About Us


Our mission is to make hourly work easier for local businesses and hourly workers. Homebase currently serves more than 100,000 small (but mighty) businesses with everything they need to manage their hourly teams: employee scheduling, time clocks, payroll, team communication, hiring, onboarding, and compliance. Just don’t call us “Human Capital Management.” We have built tools for the busiest businesses, so owners and employees can spend less time on bullsh*t and more time on what matters. The Homebase team brings small business expertise from Intuit, Square, OpenTable, Yelp, Gusto, and First Data.

Life at Homebase

Homebase is the easiest way to track hours, schedule your team, and hirefor free! We build modern software for local businesses and their employees. Our goal is to make hourly work easy. Everyone has a favorite spot - that cafe that serves the perfect chicken sandwich on sourdough, a tavern with forty brews on tap, the Italian place you took your significant other on your first date, the bookstore with the greatest collection of scifi. All of these local favorites have cultivated something special and unique - as special and unique as the people that dedicate their time to making that business great. We believe in these entrepreneurs and we believe in the people who work in these businesses. We are on a mission to eliminate this paper so that owners, managers, and employees can focus on the things they love.
