“It has 100% reduced no-shows. Employees can’t say they didn’t see the schedule anymore when they have it on their phones."
"Look for successful brands to continue investing in their people as the ultimate differentiator in the marketplace."
“It was a pretty messy process. We essentially used a spreadsheet, which is very static and would only work in a day-to-day environment if everyone was a robot. There was also a lot of miscommunication between the staff and myself especially when it came to shift trades. An employee would find a replacement for a shift two weeks ahead of time, but often the replacement would forget and miss their shift. I was then left finding someone to cover last minute.”
"It has saved me a ton of time. From schedule making, managing staff availability, to payroll. My staff also loves that they can easily communicate and get shifts covered when needed. Overall, I'd have to say 7shifts has dramatically improved my scheduling process."
"The way we scheduled in the past was with pen and paper. This made it difficult because staff would have to either phone or come into the store to see when they work. They would also leave little notes for me as to when they wanted to take time off. It was a communication nightmare. Now, with 7shifts, everybody knows when they work and they can submit time off from their phones. It's given me peace of mind."
"It took no time for my team to get used to 7shifts. My managers like being able to print off the daily roster. I also love how I can enter projected sales and see in real-time if my labor costs are on budget."
"Our business has taken advantage of the great ways to communicate more efficiently and effectively with employees through email and text right from 7shifts. Our employees also like the notifications and ability to check their work schedule online anytime without calling the store."
"Our old way of scheduling was unmanageable after we opened a second location. 7shifts has helped us to schedule staff easily across our stores, and it's also a great tool for communication to keep everyone on the same page. It literally saves me hours."
"7shifts is very intuitive, and that's important since we rely on it every day. My staff loves being able to use the mobile app to send in their time-off requests and I never have to worry that someone doesn't know when they work."
"I was amazed at how quickly everyone took to 7shifts. When you’re bringing in a new tool the worry is ‘are people going to actually use it?’ When I brought it out and told everyone about it, it took 48 hours for staff to embrace. People were in love with it. I was shocked. It was great."
"One of the features that I absolutely love about 7shifts is the Wall that they’re able to write notes on. It’s such a neat thing because my employees treat it as a social media website. They write really cool notes to each other. In addition to work-related messages, for trading shifts and whatnot, they will send each other notes of encouragement and it’s really cool to see that."
"Before 7shifts it felt like there was a lot of anxiety about what the schedule would look like for employees and what they would need to do to make it work for them. Scheduling was time consuming and stressful on both the employer and employees."
"The accessibility is what really brought me in. It’s very, very, very cost effective for our small business – that’s what really did it for me. Factoring that and it’s user friendliness is how I made my decision. This is so much easier than trying to track people down."
"We need to focus on our core business, which is producing food. All other things need to be addressed efficiently so [we] don’t have to worry about them all day. Before we used 7shifts, we definitely had a lot more headaches managing the schedule. Now, it’s sent and done and we are ready to do other things – think of new ideas, ready to think ‘expansions’. We utilize the technology to address these needs which will free our hands up for business goals."
“There was just so much paper! It was very inefficient.”
