Ratings and reviews

FIRSTLY, Darden is a great employer to work for. I've been in the restaurant industry my entire life. I've moved all over and have had bar/service work as my 'side hustle' constantly. HOWEVER, this is the worst app I've ever used. It is a constant glitch w/many missed shifts/pickup/swap because messages/swaps/releases never posted or posted repeatedly w/o notification. Darden, just scrap it and use Hotschedules. It is infinitely more user friendly.

Darden is an AMAZING company to work for but this app is absolutely terrible. There are constantly glitches and lags with scheduling, logging in, etc. The developer's need to seriously sit down and fix some of the issues. If it wasn't for the fact that I constantly screenshot everything, I would totally be lost. Until real changes are made, I'm only giving the app 1 star.

This is a pretty awful app...even when you consider most of it is just linking to the website. I've been using it for years and the login system for this app is still one of the worst I ever seen. It goes whole weeks where the app states credentials are invalid but the same credentials work perfectly for the website. The fingerprint system on most phones helps to manage the fact that you have to change your password frequently to one you've never used before...as if you're securing top secret classified documents. But occasionally the app will simply reject the fingerprint saved password forcing you to reenter it. And if you can't remember it? Time to change your password on the website, which still remembers your password, and then wait two days for the app to update and finally, type in the new password. Try any earlier and it will just keep telling you that your credentials are invalid. The worst part is, the overall app isn't too bad when you consider it just links to the website for most info...but if you can't get past the "Fort Knox of employee logins" then it doesn't really matter. Just use the website and try to pretend this app doesn't exist.
