application, with automated shift reminders, shift trading, and labor cost forecasting. Homebase also integrates with point-of-sale systems and third-party payroll providers such as Gusto and Paychex.
The company offers a free Basic plan for single-location teams up to 10 employees, plus three paid tiers (Essentials, Plus, and All-in-One) that unlock unlimited employees, advanced scheduling, PTO controls, HR compliance tools, and onboarding.
