Homebase was founded in 2015 by John Waldmann, based on the observation that small businesses with hourly, shift-based workforces, such as restaurants, retail stores, and other local service businesses, typically had far less access to sophisticated workforce management software than larger enterprises, often relying instead on paper schedules, spreadsheets, and group text messages to communicate scheduling information to employees, a fragmented and error-prone approach given how important and operationally complex hourly employee scheduling can be for these businesses, where labor costs represent a significant share of overall business expenses and scheduling mistakes can directly hurt both operations and employee satisfaction. Homebase's platform provides small business owners and managers with tools to build and share employee schedules, track time worked and manage timesheets for payroll purposes, communicate with employees about shift changes or company announcements, and, in many markets, run payroll directly, giving small business owners without dedicated HR staff a more consolidated set of workforce management tools than piecing together separate scheduling, communication, and payroll tools independently. The company has emphasized ease of use and affordability specifically tailored to small business budgets and technical sophistication, differentiating itself from more complex enterprise workforce management software built primarily for much larger organizations with dedicated HR and operations staff to manage more sophisticated systems. Homebase's customers span small businesses across industries with significant hourly shift-based staffing needs, particularly restaurants, retail, and other local service businesses, a segment that collectively employs a very large share of the U.S. hourly workforce but has historically been underserved by workforce management software built primarily with larger enterprise customers in mind. The company has raised substantial venture funding from investors including Bain Capital Ventures, Baseline Ventures, and Cowboy Ventures, reaching unicorn status, competing with other small business workforce management platforms including When I Work and Deputy.
