Employees can react but can't reply

Why teams switched to Breakroom

One of our Rhode Island general managers found Breakroom, and they've been using it for our Rhode Island locations, and they love it. So our vice president just asked me to look into it to possibly convert the whole company.

One of my managers was doing some research and they came across Breakroom and some of them have started using it, where they took it upon themselves to buy it and start using it and they're like, oh, we really like it. It's very similar to Crew.

I think Breakroom will work well for us. We've looked at a lot of different systems. I need it to be pretty simple, and I can't have them walk through 10 different steps. I need to be, like, quick, and they'll do it.

Got questions?

Can employees reply to announcements?

No. Employees can react with a thumbs up or heart to acknowledge they saw it, but they can't reply. This keeps your message clear and prevents it from getting buried.

Can I see who read my announcement?

Yes. Click on any announcement to see who opened it and who hasn't. You can send a one-click reminder to people who haven't read it yet.

How is this different from regular group chat?

Announcements stay pinned at the top and can't be replied to. Regular group chat gets buried as people keep messaging. Use announcements for important updates, group chat for conversations.

Can I send to specific locations only?

Yes. Send announcements to all locations or select specific ones. Perfect for franchise operations or multi-location businesses.
