## What is Fourth?

Fourth is the world's leading provider of innovative software services to the hospitality industry and the Fourth App is the mobile gateway to access all of Fourth's and our partner's capabilities. Using our purpose built platform, where team collaboration is at the center of everything we provide, the Fourth App brings to life the processes required to run an efficient and effective hospitality business that customers love. 

Evolving the employee experience while at and away from work, Fourth has a variety of mobile apps, which help run your business with our Workforce Management, and Purchase-to-Pay and Inventory solutions. Allowing employees to collaborate with each other, apply for holidays, view and manage their scheduled shifts, count stock, order and receive deliveries, and much, much more. 

Fourth’s Workforce Management solution:

Makes the lives of your managers and employees easier. Managers save hours every week by quickly building accurate schedules, and approving shift changes at the touch of a button. They can also publish open shifts, keep connected and stay on top of business performance on the go. Employees get more exact schedules, and can quickly and easily requests swaps, suggest unavailability, volunteer for open shifts, request time off and view payroll information, while staying connected with the business, their managers and their colleagues. Managers get out of the back office so they spend more time with their teams and customers, and employees feel happier and more engaged with the business, improving productivity, company culture and employee retention.

Fourth’s Purchase-to-Pay and Inventory Management solution:

Keeps operators on top of inventory by ensuring regular valuations are quickly and easily captured. Placing orders, completing inventory counts and goods receiving are completed on mobile devices, saving hours of time and eliminating errors caused by re-keying data. Actual Cost of Sales (COS) is easily calculated, and the gap between actual and theoretical is effectively highlighted and can be driven down as actual COS factors in all transactional data, daily sales and other account transfers and inventory movement. The result is better inventory management, ensuring you have sufficient products to meet demand while reducing waste and removing unnecessary administration.

Getting started with the Fourth App:

The Fourth App requires a Fourth Account to login, your employer needs to have given you access through an activation email and if you have any problems with access you should contact your line manager.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-30*

We had to switch to this provider and their app is not even logging in, so I need to access the website to check my schedule, but it’s such an inconvenience. Even the website looks like I made it on a free version website maker. Awful! I’d rather have my schedule printed out and posted at work that have to use it.

### 1/5 — Whoever created this app should be ashamed

*2026-06-19*

It directs you to a page on Google instead of being on a standalone app and doesn’t give buttons to exit out of pages you clicked on so you have to close the page

### 1/5 — Genuinely horrid.

*2026-06-18*

My company recently switched from another application called sling, to this, and all I have to say is that this is genuinely the worst interface I’ve ever seen in any app. The app doesn’t even let you do anything, it simply redirects to a website which in and of itself is a problem, but that very same website is also terribly designed and is very user unfriendly.

### 1/5 — Do not use!!

*2026-05-30*

Terrible app, we are currently in the process of switching. The layout is awful and it never seems to work. Also getting everyone logged in took forever , it was very complicated. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Useless app .

*2026-05-13, version 6.2.7*

This app is hot garbage . Go back to HotSchedules . Who ever developed this app needs to work at McDonald’s . You’re useless

### 1/5 — Nothing but issues

*2026-05-10, version 6.2.6*

It gets worse with every upgrade!
Being constantly asked for login details and now being locked out with “Please try again later” for over a week brought me to delete it.

### 1/5 — Works on the website, but not on  the app.

*2026-05-08, version 6.2.6*

Title. Frustrating app with frustrating processes.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2026-04-27*

Rotas hardly ever load , counting function requires update prompted at bottom of screen that never goes away. Hr function not available on the app . Much like it’s never available on desktop either once you’ve opened the tab once already. It’s increasingly frustrating to use this programme on all platforms.

### 1/5 — The updated version Does NOT Work!!!

*2026-04-27, version 6.2.6*

The updated version Does NOT Work!!

### 1/5 — terrible app

*2026-04-26, version 6.2.6*

it logs you out literally almost every single day and asks you to change password all the time and it crashes a lot.
