Simple to use- excellent support staff This program has been easy to set up, simple to use and the support staff has been absolutely wonderful about answering any and all questions that I have had.

I'm disappointed that this platform… I'm disappointed that this platform hasn't gotten things together. I swear it is run by 1 person and why is there technical support number? I've only been able to submit requests/issues via e-mail. Anyways, about once per quarter, maybe more, the system goes down, without warning, and usually during my busiest times. I'm unable to log-in, cash out customers, check my schedule- nothing. It is beyond irritating. I should have switched after the first round of issues I had early on (regarding certain customers' sales tax not being sent to the processing company and me having to pay out of pocket) when I started my business but didn't want to look unprepared to my customers as a new business. I'm not sure I can take much more of this irritation.

Bang on customer service I heard about Artichoke during a podcast I subscribe to. The current scheduling program I was using had a plethora of glitches and shaky customer service. So, I made the switch and couldn’t be happier. They have short, user friendly, videos for setup which are very helpful. Even though the videos are awesome, I needed help with a few things during set up and emailed support. They returned my email in a timely manner and went above and beyond to make sure I knew the program and how to use it well. All of this happened during the free trial period. How can you not love a company that is helpful when you haven’t even paid for their service yet? You need to switch from your current scheduler and GET ARTICHOKE now!

Awesome! I really love the customer service! Everyone at Artichoke is super friendly and helpful. They also take suggestions seriously which is great!

Shopping around I have been shopping around for a new system since the one I am currently using is getting too expensive to justify. I liked most of the features on Artichoke, but adding employees to the mix (+25 per employee or $199 for unlimited) would make it more expensive and less robust than the one I have now.
